Pros: This is a wonderful little item to carry around in the car. It is a dual use item that can be used to charge AAA batteries using a usb port or can be used to charge other items using the port built in.
It can easily charge most items that require a usb port.
It also includes a small flashlight for emergency use
 
Cons: It overheats the batteries while charging. The auto off doesn't work. Also, it cannot charge the iphone 3g and the ipod nano video. 
The off switch is a bit difficult to move and gets stuck easily.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Buy this item. At this price, it's a must have

Pros: CHEAP!
Nice build quality.
It not only powers stuff but charges AAA nimh batteries too! 
Cons: As other reviewers have said, the switch seems to be a little sticky.
charging through USB take a long time 
Other Thoughts: great for an emergency power boast for devices that use USB power. I use it for my ipod and my cell phone all the time, it's great. 
Bottomline: this thing does it all, charges powers, and has a LED flashlight!
i wish they had a AA version, because when using with an MP4 player on a plane 4 AAA doesnt last that long. if dealextreme could get a 4 AA version, i would buy one for sure, and im sure others would too!

Pros: -All in one charger and backup power pack.

-Charging 2 color indicator light around the usb port.
(red = charging, blue= completed charging)

-Gives my psp slim 3hours more of gametime@333mhz from four powertech AAA 900mah batteries.
 
Cons: None. This product is top class.  
Other Thoughts: I wouldnt recommend using 4 AAA disposable batteries in this unit to charge usb stuff like an ipod, because that will be 6V, instead of the 5V from AAA rechargables. Use 4x  NiMH =5V to be on the safe side. 

Other reviewers mention the switch on this a little dodgy, Ive found it to be a tiny bit fiddly to use, the switch itself is just long thats all.  
Bottomline: Get this and add a usb multi end tips cable, a usb wall power adapter, and another 1-2 sets of AAA batts and you will have the perfect power solution to all your needs. 

Its more flexible to use than a expensive xxxxx mah battery brick+tips.

Overall Rating:

Pros: Good, solid construction, good concept, small size, semi-bright LED. 
Cons: No voltage regulation (even though it doesn't really matter for my usage), crappy battery life (as expected from AAA's), the Use/Charge/Off switch as tricky. 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Good enough for the money. Nothing much better out right now, so i'd recommend getting it.
