If I were you I wouldn't use such a thing unless they
guarantee they will replace your eMate if ever the
voltage gets higher than 7.5 Volt. Cheap unregulated
supplies can have a MUCH higher voltage than what they
are labeled with. Using such a beast is one of the
surest thing to kill a Newton or eMate.
