Power Monkey performed beyond par in my recent trip to Europe. Bought it primarily to power up my iPod on the plane ride and out of the country trips. Very easy to use and lots of different adapters to use with all electronic gadget one might own. Worth every penny. Thanks.

Brought this handy gadget to Europe this summer. It worked double time to charge my kids' ipods, itouch, and cell phones. It's small enough that I can actually put it in my purse to bring anywhere I go, now that we're back home.
Agree with other posters...great idea but the small usb for my blackberry disintegrated on the 3rd or 4th use. If replacement pieces aren't available this is not a worthwhile purchase.
first time I used it on my psp, it worked, next time I used it, it turned off as soon as I plugged into the psp. And the battery was full, 3 bars, I made sure.
In conclusion, after 1 use it broke... Brilliant
I had a tip break after three uses as well, but it was the DC 2.0 (Nokia Mini). I'm thinking it's not just the Blackberry tips that disintegrate.
BTW, I see that Magellans has added a toll-free number from which to order new tips. The Power Traveller web site lets you order them separately as well. The tips are inexpensive, but the shipping costs are nasty if the item has to cross an ocean to get to you (as it does for me).
Just what they all said. The B'berry connector broke on the 2d or 3d use.
The power monkey operated fine for my IPOD, but the first time I plugged it into my blackberry, the attachment fell apart. Seems like a great idea, but not very well made.
Power Monkey is a great size and the charge lasts. It did great for my ipod for a very long flight, but the blackberry device fell apart at about the third use - there is a manufacturing problem with this piece. Can a replacement part be purchased separately?
Power Monkeys do not have a connection for LG phones. This renders my Power Monkey to only my IPod. There seems to be no way to find if a connection is available.

I bought one several months ago and discovered that my devices do not have connections in the kit. Magellan's was prompt at supplying me the vendor info so I could order them; however I have been unable to do so. So it just sits unused, very frustrating! Can't use on GPS, cell phone, and I forget what all else I tried. None are weird brands.
