Sorry to disappoint you, but your previous post still makes it look like today's Zazz is a connectivity pack of some sort.

Today's Zazz is something like this:

As far as I am aware, this item has sold out on the previous occasions it's been offered, so if you want one, get in quick!
<p>
Cheers,

I borrowed one of these from someone who bought it on Zazz, nice looking unit, but didn't do what I wanted it to. I tried to run a FM Tuner and the charger for the phone (which was doing the audio output to the tuner) and there was way too much interference.
I haven't had any trouble with mine and simultaneously run/charge an iPod FM transmitter, PALM TX, eTrex Vista HCx, generic Bluetooth GPSr and charge my phone (k850i)
Get 'em while they're still available

Well it's a page back now, so never mind...
In further Zazz news, my Ladybird USB Webcam
* arrived today and I'm impressed, great results in low light. Works better than my $130 six year old Kodak DVC325 (and you can never have too many Webcams). Ordered via mobile
as there was a fault at the Exchange and all lines were out for two days. At least it didn't take the four days to fix Telstra quoted.
*Not currently available on Zazz.

The problem may be with the $5 FM Transmitter, and not the 3 in 1 Car Power Adaptor.

I've had mine (pictured above by dak) running with my BT headset, garmin 60C, small car fridge, and 300W inverter without any issues
I wouldn't want to run it like that every day, but for caching runs every now and again, it doesn't hurt it to work hard for a day
Definatly a great buy, and a hell of a lot better than the double adapter i had before, especially given that this has a nice long cord, that doesn't restrict where you have to run the adapter from

I've noticed catchoftheday have the same item as one of their small fish too often to be a coincidence. Same price including shipping.

What I meant to say was it is the same price from catchoftheday
including shipping as the listed price on Zazz
without shipping.
As far as quality goes I'm sure they came from the same factory!
I'm also sure that someone from dailydeals/catchoftheday checks Zazz at midnight and if they have some of the same product in stock puts it up for sale at a lower price. But I'm just cynical like that.
FWIW I've purchased stuff from both sites and postage from COTD is usually a couple of dollars more than Zazz and takes a few days longer to arrive.

If you missed out you can get from here:

Have used these guys many times and they're very reliable.
$$ in US, but the exchange rate is still pretty good and it includes free freight ( though it takes a couple of weeks ).
Cheers.

9 days to arrive. 12volt works fine, but I question the USB output... <br>plugged in an ipod shuffle (the little 1) started to charge but stops after about 5 seconds.

Surely 5v and 500ma is sufficient to charge these little things
