This seems like a good small reserve battery. One nice plus is it is the smallest and lightest reserve battery I have owned. It uses a standard mini-usb connector so you can charge it through a USB port or any of the many wall adaptors you probably have.
To get an idea of the capacity of this device it provieds 1000mAh at 5 volts, a Nintendo DS Lite is 800mAh at 3.7V and a typical Motorola phone is 900mAh at 3.7V. So, one would expect the Duracell to about double the run time of any of these products (provided you have a USB charger for them). Note a typical high capacity NiMH battery is 2400mAH, at 1.2 volts. The power available in these devices in Wh or V*A.
This battery is a great size to carry with you all the time. It should provide enough additional power for that emergency phone call, or to power a PDA if you still have one.
One may want to wait for the next model; it has twice the capacity 2000mAh and a charge indicator http://www.duracell.com/us/smartpower/products_PowerReserve.asp. I expect it will probably cost more as well. If you need even more capacity today you can get a 3400mAh device http://www.amazon.com/Proporta-30423-USB-TurboCharger-3400/dp/B002DYGQI6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1253240582&sr=8-1.

I bought this battery to use on road trips for my Ipod Touch. It charges the Ipod several times over and is great to have. I cannot say enough how nice this charger is to have.

This battery is so easy to use and travel with. I got it as a gift and I plan to give these as gifts or stocking stuffers as well. I no longer bring my chargers for my cell phone, iPod or digital camera with me when I travel. I can just keep this battery charged and then power my phone iPod or other devices.

Easy to use, but would not hold a chage.
The hook up was easy but it would not hold a charge after two uses.
