nice picture, but don't underestimate the problem:
it would require a chipset which runs Linux 2.6 and is fast enough
to handle the transfer speeds. This would be a non-trivial engineering effort.
The chargers and batteries, however, are low-tech, low-cost, disposable devices assembled in China.
It would be better to keep the USB/IP hub as a separate device which could
be connected to any USB micro power source.
