I got my hands on XtremeMac's latest in-car iPhone power adapter, the InCharge Auto. As luck would have it, CNET car tech writer Kevin Massy loaned me his trusty desktop car lighter power supply to see if the adapter was worth its salt.

The result? It works! In fact, the adapter's standard USB connection will likely work on other USB-chargeable products as well.

For just $20, this seems like a good solution for charging you iPhone between destinations.

The following product mentioned is available.

Excellent Charger
by jprice00 July 25, 2007 7:20 AM PDT
I just picked this up yesterday at my local Apple store, and it works excellent and was able to charge a few other devices that have standard USB conenctors. Can't be beat for $20.

So I have had one of these types of chargers for several years (zip-linq) what makes this one so noteworthy other than being sold at the apple store? This is all very old news.
