Even in the worst case you'd just buy another charger somewhere in the world, or plug into it a computer in a internet cafe or borrow someone else's.

I travelled to Honduras (from the U.K.) and realised after a few days I didn't have a charger for camera and then battery ran down. It's non standard and I couldn't find one anywhere. However, I noticed someone I met had a similar camera so I just borrowed her charger. In another situation (another trip) a friend's camera failed, but I had two cameras by then, I let her borrow one of mine with her memory card for the rest of the trip - problem solved.

Somehow, I don't think your story (or mine) has anything to do with dropping a business with millions of users, annoying lots of customers, with knock on effects for Flickr, upcomming etc. and losing trust with the early adopter community which are key to many new products succeeding.

Trust is not commodity you can borrow or buy.
