But if it could be rechared not only via the USB but via a power outlet
you
could go anywhere.

One of the most attractive features of the BP to me is thhat you can load
up
a CF card, buy a bunch of batteries, and go anywhere without having to
have
a computer handy. I think it would be far better to address whatever
issue
is actually causing these random crashes.

.That would require a lot of additional circuitry for the recharging. A
nice
.compromise; one that's been suggested several times; would be to have the
.Book Port draw power via the USB cable when it's connected to the
computer
.and it wouldn't surprise me if this one were to be incorporated into the
.next generation of the hardware, but I'm only speculating. I doubt,
though,
.that the ability to charge the batteries from an AC source would ever be
.incorporated, since changing the batteries is so quick and simple and the
.cost and bulk of additional hardware circuitry might outweigh the value
of
.such a feature.
