I bought this one the other day. I'm supposed to get it tomorrow. They dropped the price an hour after I ordered it so I hand to talk to their customer service for a while.
Anyway, it has a USB port and should charge your iPhone + a MacBook on the road if you need it. It got good reviews. Can't wait for mine.

Thats a bit too much for my need. Plus then you ned to carry your usb to 30 pin back and forth with you from your car to your house. I just want a dedicated car charger 30 pin.

This is pretty good Griffin PowerJolt plus gives you another 12V socket if you need it. Failing that, what about this? Cellular line retractable car charger. Pretty good as the cable retracts when you don't need it anymore. Must be something similar in the US?
I use this one:

It's the OEM nobody version of all the standards. Works great, and I've had no issues w/ it. Charges my Droid/iPhone just fine. I'll have to test my iPad.

I bought the same thing and I have spare OEM apple cables so I just keep one in my truck. Works perfect.

This would probably charge VERY slowly and not at all if the screen is on. I have a 600 milliamp Belkin one that will not charge my IP4 if the screen is on.
I would seriously consider one of the 2 amp iPad charging ones. Those things charge iPhones so amazingly quick.

Another vote for the Griffin Powerjolt.

I just use a usb one as well, that way I never have to unplug it. Justplug in whatever accessory needs charging. Mine is a belkin and has 2 usb ports. One has a micro usb plugged into it. The other the apple cable.
