How come every time I read an article on batteries on PopSci.com there is some blurb by the author bemoaning the inconvenience of the endless variety of the free market? "Boo-hoo! Too many options!" Most of the world is rolling their eyes and saying "I'd like to have a problem like that!" I do agree that the price of the wires and cords to recharge these devices are absurd, but I generally buy adapters to fit multiple devices or take special care to bring the charger. I have actually forgotten the individual device that I brought the charger for. I didn't buy a new one of those either. Perhaps the manufacturers can be convinced to offer two variations of their products, an ultra small one with a built in rechargeable, the other made a little bigger to accept AA (AA rules! AAA drools!). I actively avoid buying devices that use AAA because the damn things die too quickly, so in that case, I'd rather have rechargeable.
