hey guys... im am stuck now because of one reason...

WHY THE HELL DONT THE NEW MP3 PLAYERS COME WITH STANDARD AC-DC ADAPTERS..

how in the hell am i going to charge my mp3 player (T SONIC 610 and Sansa e 250) when i am out of home?

we wont get a computer all the time... if it had been so, there wouldnt be any need of PMPs ... u can always play a song on the computer ...lol

anyways please tell me how do i charge those mp3 players of mine???

For T610 you can use motorola's L6 and L7 mobile phone chargers :) it wont affect the phone :) but wont regulate the voltage! no probs i'm doing the same :)

didnt get the second line dude....

wont regulate voltage???

this will definitely spoil the player...

is the output of the L6/L7 charger around 5 v as that provided by a PC USB port??

I use my LG cellphone's charger to charge my T610. It does the work well.

Here are the specs: 5.2V output, 550mA. Its OK for the player I think.

Any phone which has USB charging will do the job without any problems.

It Dosen't matter a lot as i m doing it for my player the same. Yes it do matters when you have a fluctuating power supply in your home.

1. buy any sonyerricsson k750i w810i charger it has 4.9v 450mA rating & a standard "type B" connector it has this kind of interface

2. cut the phone connector end of the charger & connect it to the input ends of the usb connector

3. connect the mp3 player to the usb connector & charge it !!
