Belkin has announced its new Micro Auto Charger and Dual Auto Charger for iPod and iPhone. Users can acquire the products to charge their device's battery in their car, while adding no extra bulk to the dashboard of their vehicle, thanks to its compact design.

“Sitting nearly flush with your dashboard, the Micro Auto Charger still allows room on its lip for you to easily detach it from your dashboard,” Belkin says. “It also charges at 1 amp — ideal for iPhone devices and certain GPS systems in that it will charge at the device’s fullest power,” the company explains.

Also noted by Belkin is that the Dual Auto Charger lets you charge your iPod through one port and your cell phone in the other, simultaneously. Moreover, one quick-charge port powers at 1 amp for your iPhone, while the second port charges at 500 milliamps, supporting iPods and even other cell phones such as BlackBerry phones.
