    Lightbulb iPad Car Charger

    What car charger are you using (if ever) right now?
    Is it iPad-specific? Or is just your iPhone/iTouch car charger?
    Any good deals around for nice quality ones?

    i have a power inverter that I can plug into my 12V outlets and get low amperage 120VAC + USB ports. So I can charge using my iPad charger, or at least use the USB plug to maintain the charge.

    I found a cheap iPhone car charger at Staples and I'm using that.

    As developer & manufacturer i can reply you , even this charger is good is not adapted for iPad, The output power is too small it will charge but too slowly and not enough for use the device in case if you are low battery …. and some time you will read : Not charging in your precious ….

    Yet we have develop one but our shop is not yet open this will arrive soon (surprise will come)

    Unless you know something I don't, I believe there is no official (OEM) Apple Ipad Car Charger yet.

    They do have the Kensington, Griffin, and Incase brand car chargers for the iPad though.

    Ni hao Abby, i think you didn’t know what you are talking about at all …. we are talking about charging not just maintain same level of energy this even a car charger for first iPod video can do it ….

    I used to have that Griffin you posted above, which works very well - it has the 2.1 Amps needed to charge the iPad, as long as you're using the 2 Amp USB cable that it comes with. I ended up upgrading to a Kensington Duo though, so I could charge both my iPad and my iPhone together without 'splitting' the charging power (it has 2.1 amps for iPad and 1 amp for iPhone). It's super cheap too ($8.49 on sale at Amazon).

    I just ordered two of [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K39224US-PowerBolt-Charger-including/dp/B003GSL6UG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1292357129&sr =8-1"]these[/ame], one for each of our cars. My wife often runs out of juice for her iPod, so this will take care of that problem as well as having the 2 amps for the iPad.
    it's all good - mostly
