Anyone know of a power adapter or solution for airlines (United...) that use the em-power socket? Thanks.

How about an empower to cig lighter adapter used with the car charger?
I was hoping for a combined em-power/car adapter, but those don't seem to exist, so I'll check out the car socket to em-power adapters. Thanks.

Anybody come across a USB travel charger for the XDA II? I have the USB cable just need a charger that outputs 5v and between 1 and 2amps and has the usual US, UK, EU, Aus and NZ attachements. Expansys.com have one but outputs 5.5v - not sure if that will damage the battery, proporta.com have one also but outputs 9v! Why these chargers don't stick to the standard 5v is beyond me.
not sure what you mean but usb in this context
the connector in the buttom of the xda2 is not a usb connector
and usb cant provide more then 500mA
If you have a usb cable for xda 2 you can acquire a lighter adaptor into which you plug the cable, this will give the correct voltage.

Some power adapters come with USB sockets - I think it should become a standard so with the same cable you can get power from laptop/cigarette lighter/mains. Ericsson used RJ11 cables (modem cable) for it's mobile phone chargers but it never caught on.

Thanks for the link, I have two of them already, looking for something to plug into mains.
Mark,
I think I know what you mean: A plug (either 12v in-car or 110V/230V mains) that supplies just +5V DC on a USB socket.
Received one with my retractable sync'n'charge cable from time168.com (but those guys dont exist anymore).
Also received two with my BT GPS from DConnex.
I would say they are for sale on eBay, at least with the sellers that supply these sync'n'charge cables.
I made an emergency charger myself based on USB: 4 NiMH AA cells (1.2V each) in a battery-holder & wired to a USB socket. Not pretty, but good enough for emergency.
You might want to look at www.javoedge.com. They have a USB retractable sync/charge cable and you can also get adapters that allow you to plug the usb cable into a US/European/wherever plug socket adapter.

I had a look at those - they're not really travel chargers just US and EU chargers and a bulky adapter for the UK.

That sounds like a good idea. Proporta.com have a 9v charger
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=940&t_mode=des but I was thinking AA batteries would be easier to get in an emergency.
Since I only know basic electronics I used 4 rechargeable NiMH cells that gice approx 4.8v alltogether. With normal (alkaline) AA cells you probably end up above 6V. I would not try that . . .
Setback of my solution is to have an AAcharger with me for longer trips.
About the travel adapter: The usb travel adapters I have came in two flavours:
1. Car cigarette lighter use
2. Mains use. I also got a number of 'plugs' with it to make the adaptor fit a variety of mains wall outlets.
Just bought something interesting, its an adapter that plugs into the car cigarette lighter and has a usb input on the other side, allowing you to charge up anything that needs a usb for charging, mobiles, ipod, even any pc accessories that use usb (mini fridges, fans). Only cost me a pound from poundland! Just thought I'd let people know as it can be quite handy!
Does anyone know of a good, working airline charger that I could buy that would plug into the armrest on an airline so that I can charge my A101IT?
I'd prefer one that hooks from the armrest directly to the A101IT without the need to attach and/or buy 1 or more cables to the initial airline adapter to get the A101IT to charge.
Basically, like this but without the car adapter part.
Looking to spend no more than $20 USD.
You could also get this - http://www.newmp3technology.com/mc101.htm which will work with the other part.
But don't most planes have USB ports these days so you could use this - http://www.newmp3technology.com/adc101.htm
I don't know if planes these days have USB ports in the armrest because it's been a while since I've been on one but I did happen to already buy the 2nd cable with the usb part so I could charge it through my laptop.
As far as the 1st one, I already have the car adapter for my vehicle and do not want to buy another adapter or continue to take it in and out of my vehicle to then take it on a plane and return it back to my vehicle once I'm back. So again, I am looking for one that goes directly from the Airline Adapter part in the armrest directly to the A101IT WITHOUT connecting more cables like the car adapter to it. Just 1-to-1.... if it something like that exists for airlines?
Like so: http://www.newmp3technology.com/airlineadapter-a101.htm
(without the car adapter part, just have the 3.5mm barrel connector on the other side of the airline adapter).
Hello all,
I just purchased the ONE and as part of a promotion from T-MO US they gave me a free car adapter. I would like to hardwire the car adapter to my car, but the connection cable they gave me was just a Micro-USB charging cable.
I do not want to have to dock the phone then have to insert a 3.5mm headphone cable into the top of the phone and have wires running all over the inside the car.
I can modify the bootom of the dock to accept an MHL cable instead of Micro-USB, but I need to find a product that break off MHL into USB (hardwire for charging) and 3.5mm headphone jack that I can then plug into the back of my factory stereo behind the dashboard, thus only having to dock the phone and not have to plug anything else into it.
Any suggestions on such a product?

Has anybody used a splitter for 12V port in a car with any luck, particularly with the Nexus Wireless Charger? I have been using a USB adapter with no issue, but could use the extra port.
I have tried two from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/AVANTEK-3-Socket-Cigarette-Dual-Port-Computers/dp/B00F474DVG/ (received a replacement as well)
http://www.amazon.com/cigarette-lighter-charger-Cigarette-splitter/dp/B003YJ8TVQ/
Products both seem to work, Plemo customer service was excellent, too. However, the charger does not work on the 2.1A USB port. If I use the previous USB adapter into the splitter, the charger functions as desired. I believe the charger is max 1.8A? I am using the USB cable that came with the charger, and have tested it with an alternate cable. I have not tested it with a charge-only cable. Don't have much knowledge in these things, so not sure if I should try it with a charge-only cable before trying yet another splitter. Just thought I'd post the question in the meantime to see if anybody had any luck with a similar setup, and what pieces they used for it.
TIA
