I have been looking for it there might be this weeks offer.
That would be outside of the USB spec and would blow just about every computer USB port out there if it tried to pull 1A thru it 500mA is the max an actual USB port can provide, of course a mains charger could provide more thru the usb socket on the phone so it would charge in half the time but theres no way a phone can pull 1A thru a computer USB port.
I got a twin cigarette adaptor with 2 USB sockets from ebay for 70p after I used a paypal voucher (for £1.20)

Correct, regardless of what others have said, including that no usb port can provide more than 500mA (which is nonsense).
^^ Just a heads up

My HTC Desire knows if it is connected to a standard USB port or its mains charger, and pulls 500 or 1000mA.
Typically, 'proper' USB host found or no input on the data pins means only draw 500mA.
If the two data pins are bridged or both tied to ground (can't remember which) then it tries for 1000mA.
iirc iPhones refuse to charge at all if they don't detect the second, even if only drawing 500mA.
A charger delivering >=1A would be much more useful for charging other things too, PSPs for instance, mine will only charge when supplied with 500mA, and that takes 5-6 hours to get to 100%.
DX have a 1A unit for $2.58 (~£1.67).
£1 at poundland ... has 2 usb sockets as well...
100pence at £land. This deal is 50% more, voting cold!

Do you have a link for this charger - I have a desire also and find the gps uses the battery quicker than the thing can get charged. Also is there an app that tells you how much the device is pulling in or charger is sending out?
