emergency charging

[SmartWombat]

Spotted the hotel flatscreen TV was a rather clever one, with a USB socket.
So I plugged in the iPhone and it charged overnight !

Why there was a lead coming OUT of the TV with a USB plug on, as if you could use the TV as a USB peripheral from a laptop I am not sure. I was too tired to tinker with it

A lot of new TVs can display content (video or photos) stored on a USB drive. I'm guessing that was the purpose here. You just discovered another (perhaps even more) useful purpose!

good idea!
