    Car Charger for HP TP

    Can't you just use any car charger with a micro USB connection to charge this device? Why should you have to spend $30 or more?

    Its hard to find a charger that will charge the TouchPad since it uses more voltage. It can use a traditional smartphone charger, but probably take forever.

    What you need to find is a 2 amp charger. Include search terms like "2a" and "2amp".

    Here's one for $2.65 shipped:

    I use the Griffin 2 amp charger that I picked up a while back for my iPad, it charges the Touchpad just fine...
