I love my little ZipIt Z2. I don't always make room for it in my bag, and it was annoying me to cart around yet another adapter. Taking a look at the back of the adapter, though ... five volts, you say? 1.2 Amps? That sounds a lot like what USB provides!
And it turns out it works. I chopped the barrel connector off the one end, and cannibalized one of the million USB cables I've accumulated in my life. Twist them together to test -- solder them once I've got the polarity right -- and I'm all set. Now it can travel with me, with one less accessory.
