I notice it doesn't say what amperage it runs.
I've got one of these <http://www.carlingtech.com/controls-v-charger>
down below, it will charge at 3.1 amps and will charge my Sony tablet
with the GPS running, wi-fi and screen on. Waterproof enough for down
below, I took it apart to check the innards and they did conformal coat
the circuit board, so it gets the Graham seal of approval. More money
though, Digikey lists it for $60 CAD (which is what, like $30 USD???)...

+1 for "high power" usb charging ports (i.e. 2+amps@5v as mentioned)
+1 for Android Tablets. Can't beat the value IMO.

motorcycle usb charger at our helm. It's been working great for
3+years with the caveat, that we sail in fresh water. I attached it
to the underside of our teak drink holder (which slides onto the
stainless binnacle), so it is partially protected from rain, but
certainly not fully. I don't claim it to be the most bombproof
solution, but the price and convenience have been great and we have
another hard wired GPS at the helm and other charging options on
board.Exlight Add on Kit Waterproof Durable Double 5v USB Phone GPS
