I have an Ipaq 4150...... and a retractable usb cord (javoedge); :D

My question is how fast does a USB car adapter charger re-charge my pda battery? Is it reliable? :twisted:

Is it just as good and fast as an AC adapter when charging :?:

Any comments on this adapter are appreciated as i'm interested in purchasing one. :D

I have a car charger for my e805 that operates with a USB cord connection. It works exactly the same as the wall charger as far as I can tell from charge times. One caveat; it will work best if your vehicle has a dedicated power plug that does not turn the power flow on and off with the vehicle. If I plug into a standard lighter socket, the PPC turns on whenever the power status switches on or off.
