Mobile pi power?

I happened to be in the right place at the right time today and was given a mobile charger for my phone. After checking the specs it seems it delivers just the right amount of juice for a pi, 5V at 1A.  I'll do some double checking but it see if it will be ok but it seems like a pretty nifty way to power the board on my robot.
After consulting google I think this will power my pi for just over 2 hours so long as I don't run anything with too high a demand for power. I think it will fit nicely in the chassis too.
