Hope your sparq2 works.

I just got the Sparq 2 in the mail today.
Yes, it does work - charging both my iPad and iPhone at the same time.
It works GREAT!!! Best $55 spent in a long while.

I'm gonna do some tests on how much slower it will be to charge the iPad with both the iPad and iPhone plugged in.

Let me know if you wanna see pix.
 
emagine thx for sharing, IMO pics aren't necessary but what about charge
times? A depleted iPad battery charge by itself & then another w/ your phone at the
same time. Did I cover the bases folks?

i'm doing the "charge 9 hours before initial use" thingy...
So I'm depleting my iPad and iPhone batteries right now.
Tonight when the 9 hours is complete i'll do a test on how long it takes to charge an iPad from empty to full with both USB's plugged in.
 
Looking forward to it, thx again for your time/effort with this.

Mine has a Fr/Sat ETA so it will be good to have your input first.

Just to give you a heads up, Zagg does not guarantee charging both the iPad and another device at the same time.

This is from the instruction card:

"The ZAGGsparq can charge two devices simultaneously. However, when charging a large, power hungry device, such as the Apple iPad, you may not be able to use both USB ports at the same time. If you connect another device when charging a power hungry device, the ZAGGsparq may discontinue charging both devices. If this occurs, simply disconnect one of the devices."

- this is ok by me. i usually charge my iphone with its own power supply.
 
I have this one for my car and it works perfectly. You can find it at usbfever.com. I have had my iPad, iPhone, and two DS's connected all at the same time and all charged. It was a little slower than plugged in by itself in the wall, but it worked.

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered one. I was a little put off by not knowing the company or its reputation, but I take your experience at getting what you ordered as positive. How long did it take to arrive?

Around two weeks. That was the only down side. It ships from Hong Kong.

It takes about 2.5 hours to charge the iPad from empty to 50% on Spark's battery (not plugged in).
 
For you guys who mention getting the Zagg coupon is it specifically for this promotion "Win an Apple iPad and a chance at a 50% off discount code"?

I signed up both of my workstations at work to different email addresses, roughly an hour ago. Still haven't received anything.
