An alternative I’ve used with my one-USB-port UMPC, is a powered USB hub (powered by four included AAA NiMH batteries). Turn off the power switch, and it charges the four included batteries in six hours. Voila, it’s a battery charger as well as a USB hub. But only AAA, and only four at a time.

Costs a little more money (e.g., $19 at Newegg with 4 AAA batteries):

Is it me, or does that logo for apex look remarkably familiar?

It looks like Origami Experience without the orange hue.
