1. We have a custom charger that can fast charge the phone.<br> 2. Standard usb chargers will work just fine.</blockquote><div><br>How long will charging the phone take with the fast charger vs. a normal charger?<br><br>
If a standard USB charger will take on the order of 12 hours (1200 mAh battery / 100 mA, probably more due <100% efficiency), that is really borderline of what sounds acceptable, if an overnight charge won't be enough to fully charge the phone.<br>
<br>I fully sympathise and agree with using easily accessible hardware, but if standard chargers take this long, perhaps the next hardware generation should use something like easily available Nokia chargers or similar.<br>
<br>If it were possible to inexpensively construct some adapter cable to existing commodity chargers to charge the Freerunner at 1 amp, that would of course be an option too. I realize this wouldn't be ready for the upcoming developer release.<br>
