Power Charger Cable

Can you use a Zune/iPod AC wall charger to charge anything with a USB cable?

I am going to Europe and have the power adapter, I just need a simple way to charge both my Zune and iPod and digital camera. They all usually charge via USB from the computer, but I was wondering if I coudl use either the Zune or iPod AC wall charger to charge all three of these?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I too am traveling to Southern Europe in about 30 days.

I recently purchased a third-party power adapter, and it works fine for charging anything with the correct type of USB port built in. The type that Zune, iPod and most digital cameras use is USB A, or USB type A. That is the standard/normal, so any product advertising that it has a USB port in it should work just perfectly.

Make sure, though, that it has a power converter in it, too. Some people make the mistake of just buying miniature plugs with AC outlets in 1 side as the negative, and the foreign plug's positive on the other side. These are cheaper and much smaller, but they WILL destroy the device you are trying to use, because the frequency of electricity coming out of sockets in Australia, UK, EU and almost everywhere else is different from the United States, with about twice the voltage. Usually the ones that do convert power must use a transformer or converter of some type, to make the voltage less, and compatible with your device, so just make sure that everything works before heading overseas without the proper equiptment!
