Can you charge the Touch or other devices with the Vox charger?

So there's some special stuff, whatever that is, that lets the Vox know that the 2 amp USB wall charger is attached.

But can you use the Vox charger to charge the Kobo Touch or other devices? Obviously I'm reluctant to test this.

Edited: Added the word Kobo in front of Touch.

How would you do that? The touch doesn't connect with a micro-usb...

Yes it does. And I have used a very similar (same juice numbers) wall plug to charge mine.

There's an iTouch? Oh yeah, I guess there is.

The Vox charger works fine on my KT. It also works on the Verso rechargeable light.

Theoretically, since Micro USB is a standard, there shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work. The Vox charger is just capable of delivering more current if a device needs it. I did notice that the Vox charger doesn't trigger the Touch's USB detection (unlike another USB charger I have).
