Also to note: I found the Freerunner not charging (actually it was discharging because it was on) when it was attached to a USB port on the dock station of a laptop. I moved the connection to a USB on the laptop and it started charging. I think some USB ports have lower power or maybe next to none.
The wall charger charges up the device quick - like in 2 hours .. as is stated in the wiki.
