    Bought mine about 5 weeks ago and love it (except for battery life). Great screen, love the Gigapocket software. Everything's peachy except: I cannot find a source for a 12V adaptor for cigarette lighter plugs. Any tips would be appreciated!

    You may want to check out the Igo power system. It's a complete power solution that comes with various tips for various laptops/manufacturers. It also includes a standard AC plug, as well as a 12V car adaptor and one for auto/rail. You can also pick up accessory tips for various cellphones and PDAs so that you can charge your notebook and another device at the same time. Depending on your needs, might be something to look into...http://www.igo.com

    Would an adapter that had you use your current AC adapter work? If so you can find those at any major retailer/electronics store. Should run roughtly 35 bucks or so.

    The iGo product is great. I wrote a review on it a while back in case you want to read up:

    They do have a 90V product in the works that is much improved.

    The iGo 70 and 90 does seem to have a tip for the GRT 360 ZG.I can't get iGo to respond to voice mails and e-mails. Anyone out there using either one with GRT 360 ZG?
