Which is just what I was hoping for.
It sure would be nice if this basic information was published in the product description here on Amazon in the future!
If you have cell phones, or devices that need 800-1,000ma each, this charger can't do it. Total power out seems to be about 800ma split between the two USB ports.
Other than being weak in the power department, the unit appears to be well constructed, it does fit 2 USB cords comfortably, and has a charge indicator light so you know when its in use.
Note: Have to use your own supplied Iphone/Ipod USB cable with adapter.
Before you invest in this or any other standalone USB charger, you should make sure that your device will charge via USB cable alone. Many phones (Motorola Razr is one) these days have what looks like a standard USB connection but require special software or adapters before they will charge.
I got this for about $5 or $10 at Wal-Mart. Great investment.
A Garmin Nuvi cannot be charged from this device. The Garmin Nuvi thinks it's connected to the USB port of a computer and goes into a computer mode when plugged into this device. Technically, the Nuvi is charging but it can't be used in the meantime. This is most likely a shortcoming of the Garmin Nuvi than of this particular charger.
In the interest of "honest reporting" I have to edit this review. This charger MAY work with an iPhone 4s but with a catch... it will take a very long time to charge. I had a 1.0 amp charger and it took so long that I couldn't stand it! If you use the phone while charging, forget it. That will drain the battery faster than a 1.0 amp charger can keep up with. To the person who told me a 2.1 amp charger would cause a meltdown, I'm sorry but you're dead wrong. I am using a 2.1 amp charger as recommended by the Apple store near me, and it works fine. It charges the battery in a tolerable amount of time even if I'm talking on the phone or using data. I support truth in advertising, a lost art apparently. But after seeing how many of these iPhone accessory manufacturers and resellers misrepresent their products capabilities, or outright lie, I have to call them out. Don't take my word for it. Go to your local store, buy a 1.0 amp charger, keep the receipt and try it out. If it works good enough for you, then return it and buy one off of Amazon for half the price. If not, still return it and try a 2.1 amp charger with your iPhone 4s and see how much faster it charges for a couple bucks more.
