USB charger uses in flight headphone jack
Text from the engadget site....
The concept is pretty simple, but fairly ingenious. You just stick the mini jack of the Power Unit into your seat's headphone port and crank the volume. The device trickle charges for 3-5 minutes, and then can power a connected USB device for a minute, after which the cycle starts all over again. The $35 charger will work with small devices like an iPod, PDA or cellphone.
It may or may not keep up with an iPod's energy drain but it is a simple and cool idea.
