I have the same iGO. Have used it without problem with my freerunner for a
long while

A general question related to car charging. I have an iGo charger and many
tips. One is a mini-usb tip. It seems to be charging my Neo okay.  
Is there an reason I shouldn't use this device? There is also an iGo car
charger that accepts the same tips. I'm not trying to push the brand here,
just wanting to know if this is an alternative charging mechanism and
whether it is safe.
