Actually, those chargers from Blazie, (Now Freedom Scientific) have gotten considerably smaller. There is no logical reason why the Braille Note charger can't be smaller. Cell phones and PDA's all require chargers with advanced and sophisticated on-board circuitry, if they can do it, PDI can do it. However, I don't find the charger all that cumbersome as it stands.

Theyneed to have the prongson a different side such as the earthmate or even the cell phone charger. Then they won't take up two soccets on a power strip. I must admit, however, I do like the charger for the Braille Note much better than I do those from Blazie for the Braille 'n Speaks and Braille Lites. Those boxes are too heavy and the wires are much too thin. Now if any of you have the auxiliary disk drive that has a wonderful plug but it is a regular plug, not a charger. I think the reason these boxes are so big is there is a whole lot going on in those little machines so they felt they needed to be made bulkey but no doubt as electronics shrink in size so will the chargers for all of this stuff.
