2.0 out of 5 stars For $59 I expect more than a coiled cord, March 2, 2001

Price gouging at it's finest. This is a simple 12V plug with a resistor to step the voltage down to 5V and an appropriate sized plug on the other end. Asking $59 for this is absolutely outrageous. Yes it's a handy thing to have. Yes, I'd recommend you have a way to charge your iPaq in the car. No, I don't recommend this.

Take this same $59 to Radio Shack and buy a 12V 100 amp inverter. This device plugs into your cigarette lighter and provides a normal AC plug (like your house) and will let you use ANY small electrical device without buying a collection of cigarette lighter adapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy Gadget for any iPAQ, December 3, 2000

Ever been stuck in rush hour? Travel for a living in your car? Maximize your time and re-charge your iPAQ in your car!

I found this gadget to be perfect for those rush hour jams (or when traffic comes to a full stop!) to play games, do email, review documents, etc.

Granted you shouldn't be using your iPAQ and driving.... but if you want to spend your time in the car re-charging your device or if you travel for a living, this one is a must have.

There are times when I forget to connect my iPAQ at work. All day long it's being used and not charging. I just plug it in on the way home and presto....it's charged! I do the same for my morning commute.

Just leave this gadget in your glove box and it's ready to go the next day!

Ever been in the car on the way to work or home, and your batteries only have enought power to shutdown; and you just need to get one last e-mail through to the office on your power hungry modem. Well the auto adapter. Puts your fears at rest. Even if you didn't get a chance to re-charge your i-paq the night before, you are now able to do it during the drive to work.
