I bought one of these a while back for an mp3 player and it's great for that. Have recently bought a Kindle any chance it would work for that also. Can't seem to find the spec for their chargers.
Tanya, England - 31st January 2012

Firebox says: Hi Tanya, this should work fine with a Kindle.

Question first before I buy this adapter.... Is this charger charge on same speed as apple's charger? (I bought 3rd party charger but I discovered it's charger is much slower than Apple's. ) Who can test and confirm it's charger's speed?
Chillimania, London - 19th December 2011

Firebox says: Hey, the supplier of this item has informed us that they have never had any complaints about the charging time so it should be fine. Unlike some of the 3rd party USB plugs the Veho plugs are manufactured to a high standard!

Is this only a single port charger? Will there be other variations available soon?
Gismo, Scotland - 5th April 2011

Firebox says: Just the one port available at the moment.

Will this work with a Nokia C5 or Philips GoGear MP3 player? I've tried a similar (albeit cheaper) USB mains charger and these two devices won't charge up.
Rod, New Milton - 30th March 2011

Firebox says: If they are both USB chargeable this should work fine. as it works with all USB chargeable products. (You will obviously need the right adapters though).

Brilliant, have just ordered another one as they are so handy. Worked fine with a travel adapter on a recent tip to France.
Pauline Burrows, Wigan - 26th March 2011

If I used this in Europe with a European mains adaptor, would this still work?
Mark WIngfield, Sheffield - 12th March 2011

Firebox says: Word from our supplier is that - it should work fine.

Does anyone know if this works for PS3 controllers?
Vikki Bilbey, Norfolk - 26th February 2011

Have you tested yet whether it charges the iPod touch 4g?
Mac, Bradford - 21st January 2011

Firebox says: Whilst we haven't tested it, it's USB charged so we can't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks Firebox! Very Very quick delivery (next day) and the wall charger is brilliant and a lot cheaper than Apple's own charger. P. S. Thanks for the sweets.... Mmmmm Tasty :).
Brett, Derby - 9th January 2011

Does The USB Charger work with the iPad ?
Nat Y, Newcastle - 6th January 2011

Firebox says: It does indeed.
