Hey folks... I have a TomTom High Speed Multi-charger to giveaway. It's a great charger for your car - not only chargers your TomTom, it also chargers any USB device, including those high power device, such as tablets, thanks to its 2.1 amp fast charge USB port. 

  • Charges up to 4 x faster
  • Charges all your devices at the same time
  • Works with USB and 12 Volt products
  • Works in cars, caravans and trucks
  • Also suitable for iPad, iPod and iPhone

To enter, just reply here with what you are currently using (and if not using anything explain why). Extra bonus entry if you post a picture of your current charger (wall, car or anything). Fun ones please!

I will draw a winner at random next Wednesday 12st October. Good luck!

I just use a horrible old cigarette adapter to power my iPhone.  It has a curly cord that is always getting tangled in the gear-shift.  And being able to plug in USB devices would be awesome.

At the moment, i have an array of chargers all with curly cords, one for each device (bluetooth handsfree kit, ipod, phone charger) Would be great to have a fast charger, and it would go well with my TomTom!

Wow this would be a great addition to our car. We have cable installed to use the iphone through the car stereo, which charges the iphone, but wont charge the ipad, so have been wanting to get something to charge it on the road.

I got nothing. We just charge up before we go and hope we make it through. Cheap TradeMe one went straight in the trash...wasn't even worth the postage to return it. For my TomTom GPS its just the regular cable.




Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

I have a battery pack case for my iPad that spurns that outdated Li-Po battery tech for plutonium-dark matter, as near as I can tell, since it weighs about a kilo.

A car charger would certainly be very handy.

I use a wall charger at home, that came with my U8150. I also use this for my other USB devices (Garmin watch, PSP etc).

I leave my phone plugged into my PC at work but this is very slow to charge.

I have nothing in my car so this would be great!

If, come Wednesday, I somehow don't win can someone recommend a cheap USB car charger that fits snugly in the cigarette lighter hole?

Only use usb charging for portable devices when travelling from 240v supply so the tomtom charger would be ideal when in the vehicle.




that would be an ecumenical matter

I charge my tablet/camera/phone from a dynamo attached to the front wheel of my bike... I would post a pic but my camera battery is dead.... but as I am getting my licence back soon this would be ideal :)

Have cheap car chargers

one plugged in the dash and another in the back cigarette lighter for the kids and still cant charge enough

way too many phones and ipods and touchpad despite great battery life in some they all seem to go flat at the same time one fast charger would be great have been thinking about one of these since i saw a review.

Who ever wins Enjoy
