It's small enough to keep in the glove compartment or other storage area in your car. It fits snuggly into the power outlet on my dash and doesn't come loose while the vehicle is in motion. <br/><br/>I've found that this device delivers enough power to charge multiple devices that I own -- my phone, a PDA, and several different types of music players. One thing to keep in mind is that not all devices have a USB cord that delivers power for charging. However, it's important to note that this device can charge devices other than iPod Shuffles, as long as the power requirements are not too high. Given that USB is a low-power connection, it should work with many devices. <br/><br/>As with all things "iPod", this device is white, which becomes a bright eyesore on the car's dashboard. I would have preferred something black, but color is not an option. This device is well-designed and works well. It’s small enough to keep in the glove compartment or other storage area in your car.
