    It should be able to, judging by the spec.

    Assuming it actually puts out the power that a USB port is supposed to put out. I've tried at least a half dozen "stand-alone USB ports" that wouldn't power my devices because they put out just a little bit less power than they should, according to USB specs. Cheap Chine crap.

    #6, it is related to the power output of the usb. click the history link just below the deal's headline and look for details.

    I have used the USB to charge my Xbox 360 controllers. By the way, this is great to have at the airport where it is so hard to find enough plugs for everyone who wants to charge their laptops and phones. But it's a bit bulky.

    Got one of these and used it on a cruise. It charges 1 iPhone just fine, but connect two and they both go nuts. Not good. I believe it's 500mw per port, and the iPhone charger is rated at 900mw.

    I use this to charge devices via outlets plus and iPod and cell phone via USB. I highly recommend it.

    This is a great idea. I wish Apple has something like this. It looks a little big...
    Question is does the plug part rotate (swivel)?

    Still over price. Should be like $12 if it only puts out 1 watt Max. And it doesn't swivel.
