I like the sound of it because it looks neat but you would blow anything that uses usb as it runs at 5v as already said, unless you could regulate 5v out of it :)

Incidentally if you have an old gamecube, you can pinch the power regulator out of that, put 12v dc in and get 5v out :) its also quite efficient.

(have hacked up a gamecube to do just this )

YOU HACKED UP A CUBE?!!?! WHY!?!?

Because i was going to make a portable, have got part way but got bored with it and discovered mini's :)

I've got a radio fitted under the drivers seat so it's out of view which has a USB port then bought a long iPod cable and threaded it under the carpets and now it sticks out just under the centre dials and then when im not using it it tucks neatly under the centre binnacle,
Not sure if this is what you're after but I find it great, I use it to charge my phone, play music through my phone and for satnav on my phone :)
Don't know if this helps!
