yes it can be done. you would need to disconnect the "meter" from the generator/dynamo and connect the generator/dynamo into a voltage regulator. Devices being recharged by USB cable all takes 5.0V.
The pedalpowergenerator.com people are charging an arm and a leg. $150 for a 12V charge controller
Portable devices recharged through the USB cable all take 5.0V. It's part of USB standard whether its USB1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 so you would still need additional electronics.
hmmm another potential product for me.

lol… I knew you could get a pedal power generator. We've just joked about the "waste" of using the trainer…. but if I'd have to disconnect the meter then it wouldn't be of much use

It is a slippery slope that powermeter thing. Next thing you know, you need to justify your purchase by getting some serious training.
