Hello, Yes, I have an i-go power adapter. It has tips that plug into the device and the other end is connected to a power cord and you can also use the cigaret adapter or the adapter within the cigaret adapter on the airplane. I can charge my braillenote, cell phone gps laptop all by using different tips with this one charger. You can by this at Radio Shack for around 150 or so. Robert
