Where can I get an iPhone charger quickly near Oakland

July 30, 2010 10:35 AM

If I'm in downtown Oakland, CA, where's the closest store where I can buy a car charger and a dash/windshield mount for an iPhone?

I'd like to get these items before I leave for a trip a little later today. Ideally a store between here and Oakland airport.

If all else fails: it's exactly 15 minutes on BART from Oakland City Center to the downtown SF Apple Store. The northeast Powell St pedestrian exit puts you just steps from the Apple storefront. Fast, easy, no fuss, no traffic.

Emeryville mall has an an Apple store. It's not exactly on the way to anywhere, but it's right on 80, so it could be worse. You can take 40th to the mall, just to give you an idea of where it is.

I'm a little unclear as to whether you are actually going to be at the airport, but there is a TechShowcase in terminal 2 that sells these types of wares.

Apologies if you are not going to the airport and this doesn't answer your question.

The Oakland airport has a technology store that probably has what you need. Turn left after going through security near the Southwest gates.
