The best adaptors for this are the Targus , they come in two versions a ac/dc and a ac only. Each of those comes with either 70 W output or 90 w output. I have the 70W ac/dc and it powers my ibook, my windoze laptop, my ipod, my mobile phone, and soon both my digital cameras. They are very clever, they just use a series of different "tips" ( which are plugs really) to adapt to different machines. Only catch is they are not cheap, but I bought mine in America a few years ago and it has powered over the last four year approximately 15 different devices, most of the extra "tips" are free from the distributor as well.

I know you are able to get inverters that are able to have up to 4 appliances plugged into it, but I would be wary of getting that personally unless I had a dual battery in my car. Off the top of my head I think they are about $40, but Dad (Reg) could answer this with a bit more clarity as he has just been out pricing them for my brother. We use it constantly in our car too usually for camera, mobile or DS charging, depending on what we have forgotten to charge before we left! Its well worth investing in one I think, especially if you do alot of driving.
