It was the last thing I ever bought at CC :)

Plug into the outlet and can charge two phones and two ipods all at the same time. Great for hotels.

Maybe instead of just dividing up the 3 amps over the 4 ports it allocates it based on used ports. That would then work if you only had a couple of phones plugged in. Just speculation, mind you.

I didn’t realize my iPhone USB adapter was not just more portable than the bigger alternatives, but also delivering more power in many cases. Thanks for the food for thought.

The specs for this device says it has 3amps of juice available. But my guess would be that would provide .5amp to each of the four standard ports and 1 amp out the mini USB cord… which would mean no rapid charge for your iPhone.
