• It charges over USB, so when I travel with my wife, I can just charge it off her laptop with a simple cable.

Just a heads-up, Mafoo. Not all USB ports are created equal, and apparently some will not provide enough juice to charge the iPad. You might want to test it on any device you plan to charge it with before you find yourself low on power in the wilderness of New Zealand or something.

Thanks for the heads up. I have heard this. Her laptop is a year old 13" Mac Book. If that doesn't charge it, we will have words with Apple ;)

But for New Zealand, I have the travel kit from Apple (so we can charge her laptop), and it comes with a wall jack for USB, so we should be good. Thanks again for bringing it up :)
