I have been using this adapter for the past several months. It does work, although I question that I really get 1000ma from each USB port (or 2A total otherwise) since the phone charges much slower than 1A wall chargers.

However, there's a bigger issue with this adapter. There is a LOT of noise in the power coming out of it, enough to be noticed (loudly) in the audio output of my HTC incredible. Other chargers I have don't do this. It's so loud that I wonder if this affects the life of the phone's circuitry as well.

As verified by a B&K Precision bench power supply, this unit only consumes around 2.5w of power when charging an HTC Droid Incredible, which is rated for 5V @ 1A quick charge. Neglecting charger overhead, 5w should be required. I found the same was true of a Griffin charger rated for 2.1A. Battery Charging Specification states that dedicated high-power USB charging ports should short the D+ and Dpins, and they are not shorted on this charger. The HTC OEM car charger works properly.

Ok, so I purchase this during an Amazon daily special. At the price of 6.99 with shipping two day included, I could not resist. Even though I commend Amazon for this "deal", I still can't rant and rave about this charger. To me, it is just another average charger that does the job. You plug it in the car or truck lighter, it does the job.

One thing I do like and will point out is the technical details says "Dual USB sockets allow you to charge 2 devices at once". This is a very nice feature. Further, the little blue light is "neat". Nothing special but at least you know it is doing its charging job by lighting up. I guess those two features might deserve a 4 out of 5 which I think I will change before posting...perhaps that does make it a little better than average from many I have seen on the market.

Pricing on Amazon at 9.99 with free shipping of two days from Amazon is great price and fast shipping...would I give what some of the independent want at 14.00 plus shipping of whew "higher than first class"? No, I would not. Sorry sellers who are selling this product, as I do understand you face "heavy fees" from Amazon, but why pay more with the competition? So, at 8.99 to 14.95 with shipping included...good deal and you'll be happy.

Bottom line is does what it is suppose to do...
