QuickLook: Qmadix USB Dual Mobile Charging Hub 4.2amp

Safari

I like to be able to charge my iPhone and iPad on the go. After all, I constantly rely on both and, at least for now, iOS 5.0 is killing my battery life. That means I have wall chargers around my house, at the house and, of course, I always have a charger in my car. I’ve used a number of car chargers over the past few years and the new Qmadix USB Dual Mobile Charging Hub 4.2amp has me pretty impressed.

There isn’t all that much to say about this car charger except for the fact that it is well made, includes a sync/charging cable, charges two USB devices at the same time and it works with the iPad. Yes, the Qmadix USB Dual Mobile Charging Hub 4.2amp is one of those items you didn’t know you want but, once you start using it, you’ll wish you had gotten it sooner. And you will never want to go back to a single USB-supporting car charger again.

You can pre-order yours here on the Qmadix website.

MSRP: $39.99

What I Like: What’s not to like? It is small, charges both my iPad and iPhone simultaneously and it even includes a sync/charge connection cable

What Needs Improvement: Okay, $39.99 is a bit pricey for a car adapter
