I know, it may not be the right forum, but maybe someone of you know a mobile charger to charge usb-devices (like ipod, etc) that runs on a 18650 cell. it should be as compact as possible.
 
Haven't seen any premade that take 1x18650. DX does have options that take AA or AAA rechargeables. Alternately you could construct one. The "Altoid tin" options I have seen on the net are using electronics that require above 5 volts in. None of them seemed all that difficult as a project, if you could find the right driver to drop the voltage.
 
or mayb the solar powered ones if you dont mind using it during the day only
DX sells them
 
I've used this with some success. It's great for my iPod Video but for some reason doesn't charge my 2G Nano (donno why)... Most USB powered stuff works great but not everything. A plus for some (like me) is that this ships fast...
