Whether you are a sales professional going out to close a deal or you are an executive heading to an important board meeting, there is a good chance that you may be spending a lot of time on the road. When you are behind the steering wheel, you want to keep focused on the road, but you also want to be as connected to the world as possible, especially if you have other associates in the car.

There are other power inverters available on the market that can convert your standard 12V DC outlet (the cigarette jack) in the car into a usable AC outlet for regular chargers and power supplies, but very few are quite as creative as this coffee cup power inverter from ThinkGeek. One end of the cable plugs into the cigarette jack as normal, but the top of this faux coffee cup actually provides a pair of regular wall outlet-style jacks, as well as a powered USB port.

This means that you can charge your iPhone while on the road, as well as provide power to a notebook computer or any number of other gadgets that you may have in your car at the time. This is much more seamless than many of the more industrial-looking alternatives on the market and it is just as effective.
