Read the description carefully.

You have to run a cable from the phone's USB to a computer USB to charge the phone, and you have to plug a wall wart into the cradle to charge the spare battery. The wall wart won't charge the phone, and the computer won't charge the battery. This is NOT a Touchstone! Sounds kinda' cludgy to me.

Very cludgy but at 4.95 it might be good for a spare battery charger.

That's what I'm thinking - Have a few touchstones - but also have a few spares - I would only want to charge the spare. So wondering if the pre needs to be plugging in to charge the spare.

Anyone? Will it only charge the spare?

Can you use the standard ac wall charger to plug it into to charge? At that price it would be nice to have a spare battery charger. I don't have a pc anymore. I've just been using my original Pre 1 and now my Touchpad.
I've been looking for a good car charger for my Touchpad if anyone has a good reference.
Thanks.
