Look into VEC414S (100w inverter w/usb and 3-prong size of cigarette pack!) . It's like $42...a steal. http://www.amazon.com/VECTOR-VEC414S-MICROSLIM-POWER-INVERTER/dp/B000KKMSDM Also check out Boxwave's miniSync (for Nokia E62...same voltage as N800) and VersaCharger PRO (w/airplane option). http://www.boxwave.com/products/minisync/minisync-retractable-cable-nokia-e62_2097.htm http://www.boxwave.com/products/bundles/airplaneconverter-versacharger-pro/index.htm You must use "special" cable for most devices...sigh. One would hope mini-usb would do it...but you must get special cable doing some pin swapping. Lastly (haven't bought this yet) check out Tumi's "Ultra Slim Universal Power Adaptor Kit". http://www.tumi.com/wallets_accessories/electronic_accessories/category_search/ultra_slim_universal_power_adaptor_kit/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=83777 With combination of these items (at least first two) I'm pretty well set for recharging my pdas, bt headphones, cameras, etc. Having 3rd item (universal ps) just means I can mix things up a bit more. To sync multiple items I have several "micro/mini" usb hubs...here are 2 smallest usb hubs I've found: http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-U222-004-R-Bus-Powered-Ultra-Mini/dp/B000092YOU/ref=sr_1_1/103-3857429-6614210?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1188353562&sr=8-1 <http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-U222-004-R-Bus-Powered-Ultra-Mini/dp/B000092YOU/ref=sr_1_1/103-3857429-6614210?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1188353562&sr=8-1> http://www.amazon.com/5PORT-Hub-Adapter-Hi-speed-Mobility/dp/B0009B0F6E/ref=sr_1_1/103-3857429-6614210?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1188353624&sr=8-1 <http://www.amazon.com/5PORT-Hub-Adapter-Hi-speed-Mobility/dp/B0009B0F6E/ref=sr_1_1/103-3857429-6614210?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1188353624&sr=8-1> Tripp-lite is smallest but is less likely to "lay down" and look as clean as slightly larger 5Port though. mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
