Why not to power it thorugh USB? Even if you will not use this anyway near computers, you probably could buy some kind of USB charger with little money? Ok, those PSU's are probably switching rather than linear, but does it actually matter?
At least in europe all major cellular phone manufacturers did agree on standard data+charger connector which they will be using for their new phones. Connector is Micro-USB. Is this true in US (and Asia and...) to? Because then one could use Micro-USB connector in gamma instead of original Mini-USB (are connectors pin & dimensions compatible?) and have no problem finding stand alone charger.
Ps. Oh why they had to choose micro-USB instead of mini? I mean, I have dozens of mini-USB cables, but none micro...
