It's a 12V device so you don't need anything except a plug that will fit and a power port adapter. Tip is positive. You can make one from parts at Radio Shack if you wanted to.

Correct... I might have to do that if there's not an actual power adapter ready to go for the Tab.... I might take a look at the assortment of Igo adapters.

I really like that mount, seems like it fits really well. What is it and where did you get it?

I haven't tried it, but I saw this one listed at Radio Schack:

http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3802146

It has the same volt/amp rating.

I got tired of buying new adapters for each device I buy especially as usually need USB power for Droid1 + whatever else so went with a simple dual out with inverter...

I recall you posted about that in the ZT-180 section. In fact, I think that I inspired you to find it.

I don't know if these tablets can be charged through the USB, like phones can.
