Would a motorola v3 car charger work on anything that has a usb socket on it? I notice they often list them as charging a lot of HTC phones and others. I have a couple of media players that use a mini usb to charge, and would be handy in the car. Dont want to get one only to find they somehow detect the phone and only power a suitable phone.

All my mini USB chargers work on all my devices, including a Titan and a V3 Motorola (and headphones and other stuff)

The only thing I can think of would be to keep an eye on the amps - I have seen 500mA and 1A mini-USB chargers, and devices that were expecting the latter weren't especially excited about being plugged into the former.

Comments are my own, don't blame my employer...

Actually, that reminds me of another thing, with something like a jasjam which has its audio out on the butchered mini usb, is there a Y cable so you can plug both headphones and a charger into it at the same time? Seems a huge ommision to not be able to do both at once.
