File this under “stuff that makes sense” and drop a carbon copy in the “why didn’t I think of that” folder. This is an in-vehicle power inverter with two AC outlets and a USB charging port in the shape of a coffee cup so it’ll fit perfectly in your car’s cupholder.
It’s only $30, too, which isn’t insanely expensive for a power inverter — especially one that fits somewhere like, for instance, a cupholder. The “Powercup” puts out 120 volts of AC power (200 continuous watts), which should be enough for most laptops along with your cell phone and one other gadget.

This is an awesome product! Definitely on my wish list! Thanks for posting this one.
I bought something very similar at Staples a few months back, I use it all the time. Its incredibly hand to have it easily seated somewhere.
Targus makes one:

I wish I knew about this one, the targus one is less watts, less ports, more money!
I’d buy that!
