Nintendo DS and DS Lite Adapters - Eight Gadgets for Travel

Since writing about our family's Nintendo DS adapter experience where we discovered that a Nintendo DS requires a transformer in addition to an adapter in a May blog entry, I have found 8 more gadgets to solve similar electronics problems. Some are for a DS and some for a DS Lite. I don't know enough about the circuitry differences between the two devices to explain - if you do, please help by leaving a comment below. I'm not much of a gadget-gal, as my kids will attest (my son has to help me use the speed dial on my cell phone), but these are simple enough even for me - mainly they just plug in:
