I need one that will charge an iPhone, reasonable price and available in a store. The one I have will charge an iPod, but not my iPhone. Not sure why, but it doesn't. I don't want a dedicated car charger as I use the usb type to charge different devices as needed. Any recommendations?

DollarTree has them for ..... $1. Also, found at Shop4Tech - a cassette adapter that included light-plug with just 5v USB on other end.
I use Black&Decker 100 watt inverter with 110v plug and one USB port ($17.88 @ Wally's)

I have an inverter that I can plug the wall adapter into. Don't want that solution. Just looking for the cigarette plug that has nothing more than a usb port - small, lightweight, and multi-purpose.

Some chargers do not have enough juice for the iPhone.
My Belkin works fine, but my Cig lighter>USB doesn't have enough amperage to work.

I have 2 little 110 AC wall wart-style USB chargers for iPods. One is 500mA, and the other is a full amp. remember that a real USB 2 port on a computer is a full 2 amps, and even a USB 1 is 1.5 amps.

I guess that I should have been clearer. It needs to provide enough juice to charge an iPhone and available in a brick and mortar store as I need to pick one up tomorrow. I can find a bunch of them at Target, Office Depot, Best Buy, etc. I was hoping that someone knew of one that definitely works with the iPhone.
It's been a long week and the lack of sleep is starting to show.

Unless it specifically says iPhone, get the one with the highest wattage available.
