Will this work in Canada, and can I charge an iPad2 & iTouch4 at the same time?
I am travelling to Canada next month and wish to take my iPad2 & iTouch4 with me. Will this device charge both at the same time, and does it fit into a Canadian power socket (which is similar but not identical to the USA)?

Best Answer
US and Canadian power outlets are identical. There's no need for any special adapter. This particular device is meant to attach to a MacBook AC adapter to provide a single USB connection. What you are looking for is an AC adapter that has two USB inputs to charge an iPad and iPod Touch at the same time. Those can be easily found online cheaply.

Does it work with the new I phone 5

Answer
There would be no reason why it would not work with the new iPhone 5 "lightning cable". The new cable works on the same 5 volt signal as its predecessor (iPhone 4-4S). It still connects via universal serial bus or "USB" connector. I hope this helps clarify the question.

Just bought one and charged my iPad 2 from completely dead to 97% in four hours. Was using it with my MBP 65 W adapter.

From the FAQ on the Amazon.com product page:
Will PlugBug charge my iPod or other USB devices?
Yes. PlugBug will charge ‘any’ USB chargeable devices like bluetooth headsets, iPods, non-Apple smartphones, etc. Simply connect your USB charging cable to PlugBug and plug the charger into any wall outlet for a stand-alone charger, or snap PlugBug onto your MacBook Power Adapter for the ultimate "all-in-one" charger.- Answered by Beth M from Lakewood

PluBug with an Europe plug connection required?

Best Answer
Unfortunately yes if you are going to use it in Europe. The PlugBug part has the AC power prongs and they are configured for the US type. I guess you could just use a plug converter to change the plug config as the power supply will correctly convert it to the right voltage and frequency.
