BlackBerry 12V/24V Automotive Charger

This product appears to be a genuine original equipment Blackberry car charger. It has the Blackberry name and logo on it. The plate on the bottom of the cigarette lighter plug of the unit states that the electric output is 5 volts, 500mA (500 milliamperes or .5 ampere). The plate on the wall charger packaged with a new Blackberry 8800 states that the wall charger output is 5 volts, .75 ampere. Thus, it appears that the car charger produces two thirds the electrical charge produced by the wall charger (.5 vs. .75 amp.)

This car charger is used with a Blackberry 8800 and has performed admirably and without any problems. It costs a fraction of the price charged by AT&T ($29.99), apparently for the same product.

This works great with my wife's Blackberry Pearl. Now that she has Bluetooth in her car, she really needed a way to keep the phone charged while on the road. This does the job as expected.

Don't bother looking around and just get this. It's a steal at ten something with shipping. It looks like it's a real RIM product and works. The company also shipped it out on Monday after I ordered on Sunday. That's quick service! I have a BB 8820.

I have been using my Blackberry Curve for almost 2 years and only 3 times have I been able to run the battery to empty in one day. This car charger works as you would expect it to so if you're more addicted to your Blackberry then I am (and I am fairly glued to mine) this charger will keep your thumbs moving even longer then they probably should :) .

Whistler Pro-800W 800 Watt Power Inverter

A prime selling point is the internal technology it's designed to handle high startup loads for longer than most inverters. Note that a common load nowadays laptops and electronic equipment (which use their own transverters) have a high capacitive load. Power tools usually an inductive load. So you need an inverter that won't trip out while most modern (i.e. non resistive) loads start.

For my wife's van 3 laptops and a Wii is common. For my truck for various power tools. My trusty 400W would no longer reliably handle the load. Esp at startup without a plug which in first dance.

Don't look for cigarette lighter adapter it just won't work for 800W. They're common with 400W inverters but won't reliably supply them either (12-14v x 15 Amps is about 200 watts). And even your cigarette lighter wire is usually undersized (read not for continuous use at fused amperage) So don't ding any high power inverter over cigarette lighter adapters it's a simple technical requirement.

To handle the load, I'm running new fused power wires from the battery through the firewall to the dash.

Note one trick on running wire run two 10 gauge wires instead of one large one for each polarity. Just be sure each red/positive is individually fused at the battery and the you can tie them together at the inverter (each wire is self protected safe and both together supply needed current). This is a common trick used by HAMs and others. Much easier wire to work with and fuses (up to 40A) are standard automotive fuses and holders.

Here's a link to that wiring trick (or search for "most practical powerpole size for 700 watt inverter")

I use this power inverter to power a laptop, webcam, and video camera while storm chasing. The only problem I have is the USB slot. It will not keep up with a smart phone, at least with everything powered up and charging. I fixed that issue by adding a small extension cord.

Really this inverter works pretty good. Keep in mind you're getting what you pay for. If it's cheap, don't have overly high expectations for a product to last 20 years. Mine is used and abused as it sits in the floor of my car. Passengers kick and step on it all the time and it continues to function.

All in all I thinks it's worth the purchase.....

I have a 2000 watt Whistler inverter and am very happy with it (I wrote a review of it if you're interested). The 2000W version is part of a solution (package? system?) I put together to supply power for a few items I'd like to have available in a power grid failure like a hurricane or an ice storm.

Part of that solution is a pair of 12V batteries and a battery charger (NOCO Genius G7200). The batteries supply the power to the 2000 watt inverter. The charger keeps them ready or, if the grid is down, recharges them. My problem was how to supply power to the charger if I deplete the batteries and the grid remains down.

Turns out my NOCO charger needs only 150 watts to charge the batteries. This Whistler 800 watt inverter can provide that without breaking a sweat, and only needs 80 amps DC to provide it (actually, to provide 800 watts, not just the puny 150 watts my charger needs). My car's alternator provides 105 amps, way more than the Whistler 800 needs to max out.

So I bought this item and now my car can power this 800W inverter that can easily and safely recharge the batteries that supply my 2000 watt inverter. At the same time as it's charging the big guy, this 800W inverter has power to spare for lights and low-draw electronics (laptops, cell phones, cable/DSL modems, wireless routers, VOIP boxes, cordless phones, yada yada yada).

You can buy the 400 watt version for a bit less if you like, but if your car will support the 800 watt version (80 amps minimum) why would you not opt for more power and flexibility for just a few bucks more?

Nope, I don't work for these guys but I probably should :-) And yes I'm a Viner but I paid for both this and the 2000w version and all the other goodies in that system. Whistler makes a good range of products here.

AIMS Inverter Cable 1/0 AWG, 6" - 200 / 300 Amp

• Use with 12 Volt 3000 Watt inverters or smaller
• Both ends lugged
• Cable diameter is 9/16"; Lug diameter is 5/8"
• Extra flexible conductor with soft drawn bare copper
• "CT" Approved; FT4 Rated

Love how nice and short this cable is. I use it to connect my batteries together for a solar bank. The shorter the better to avoid voltage drop. The cable is crimped very well at both ends and with the 1/0 AWG can handle a lot of amps. Would definately buy again.

Bluetooth Handsfree In-car Visor Kit for All Sony Ericsson Phones

I purchased this speakerphone in 2009 & used it twice. The people I spoke to on the phone said it sounded like I was in a fish bowl. I chalked it up to the fact that I didn't spend $80.00 or so & it was just a cheap model. Buyer beware. That would have been my review in 2009. I stopped using the speakerphone until I now need it because the state laws changed. I was reading the reviews on many speakerphones because I wanted to get a good one without spending a lot of money. Who'd of thunk it! Some of the reviews talked about the same fishbowl sound & others said that it was because the volume was set too high. I pulled this unit out of my desk drawer & tried it again. It works great. I started with the lowest volume setting & a friend on the other line to test. I put the volume to the highest level just before the fishbowl sound began. I now have an inexpensive unit that really works. On a side note, I charged the unit once in 2009. I am now using it on a workday basis (I'm a contractor & am on the phone a lot during the day.) After one month, I am still on the same charge. The four stars is because the unit turns off when not in use (ultimately to save battery life). The unit is audible when it turns off so I just turn it back on, but there are times when this is a pain in the neck because I turn it back on frequently.

OEM Original USB Home Charger with USB Data Cable for Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V VM670

The only negative of my Virgin Mobile Optimus V phone by LG is that it has a relatively short battery life. I bought a couple of these in order to give an extra one to my kids and to have one at work. These are perfectly identical to the original ones which came with my Optimus.

Almost as good as the one that came with the phone. Only flaw is that it fits very loose into the phone and you have to jiggle it to get the connection. Then it can't be moved without losing the connection.

Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black

I realistically give this 4.5 stars, but I reserve 5 stars for perfect devices, so I round down.

I'm a gadget-guru and have used a number of Bluetooth in-car speakerphones in search of the perfect device. In fact, I've used so many, I've come up with a criteria-list of 14 items that I use in my pursuit of the perfect Bluetooth device.

What makes the perfect car bluetooth speakerphone?

==============My 14 Most Important Criteria Items============

1. It should have caller-id that speaks the name of the caller

Yes, this Jabra Tour has spoken caller-id, works great!

2. It should automatically turn on/off as you are away from the car

Yes, it does this with a motion sensor which also works great.

3. It should have ample volume while driving at highway speeds

Not as loud as the Supertooth HD (my favorite), but reasonable and acceptable.

4. You should only have to press a single and easily accessible button to answer or place a call

This is where I mainly deduct a half-star. The button to use voice-dial is different than the button to answer a call and they are tiny and opposite each other. In fact they are so small that you sometimes have to glance up to see that you are pressing the right button this defeats the purpose of hands-free that is supposed to keep your eyes on the road. If Jabra could just improve this, I would absolutely give this 5 stars. Look at the Supertooth HD SuperTooth High Definition Bluetooth Portable Visor Car Kit and Speakerphone for Cell Phones, iPad 2, and iPhone Retail Packaging (Black) (the only 5 star rating I've given), it's one big button, just press it, easy to find every time without looking.

5. It should make use of your phone's built-in voice recognition system (if your phone has this)

Yes, assuming you can press only the small voice-dial button and not something else. Jabra if you made the big round speaker an actual pushable button, you'd have an awesome, perfect product. [I'm still waiting for a manufacturer to make a wireless button we can install anywhere so we don't even have to reach up to the visor]

6. It should be easy to pair and auto-download your phone's contacts

Yes, super easy to do.

7. It should reconnect easily when you are in the car

Yes, this works very well.

8. Callers should be able to hear you clearly at highway speeds

Callers can understand me but as with every Bluetooth speakerphone, they will likely know you are talking on a speakerphone or headset just because of road noise. I've used/listened to built-in factory Bluetooth phone systems in BMWs and Hondas and you can still tell they aren't holding the phone to their ear and mouth.

9. The charging port should not be obstructed when the device is installed on a sunvisor

Yes, this is on the side and it is in an ideal spot.

10. It should have a long battery life

Yes, although it doesn't automatically tell me battery life like the Supertooth HD does whenever it connects, you can hold the voice-dial button down for 3 seconds, say Battery and it tells you battery life. Fully charged it's some 20+ hours of talk time. After a couple of weeks of moderate usage, it was still at 12+ hours of talk time. I think after a month it was still around 10+ hours, which is excellent.

11. It should be reliable whether it is -40 degrees in Fargo or the internal car temperature reaches 140 degrees in Texas

I've only had this for a couple months so it is too soon to tell, I will update this review after a few more seasons.

12. It should have good documentation or manufacturer's website and/or responsive customer support

Yes, Jabra is excellent with their website and online support documentation. In fact, it doesn't really ship with a detailed manual, but it is easy to find on their website. I've noticed a lot of vendors have been doing this, cost-cutting, but greener for our environment.

13. It should be usable whether the sun visor is flipped down or up

I am not deducting anything for this, but no, this is "one-sided" for however you've installed it. If you flip the sun visor, the speakerphone will likely be blocked and against the windshield and you're going to have to blindly find the buttons and lean forward to talk. The Supertooth HD is the only device I'm aware of that uses a magnetic clasp so that it can be removed and used on any side of the visor. If you never use your visor, then this is a moot point.

14. It should be reasonably priced

As of this writing, the Jabra Tour is ~$85 and the Supertooth HD is ~$60. I still feel the Supertooth HD is a better device and value all around.

Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone is a very good quality bluetooth speakerphone. It is easy to pair up and operate. The button are back lighted and big enough for easy operation. The sound quality is good . and the auto on and auto off motion sensor feature is very convenient. Pretty much all you can ask for from a bluetooth speakerphone at this current moment.

Key features:

1. Good sound quality

2. Very easy to use

3. Pair up with multiple devices

4. Auto on and off with the motion sensor

5. Compatible with both Android and Apple IOS (and SIRI as well)

6. Make calls using your voice (voice control feature)

Buy Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black Now

I was wondering what the difference was between this "Tour" and the Jabra "Freeway" as they are so close in price...

The Tour is louder, which in my case is good for use in my noisy old Jeep CJ... at cruise anyway 8-)

Voice commands TO THE TOUR work the same as my Jabra Freeway, but you must hold the voice command button down for at least two seconds, just hold down until you hear "say a command" and not just a quick on/off push

Actual PHONE commands must be avail on your phone in order to use them.

Jabra seems to have this bluetooth tech down pretty well, but have to wonder why make a fully new model at this price point with the Freeway already in place with happy customers... but again, it IS louder with this big single speaker and 3 watts of power.

Bluetooth range is set by industry standards (low power) so you're not going to find any that have longer range (33ft) until the rules change in general and allow them to make more powerful bluetooth transmissions.

This is Bluetooth V3 but the industry has already approved V4 for manufacturers to use so that should show up soon in products.

The Jabra Tour DOES play music files from your phone... however is not in true stereo.

Great heavy duty, full width solid metal clip to hold on the visor (or even your belt or shirt/pants pocket if you care to use it that way) Also works just fine on the desk as a speakerphone.

Car charger and USB cord supplied, but Jabra really should have included an AC wall charger at the MSRP I think. I would never charge something like this from my computer's USB port.

This TOUR works well, but you might want to check out the Freeway before you pull the trigger; Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (Black, Retail Packaging) Just know it's not quite as loud on full volume as the Tour.

PDF user manual is available for download or viewing at the Jabra site.

I LOVE my Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone that I use in my convertible and I really needed another speakerphone for my SUV. My husband uses the Jabra JOURNEY Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone in his work truck, so you can see we are long time users of Jabra products and they have been reliable, easy to use and we consider them to be high-end quality. Sadly I do not feel the same about the Jabra TOUR. Pairing it with my iPhone 4S was extremely easy, just follow the voice commands after you turn the unit on and go to the bluetooth setting on your phone.

Voice commands are easily recognized and Siri's responses are heard back loud and clear. Siri is the only one heard loud and clear, but anyone else who I talk to sounds muffled and hard to understand. Even when playing music the sound the speaker produces is not the best. It states it is a "Powerful 3 watt speaker delivers rich sound on calls, music and multimedia", but it sounds like someone has turned the bass off and the treble on the highest setting. There is nothing rich sounding about that. This speakerphone should of came with the option play it through speaker, or transmit it via FM to your car stereo. At least that way you can control the equalizer settings to your likings.

The unit is extremely sturdy and it will stay put. Now Jabra needs to come out with a new speakerphone that has the construction and the functionality of the voice commands of the TOUR with the FM transmitter feature and virtual surround sound of the Jabra FREEWAY.

This did not work well for my wife with an iphone 5. She is short but the Motorola T325 works much better and she went back to it. The Jabra one cuts the person off if another starts to talk, it is like having a conversation between an airplane pilot and the tower. The motorola T325 does not do this and you can have a normal conversation.

Kiwi Choice U-Powered Solar and USB Portable Charger - Retail Packaging - White

Lightweight, easy to use...what more can you ask for? This is my first solar charger, so I was a bit hesitant on which one to order. I finally went with this one because it said that it would also charge my laptop. I don't know if it will do that (next item to try), but it definitely charges my Walkman and Kindle. My only (very minor) gripe is that the instructions seem to have been cut off or they forgot to complete their information. The booklet tells you that there are 4 ways to charge the charger. 1: solar power (no kidding! lol) 2. USB (ok) and then...nada. Obviously, plugging it in is another choice, but there aren't any adaptors for that. So, so I used my Amazon Kindle cord w/adaptor (to change the USB to one for an electrical outlet) and then attached the appropriate plug for the device. The booklet said it would take around 4.5 hours to charge, but it was much, much faster than that.

Update: the charger does NOT have enough power for my laptop, but I don't want to downgrade the rating for that. It works well for the smaller items, so next time I'll know to check the actual rating on power provided and what's needed for a particular item(sry, but I don't know the tech terms). I would definitely buy this item again.

A friend and I both purchased one of these. Mine never worked it won't charge with a cord or in the sun I have called customer service since its covered for a year but I am always forced to leave a message and no one calls me back. My friend's worked for a little while until the solar panel and white plastic casing melted in the sun. You are supposed to leave it in the sun in order for it to charge. How is it that the plastic is that cheap? My friend's also didn't hold a charge for as long as the description states it needed constant charging. Very dissatisfied with this item.

I really liked the concept of this solar charger, but the product itself leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros: convenient three panel design; not much bigger than a cell phone; the built-in flashlight is a bonus

Cons: Completely warped in low heat sun; takes at least five days to fully charge; full charge is only enough to charge my phone about 5%

I left it outside on a picnic table in full sun (springtime in Ohio, around 70 degrees) and by the third day, the plastic on the charger was so warped that it wouldn't close properly. When closed, there is almost a full inch gap at the top between the first and second panels. I wasn't too worried about it at that point because it wouldn't effect the functionality of it.

On the fifth day, when all four blue lights were finally lit up, I used the provided adapters to plug in my Evo 4G. Fifteen minutes later, none of the four lights on the Kiwi would light (the charge was completely gone), and my phone hadn't charged enough to even be noticeable.

I hoped that it was because it was the first use, so I tried again, but three days later, in mostly full sun, only one of the blue lights is lit, and the warped plastic is getting much worse.

I expected much more than a 5% charge for my phone from five days worth of sun, and I expected a product made to gather sunlight would be able to withstand the springtime mid-western sun.

At best, it's just a warped, expensive flashlight. I guess I'll just have to try another brand, and I recommend you do the same.

This is my second Kiwi charger. I lost my first one when I placed it on my parked car during a folk festival, then forgot it when I drove off! I missed it so much I bought this second one. It works very well. I leave it in my car which I usually park facing South. I charge my iPhone mostly but can also use it for the iPad. It's very portable and a good conversation starter. I have a Prius and my friends ask if that's what charges the car! Using the device to recharge small electronics just feels like the right thing to do.

Jump-N-Carry JNCXF X-Force 12V Single Battery Jump Starter

This is a very well made jump pak. I've owned a number of jump pak's over the years and this one is the best of them. The cables are longer than any of the others I've had also. An example of the quality. The cables themselves are printed "Made in USA", and have a high quality sheathing on them which makes them very flexible. The most noticeable thing right away was the fact that this one is much "slimmer" than others. In other words, instead of being the size of a normal battery, this pak is slim and tall. Makes it easier to carry and store.

eForCity Retractable Micro USB Car Charger Compatible with HTC Droid Incredible

I'm actually using this for my HTC Aria (AT&T) not the Incredible. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I like that it retracts, though as some other reviewers mentioned, the cord is relatively thin. This has not posed a problem for me, it just makes me want to be a little more careful with it than some other bulkier models. No complaints here.

I love the retractable cord! No more having to worry about a cord getting tangled up in my glove box! Compact to take on trips too!

If you are one of those people that really abuses your things then this charger IS NOT for you. If you are an organized, clutter conscious, gentle person then this charger IS for you. I love the little blue LED light, and also have another retractable charger that lives in my other car. They both work great, but the charging wire is small, so just to be safe, make sure you are gentle with it and it will always work for you. My other retractable charger is over 2 years old and still going strong. No complaints!

I got this charger in August 2007. I plugged my player into it every time I used it in the car. Between late January 2008 and early August 2008 it wasn't being used because it was not in my possession (or anybody else's). Then in late February 2009 I noticed that it wouldn't plug in anymore. When I examined the mini-USB end, I saw that a little piece inside was sunken in and caused the metal inlet to be pushed inside the rubber body when plugging it into the player. I tried to use tweezers to pull up the metal form inside, but it was no use. I threw out the charger and am buying another one to see if it happens again. I think this time though, I will only plug in my player for trips longer than 15 minutes. It took about a year altogether for this problem to occur, with daily plugging and unplugging.

Instapark® NEW All Black 10W High-Efficiency Mono-Crystalline Solar Panel

This 10W panel is a great size to use as a charger for keeping your car battery topped off. Given the amount of current it can produce, over half an amp under ideal conditions, you'll want to also purchase a charge controller. I bought the SunGuard made by Morningstar (available on Amazon as well). The combo is working well together so far.

I started off by buying one of those 1.8W solar "trickle" chargers, which will not produce enough current to keep my battery charged all the time. I measured the 10W setup today, which is a mid-December sunny day in northern California. Around solar noon I got 250mA, which is a bit less than half of what this panel can do. Keep in mind that the panel was also at about a 45 degree angle to the sun, which will also reduce its power output. I really need 130-150mA for a few hours a day to keep the battery charged. Having that extra 100mA will hopefully bring my battery to a full charge over the course of a few days. My battery was down to 11.87V late last night when I hooked the panel up. By lunchtime the next day, the voltage was 12.2V. My dinky 1.8W only managed to keep the voltage around 12V over several days, which meant it was struggling to keep up at best.

The panel seems fairly well made, but it arrived with some silicone residue that wasn't cleaned off at the factory. There was also a bit of a stain on the aluminum frame. Now, I didn't buy the panel for it's dashing good looks, but it would be nice if they were a bit more careful during assembly. All the tabbing on the solar cells looks to be fairly well done. The clear encapsulating silicone was free of any bubbles. The panel uses the typical "frosted" glass found on many flat panels. It seems like the most critical stuff is reasonably well done. The excessive residue on the panel and the crooked label on the back do bring back the cheapness of this item. Keep in mind i've spent four years working in solar, at a variety of companies. None of them let a panel out the door in the condition this one is in. In all fairness, none of my former employers made $40 panels either. For the money, this seems OK to me. If I wanted high quality, this isn't it. This panel is going to spend its time inside a vehicle, so it won't see the crazy weather, dust, and rain an outdoor solar panel would.

The junction box is easy to open, so that you can replace the short wire fairly easily. It will take a decent soldering iron to desolder the wires, but I managed with my 50W bench top solder station. I ended up putting a 10ft section of 18g a wire so that I had enough to put the panel in the back window of my car if need be. Yes, i could have spliced the wires, but this was a "cleaner" look to my new solar charger.

Overall, this is a good buy for someone needing a low-power panel for keeping a small/mid battery charged. When buying a solar panel, take what you think you need and double it. Unless you're using a two-axis solar tracker and a inverter or charge controller with MPPT, you will not get the claimed power from the panel. For most small installations, it's cheaper to buy more solar panel than worry about some of the other technologies that can squeeze the extra wattage. If you're putting in hundreds of watts or more, then investing in better equipment would be a good choice financially.

Love this solar panel, puts anywhere from 9(low light) to 15 and maybe more volts.

I have heard the cables connected to these panels called "flimsy" what I like is the sleeve that comes on it. In the back there is a little compartment where the soldered connections are made, the cables come out the back, I pushed/wiggled the sleeve inside the box closer to the soldered ends and now the sleeve is taking the pressure if the cable is tugged rather then the soldered connections.

Would buy again, probably will but bigger :)

Great product for the price and size!!!

I installed this on my RV roof A/C and it works better than advertised. It kicked out 19.6V. My RV batteries will always be full when pulled out of storage.

I was considering this and the Ramsond 10 Watt Solar Panel. I bought this over the Ramsond as a misspec (somewhere) indicated this was thinner and would pack smaller in a Jamboree Duffel (see below). Amazon has correct (if not updated) dimensions.

My application is "Simple Cell Solar" for the 2013 National Jamboree. The goal is full cell charges nightly with a day or twos reserve for my Razr Maxx and my son's iPhone 5

Testing Configuration:

-Instapark® NEW All Black 10W High-Efficiency Mono-Crystalline Solar Panel

-ExcessUPS APC Smart UPS Back-UPS BK BP CS RBC 2 RBC2 New Replacement Battery Cartridge UPS Battery Pack

-1N5822 40V 3A Blocking Diode (only need 1)

-"Watt's Up" RC Watt Meter & Power Analyzer WU100 Version 2 (for measurements ; not needed for deployment)

In full sun I'm maxing at 7.3 Watts at about 14V . Note that you won't see 10 Watts without MPP charger as maximum power is specified at 17 or 18 volts. This deployment (and anything similar) will voltage/current balance to the battery. This isn't a limitation of this cell but I'm pointing out what you can realistically expect without a very fancy MPPT charger.

Advantages:

Good quality construction (but check your caulking as others needed to)

Appears to meet rated specs (and note real-life derating without MPPT devices)

Disadvantages:

Doesn't include blocking diode. Your battery will discharge (at some rate) through the cell at night and on overcast days. Pretty much any charge controller will eliminate this need if you go that route.

Wire sheath wasn't under the strain relief bracket inside the junction. Easy to fix but you should check this.

It's Black. Solar panels become less efficient when hot which is why all panels (except for the cells) aren't black. This one is. Impact? I haven't computed it; may not be enough non-cell black space to worry.

Required some cleanup with alcohol; caulk bits/handling on glass and on two opposing corners. No biggie but it looked dirty.

Corner miter edges had sharp edges knocked off (good) but not finished/re-finished. Sharpie. No biggie but a detail.

Overall I think it's a great value; I think the Ramsond is probably comparable; I wish it (they) had the blocking diode as too many people "try solar" and have issues and a blocking diode helps fool proof them (and is necessary for direct battery hookup).

The panel is used to maintain charged batteries that power my HAM radio station when we have an outage, especially during an Emergency. It works well for me.

Very practical accessory for use in the outdoors. Batteries do not last more than 24 hours, less if user is inexperienced and needs more time to operate GPS unit.

Like everyone else, I hate Apple's not including an AC adapter with the iPod and then charging $30 to get one. And, like many here, I was hesitant to buy a $3 charger since it might ruin my $250 nano. But it isn't a $3 charger. It's more like a $6-10 charger when you add in the "shipping" -roughly $7.50 for one and $10.50 for two, which is really shipping, handling and profit. Even at those prices, it's much better than Apple and I like the design even better (roughly half the size and one third the weight. Given the small power output, that shouldn't be a problem and is better when traveling. Apple's adapter is almost as big as the one for my iBook and that uses many times the power of an iPod charger.

Someone expressed concern about the lack of a "charge completed" indicator, but I don't see how that could happen. To my knowledge, a USB port (which this charger replicates so far as charging is concerned) does not know when anything connected to it is done charging (or even if it is charging vs. operating) so all the charge control would seem to have to be in the iPod, not the charger.

I gave this product four stars instead of five only because of the company's misleading shipping charge. Paradoxically, they might sell more if they charged the true price and a more reasonable shipping charge since a lot of people are likely to be scared away by a ridiculously low price, out of fear they will damage their iPod. I wish Amazon would require its affiliated sellers to adhere to a reasonable shipping cost policy. Amazon's charging reasonable shipping is a big reason I tend to come to their site, but situations like this are making me look elsewhere more.

I've bought three of these on separate occasions one for me and two as gifts. Each arrived very fast by mail and all work perfectly. The charger is very small and has a built-in folding plug. It can charge any device that uses USB for charging. Simple, elegant and even with shipping it is less than 1/3 the price of the Apple version highly recommended!

Charger FRIED our iPOD video first time we used it. iPOD was burning hot and is ruined.I've sent 7 emails to Cemtronix-NO RESPONSE! Can't find Cemtronix phone no. anywhere-includ Amazon CS and internet search. Want reimbursement for new iPOd $265.19 plus 6.00. Very upset and disgusted that Cemtronix won't respond and Amazon won't provide phone number or address of Cemtronix.

READ THIS!!!

Cemtronix responded to my evaluation by writing: Seller Response: ""NOT TRUE" Item was tested and was not defective at all. This buyer was looking for a free iPod "SELLERS BEWARE"" Date: 3/13/2007

THIS IS NOT TRUE!! Cemtronix NEVER contacted me or tested the product. I still have it. I was NOT looking for a free ipod. Mine worked fine before using the charger.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY DO NOT DESERVE ANY BUSINESS!

Just what the doctor ordered. It's robbery what Apple charges for their chargers, considering that if you buy one of their $300+ video ipods, it doesn't even come with one! Just what you need for on-the-road charging, and it weighs next to nothing.

Broken after 3 uses. Extremely flimsy. Spend a few more buck and buy something more substantial.

Cannot beat the price, quality, and durability. Came as advetised and had been wearing well since I have owned it. Purchased this through Amazon which almost always has the best prices.

I purchased this charger on 2/28 because I can't get one anywhere else. Unfortunately, I still don't have it! I just keep getting messages that it will be available in the next few weeks then another message saying the same thing. Probably will have to cancel this order.

Car Kit Vehicle Charger + Home Wall Travel Battery Charger for T-Mobile Samsung Gravity T T669 - Sa

I spend Tuesdays helping my mom, who lives about 25 miles away and it seems like every week, my phone dies when I'm over there, so I got this wall charger to take over there. She keeps it a flower pot, along with her own phone charger, which doesn't fit my new phone. It was a BONUS that it came with a car charger, too--now I have one in my own car and one in the Dearest's truck.

Great price, great items, I'm happy, yay for me! :)

I bought this car charger for my mom. It worked out great because now she has a 2nd wall charger for her condo.

USGLOBALSAT BT821 Bluetooth MTK GPS with Car Charger

Purchased to use with Delorme Street Atlas USA 2006 as a replacement for the LT-20 that came with it. Acquires signal quickly and connects to the software using my laptop's Bluetooth interface much faster than the wired unit it replaces. It is great that the laptop is no longer tethered to the dashboard via cable. Can run on the internal battery or pluged in to a 12v DC power plug (cigarette lighter plug).

Minor Con: The blinking indicator lights reflect off the windshield during night time driving and is annoying. My solution was to put my ball cap over it, which doesn't affect the signal at all.

Update: After using this gps receiver some more, I have decided to upgrade my rating from a 4 to a 5.

The Product was as good as advertised and it seems to be a product that will last for soom tike..

Did not meet my needs at all. There was no mention in the material before purchase or when recieved at home that it did not work with an I-Phone. Wasted alot of time on this and had to pay a restocking fee. The whole deal sucked.

Needed to replace a prior unit for use in my airplane. Also works fine in a car.

This one acquires very quickly, the battery really lasts, and it connects to the laptop painlessly.

The best feature to me is that it auto shuts off 10 minutes after no communication with the host laptop over Bluetooth. That helps me a lot because I was always forgetting to turn off the old one, thus draining the battery.

Great unit!
