I've been looking for a USB cable for charging the DSi when I go abroad on holidays (I take a Mains/USB plug & a selection of cables for all my gizmos instead of all the different chargers) & I came across this (one of many)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Charger+Data-Tra...4QQcmdZViewItem

& I'm a little bit puzzled by the statement that it's a Charger AND Data Transfer cable

So my question is - What data can you supposingly 'transfer' between your DSi & your PC via USB ?

I've seen no mention about DSi/PC transfer capabilities other than 'You can take photos & transfer them to your PC (via memory card)'. I've had a quick (& I do mean quick) look through the Manual & there seems to be no mention there either
 
Just speculation, but a pc might recognize the SD card as a usb device. It might even recognize the DSi internal memory, but I doubt that.
