Charger powers laptop while charging battery
QuickerTek has released a new MacBook Air power charger, the Auto and Airline Charger. The charger includes an adapter for use in an automobile or an airplane. The product differs from Apple's chargers that are included with every MacBook Air, with the ability to power the laptop while simultaneously charging the internal battery. All of the standard MacBook Air power options are maintained, including MagSafe. The charger features additional safety options such as a user-serviceable inline fuse and power filtering.
The device provides enough power to charge a users iPod or iPhone as it is plugged in through the computer's USB port. The charger includes a three foot long cable and a standard auto power adapter.
The QuickerTek Auto and Airline Charger is available from the QuickerTek online store for $90.
$90!

Of course, what this means is they are buying the Apple adaptor, cutting off the end and connecting it to their cigarette lighter plug. Thanks Apple for not allowing 3rd party companies to make magsafe devices.
