There have been plenty of discussions about this on the lists and the great news is that the Neo can use any USB charger. I have a Neo 1973 and use it on a daily basis. The great thing is that you don't need any special charger, you can use any $5 charger and it works. There is a small program out there that can pop up a dialog whenever it sees the Neo only charging at 100mA and asking if you want to draw 500mA. It really is a non issue. I have a couple of those chargers for home/office/car/travel and they all work and charge plenty of other devices too. IMHO a great design decision to use USB for charging. Finally there is an end coming to have all these different chargers around. So I just can second Steve: "2. Standard usb chargers will work just fine."
