    Checkout the Kensington 120W Slim AC/DC Notebook Power Adapter. You can find a review here.

    Check out the IGO 130. It can work with many electronic devices. Mine will charge my SZ and my cellphone. Works on auto/air/ac.

    Kensington 33197 120W Adapter with Kensington SmartTip kit for Sony Notebooks (20054) which you can order from here. This adapter works with almost all notebook models as long as you get the right SmartTip connector.

    N27 is the correct tip for the SZ
    G6 for the PSP
    M15 for Razr
    J6 for the ipod

    The Kensington 33197 slim power adapter comes with the cigarette lighter DC power adapter and the AC adapter all in one. There are many different power tips for lots of different laptop, camera, mp3, and dvd players and accessories. I bought three of them. I bought two from www.tekgems.com and one from ebay. None of them cost more than $35 and they all came with the N27 tip. The only power tip I had to buy was G6 for my PSP. I paid $6.99 with free shipping from another cool ebayer. I keep one of the Kensingtons in my car for my cell and Sony SZ. Another is packed in a travel bag. The third one is on my night stand. $100 for three complete AC/DC chargers.
