Is this a good quality power adapter for the iPhone?

Wouldn't work with my iPhone 3G. Maybe that one's different?

i thought a USB port was all that was needed, that's all (assuming the voltage is correct).

Anyone knows of a good one or just get anything that works?

Note that "iphone" is not one of the devices the selling page mentions. It's important that you look for "made for iPhone" or something similar.

Check http://www.handhelditems.com where I've gotten quite a few iPhone accessories.

It happens.

I just like the idea of having USB ports instead of a dedicated iphone charger. I could charge my old ipod if for some reason, I'd want to use it. As well, it forces me to take my USB cable where I go and I won't forget to bring it to work in case I need a charge.
