USB sync cable/charger for your 2nd gen iPod shuffle

I love the second gen iPod shuffle, but having to use the little dock to charge and sync it is a little bit of a drag. Sure, the dock isn't bulky but when I'm traveling I just want to take a cable with me and be done with it.

Luckily, for our Japanese readers at least, Diatec will soon be releasing a cable that plugs into the minijack on the shuffle and then into any USB port you choose. Pretty darned sweet. They will also be selling a charger that you can plug directly into an outlet to charge up your iPod shuffle on the go. These should be available sometime this month in Japan.
