We were one of lucky to get two $99 Touchpads (after pounding on the HP Small Business site for 8 hours one Sunday last August, I earned them). This adapter and USB cable with the distinctive mirror circles on each end came with each.
The cable is terrible. The metal connector at the mini-end of the cable is slightly longer in length (I didn't know that was possible, isn't there a universal manufacturing spec?). That extra length keeps the connector from seating properly into the Touchpad's USB socket, and causes an intermittent electrical/data connection.
BOTH HP-supplied cables that came with the 2 Touchpads had the same problem: Once plugged in, the slightest touch to the tablet or the cable started bouncing the connection. Nothing like watching your irreplaceable investment's screen flickering from a shorted electrical connection to get your heart pounding.
I tested the cable on other devices and had the same problem. On a Samsung Focus, I got an electrical connection to allow charging, but it would not make a data connection unless pressure was applied to the underside of the connector to tilt it in the phone's socket.
The OEM Samsumg cable that came with our phones works flawlessly with the Touchpad's circular charging adapter, and provides a stable electrical and data connection. The HP cable's connector physically wiggles in the Touchpad's socket, but the Samsung cable seats firmly.
If you run into the same problem, I would highly recommend buying the Samsung cable.
On the positive side, the round charging brick is really compact, and the tines fold into the body, which makes it a GREAT travel item. It's also a two-amp unit, which means it will charge just about anything portable short of a notebook PC.

this item is the exact plug (round) and 5ft. Micro USB cable(with the mirror tips) found in the box of the Touchpad itself. I'M very happy with my purchase since I am sure to need a spare down the road. Couldn't complain about the price either. *A definite buy while they are available.*

Works as intended. Comes with the usb micro cable also. You can use it as any ac to usb adapter, so you can plug in your apple connecter and charge your iPhone or iPad. A lot cheaper than Apple's charger.
Only con is the adapter is a weird shape.

Fantastic design
Very elegant, and fantastic design. does not occupy lot of horizontal space on the power supply stick or wall. It is vertical in nature and somebody with a deep design has made it. Read more

Charges My Touchpad No Problem
At 20% of the price I paid for my touchpad, this really isn't a great value buy, but it is essential and it works. The cable works both to charge and as a transfer cable. Read more
