Samsung recently did what the Flip figured out two years ago and put a USB cable directly into its PL90 camera. The question is, what took everyone so long?

For higher end cameras, it certainly makes sense to have to take the battery out and place it in a cradle. This allows you to charge one battery and be using the camera at the same time. Professional camera batteries are also 7.4V and won’t charge off USB.
But for the rest of us, integrating the USB cable means you don’t have to go hunting for that USB to mini USB cable or camera cradle. It integrates charging and photo downloading. It also means less materials, packaging and shipping weight. Oh yeah, you can also plug it directly into the USB port on our USB Battery Pack V11.
