Apple's just slipped something into its iMac update press release that we didn't want to go unnoticed: a battery charger.
Apple's AA battery-powered lineup now includes the wireless keyboard, the Magic Mouse (which seriously burns through the juice) and
the Magic Trackpad, and for $29 you can score a dedicated charger for all that gear.
The Apple Battery Charger comes with six long-lived NiMH rechargeable batteries which apparently have a lifetime of up to 10 years.
Update: We just had a chance to get a quick hands-on with the little guy, and well, it's a battery charger.
Apple tells us the charger has the lowest vampire power draw of any charger on the market -- the idea is for
users to keep two batteries in each of their peripherals and two in the charger, so they can quickly swap out as the cells run out.
