While the iGo products are initally expensive they do pay off in expandability and reliability. Everything is well built and it's easy to buy new tips instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, no fiddling with voltage sliders, tip polarity is a bonus for those not as technically inclined.

It's worth noting that many of the cheaper power adapters don't work well some PocketPC's and phones (especially when they are turned on). HTC phones need two USB pins connected to signal to the device that the power source is a relibable one as opposed to the +5Volts you get from a USB port (and the current/voltage you get from a usb port depends on the load you are putting on the USB bus, if you are using hubs, etc). I've had no issues using iGo products with my HTC Tytn.
