Ipod and accessory power help

OK I've got the ipod and bought a car charger FM transmitter. Now I have all these devices that need USB power. I'm OK in the car, mobil, and even at my computer but I don't want to drag around a PC just to provide USB parasitic power. Is there a device that plug into the wall and has two female USB power ports to power all this stuff.

Apple makes a USB power adapter:

which used to come standard with iPods but is now an extra cost accessory.

An alternative is a cheap powered USB hub like this:

which will supply power to any device connected to it. Not as elegant as the Apple product, but cheaper and more practical.
