    How do I recharge my MP3 player on an airplane?

    On my upcoming trip to SYD/AKL, I'd like to be able to recharge my iRiver MP3 player when the power inevitably dies halfway through the flight. Any recommendations for a device that will allow me to do this? I'll be in biz class, so I expect there to be some sort of power port on the seat.

    Thanks.

    Josh

    Is it an iPod Josh? I'm sure a quick trip to Best Buy will seure a DC charger. Anything by Monster Cable is the way to go.

    unless the airplane has jacks to allow for the plugging in of power cords you won't really be able to... the EMB-170 has then, two actually inside the cabin but they only work when the a/c is plugged in to 120V AC ground power.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Well rather then recharge the battery does your MP3 have the option for external power? If so just use the power port to power the unit bypassing the battery.
