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
