the stone is different from the shuffle and other usb rechargeable
devices in that it has a mini usb socket on the device and comes
supplied with a short, approx 2 inches, usb plug to mini usb plug which
you use for charging. a bit inconvenient in that you have to keep the
cable with you if you want to charge on machines in different locations
but does mean the stone doesn't need a removable usb plug cap like the
shuffle 1st generation. and it's a more universal solution than the 2nd
generation shuffles which require a very specialised craddle, at least
with the stone you can use any mini usb plug to charge it. but this may
mean it isn't compatible with mains chargers you already have for other
devices.

Robin,
I'm wondering too . . . as I already have the right cable fitting and a
slightly funny looking adapter from Maplin which enables me to charge my
Holux GPSLIM 236 directly from a mains socket. (It's worked perfectly
this way for ages.)
I'm wondering now if this will harm the Zen! <Smiles>
Haven't dared to try yet as it's my husband's wedding anniversary
present and he can't put it down!

Is there a mains charger for the zen stone other than charging
it by an usb port on a computer.
or could there be a charger with a usb like port for charging
it, I wonder could a powered hub do the job.
Cheers Robin.
