The N800 tablet has a tiny standard DC connector. The tiny
switching power supply has no markings or information on it
except NOKIA on the plastic. There's no polarity or
voltage/current ratings. When the battery is dead, it charges in
about an hour or so and the little brick hardly gets warm.
The Motorola ROKR Z6M has a camera USB connector for power/USB
connectivity. Just for fun, I plugged it into my laptop using a
regular camera USB cord. It went into charging its battery off
the laptop's USB ****t like a little pig sucking milk from a sow's
tit while the laptop logged it on as an external drive so Windows
Explorer could swap files with its 2GB microSD card for more
songs. It's one cool slidephone....with a few glaring
stupidities, as usual.
