DW wants an AC charger to put in her iPad travel bag. Most of the chargers I'd seen (including the original iPad2 one) are very 'cube-ish'. I'd rather not have her have this huge lump sticking out of the bag.
I'm looking for something like the Kindle charger (attached image). It's relatively flat, so it has a nice low profile. Unfortunately the Kindle charger is only rated of 0.85A, and I think the iPad needs a full 1A in order to use it and charge it at the same time. Lesser powered USB chargers/ports will either charge it while it's off, or power it during use, but not both at the same time. [I have a Kindle charger, so I know it doesn't do both.]
I'd prefer to get a charger whose output is a USB port. That way, it can be used with other devices, and the separate USB to iPad cable can be used with a computer if needed.
Thanks for any suggestions.
