USB travel chargers

I'm looking for a USB plug adaptor so I can charge my iPod and mobile while on holiday. Does anyone know where the cheapest place I can buy (online or off) - the sites I've found were all quite pricey/expensive P&P. Not sure exactly what the device would be called either..!

Thanks v much,

D.

    I did a search for mains powered usb socket, there are lots of things like this ( works out under £9 with postage) which are exactly that, a mains powered charger with a usb socket. Anything you have that charges using a USB cable can then be charged from the one charger.

    As an altenative if you have a powered USB hub, these will usually work as a charger without the PC connected.

    My sony MP3 player came with a transformer with removeable USB lead for charging I now use this for all my gadgets while away.
