This item is very light and transportable. The retractable power cord is a nice convenience and keeps the cord organized. The recharger powers my Tungsten E2 PDA, Samsung Rant cell phone (this tip also powers the Nook Color), Ipod Classic (6th gen.), and Nintendo DS Lite (This tip also powers the Garmin Nuvi). I threw away the bulky factory transformers that came along with my electronics items, which reduced the clutter and weight of my laptop rolling case.The included mesh travel pouch to store tips and the recharger is too small and a useless accessory that can be thrown away. The Case Logic Model #TBC3 with barcode #085854065092 is ideal for storing this recharger and accessories.Specific tips for your electronic items will cost $5-$15 apiece. This product will NOT power your laptop. A different iGo recharger model ($70-$100) for laptops is available and it will also power other electronic gadgets. The laptop recharger also requires purchasing tips specific to your gadgets.In summary, this product works as advertised. Business travelers will appreciate the light and compact design that replaces many heavy and bulky OEM chargers and the parts fit snugly without coming loose.Year 2011 update:This unit continues to power my electronic items and the iPod Classic tip also powers my current 32 GB ipod touch 4th gen. The retractable mechanism sometimes doesn't retract fully after years of use, but all you have to do is pull to extend it a couple clicks and then push the center button again for full retraction.Year 2012 update:This unit powers my ipad 2, but just a bit slower than the factory Apple charger. You need the old A61 tip to power the ipad and ipad2.Here's the specs for the ipad 2 charger: (Input 100-240V, 0.45Amps), 50-60Hz, (Output 5.1 Volts, 2.1 Amps, 10 Watts)Here's the specs for the iGo charger: (Input 100-240V, 0.3 Amps), 50-60 Hz, (Output 3.1-9 Volts, 1.5 Amps, 8Watts).
