In these kinds of devices, have auto-shutdown on over current.

Must be these bargain basement HDTV setups must be missing that feature.

I just went out and looked at my HDTV... mine says a maximum or 500ma as well.

The stuff I've looked at all say they can run on 500ma easily... I mean its just a friggin Android device without the phone parts. How the heck does one of those Phone work for more than 10 minutes if they need 500ma let alone 2A...

I dunno. Stupidity abounds IMO...

Like I said before, my Galaxy has a "2A" power supply... but the phone can easily be charged by my USB ports on my laptop or other USB ports. Plus, using 2A over the size of that wire... not likely.
