Charger juices iPhone, iPod at wall, car

Incase has introduced its 2-in-1 Wall & Car Charger, a device that can top off your iPod or iPhone's battery either from an AC outlet or from the cigarette lighter/accessory jack found in your automobile. It costs $39.95.

The device is worldwide-compatible with wall voltages, and DC-compatible with 12v and 24v power supplies. It features hideaway wall socket prongs, and it will charge the iPod or iPhone in standby or play mode. It sports a smooth rubber grip exterior and five-foot cable extension with built-in management system. An LED indicates when the unit is powered.

The 2-in-1 Wall & Car Charger is certified for use with iPods with a dock connector (it works with the iPhone as well, according to Incase). Look for it later this month at Apple retail stores and at the Apple store online, as well as Incase's Web site.

Incase's Web site had not been updated with information about the new accessory as Macworld
