When will Sony release a Sony Tablet S car charger?

[midi_man]

Does anyone know when/if Sony will release a car charger for the Tablet S?

Hi There,

There are no plans for an offical car charger at the moment.

Omar,

With a proprietary connector and no usb charging facility a mobile/car charger would make good sense and another ideal accessory - I for one would prefer a branded Sony one rather than third party.

I'm sure if you canvased opinion you would get a good response and therefore business case.

or atleast propiertary to usb or standard dc jacks to plug third party plugs into??

Pratish,

My understanding is that the the Tablet draws too much power for standard usb. Unless someone else knows different.

i would be happy to buy one

Ditto this, I will buy one if and when it is released.

This is true (tablet needs 0.3W, usb only outputs 500mW), but you wouldn't be charging from USB in a car, and the feed from the cigarette lighter socket would have pleanty of juice.

Come on Sony, pull your finger out - we need a car charger!!

I use my tab every day but my biggest issue is the charger. I'm hoping Sony make either a car charger or a USB adaptor soon (or at least let us know they are looking into it).

If not Sony than hopefully somebody like Hama will produce the needed adapter .

I hope an engineer from Sony is reading this forum .
