Geek Note: Phone Charging

Now that I've added a personal iPhone to my arsenal, I wondered if the little wall adapter could charge my old HTC Tilt. The Tilt's wall unit was "borrowed" by some teenagers about three months ago, and it's made charging it -- a drop in unit in the office or off a USB cable on my home desk top -- a pain.

Guess what? Drop a standard USB six (wide) to USB four (small) cord -- same one that would plug the HTC into my computer -- into the USB slot of the iPhone charger and bingo. Now I can carry one charger with the two cables for sync or charge and be good to go.
