iPod Altoids USB Battery Charger

For the 98% of people without a 3rd generation iPod, I have created a smaller USB charger for just about every other type of iPod. This time without a tutorial, I wired a 9v battery clip to an on/off switch, then to a 5v regulator, to a nice blue 5v LED, to a USB port, all in series. Everything can be bought at RadioShack for under five dollars, except for the USB connector, which I bought from digikey.com. A breadboard helps, but is not necessary.

A successful experiment, I followed a tutorial over at unixmonkey.net for building an iPod charger that runs off of two AA and two 9v batteries. This should charge a 3rd generation iPod from dead to full at least twice. Sorry about the lack of pictures, I thought of photos after I had hot glued the case shut.
