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.

Pratish,

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

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 .

To be honest this has really pissed me off.

If Sony had and has no plans to make accessories for the tablet they should have made the charging port a widely recognised one, usb as just one example. I have been recommending this tablet to my friends as being so user friendly in all aspects. This makes a mockery of that.

I just bought a car charger from somewhere. It is not a Sony brand, but I guess it will work. Will check later on.

Nice!

Have you got a link to where you bought it from?

I agree with everybody. To produce a mobile device which uses a proprietary charger connection, and not to provide a mobile charging solution is unbelieveable. Get with the programme Sony - USB charging and mobile charger are minimum requirements these days.

Me to! Sony Tablet S will probably loose some market share within mobile car and marine if not solving 12V charging!

If there are no plans for an official 12V car charger - where to find an unofficial car adapter?

If you really suffer from a voracious need to charge your tablet whilst driving, this should do the trick:

just use an inverter for now, but everybody is right so far, sony should bring out a 12v charge option. USB charging of this device is not possable as the device draws far too much power. I have always bought sony products over any other make, but I am begining to regret it, not giving a release date for ics really gets under my skin!

marc 141: my 'voracious need' is when using it as a sat-nav. Thanks for the link, which I'd seen eslewhere. Much to my surprise Homebase comes up with the cheapest option!
