I have two of these (bought from Fry's and Micro Center stores) and they work well (charging my iphone and headset as we speak :-). zip-linq also has a dual auto version that works well (I actually have 3 of that one, one for each of my and my wife's cars and another to leave in the backpack). Neither terribly expensive. You can also use a powered usb hub. Overkill unless you need the hub too... -- Pete
