Inflight power recharge kits? is that a joke?

The Inflight USB Power Unit is quite interesting as it pulls a trickle charge from the audio plug to provide minimal but useful power to handheld devices and music players. it’s probably two orders of magnitude below what’s needed for laptops.

Two orders? Might as well be a million. How in the hell are you supposed to interface a device designed to charge USB devices into a laptop? And for that matter who the heck thinks they're going to get enough current out of it?

Maybe if you want to charge you Ipod shuffle or something. Heck maybe even a cell phone....but a laptop? No farkin' way.
