On a non-technical note, Apple chargers should lose simply because of how goddamned large they are. They basically eat two spots on a power strip and are easily knocked out of wall sockets because of their weight.
I bought up a half dozen Touchpad chargers when they were being cleared out for $5 a piece. I did it mainly because they were the cheapest 2A adapters that work with anything I'd come across, but it's good to know they're efficient and well-built as well.
It'd be nice to see an even broader test
Very interesting review, I enjoyed the dissection and review of what most people don't even think about (wall chargers).

Is it dangerous to use a high output power charger, like the HP TouchPad one, with a low consumption device, like a phone?

One thing that always annoys me when Apple products take over the world is how they are limited to American constraints. Sony Ericsson made a brilliant charger that plugged into the wall and you could just stand your phone onto. Apple would never think of that since the American plug standard is too weak to carry the same weight a Schuko can. And now everyone has to copy Apple instead of innovating...

Yeah, I don't understand why Apple does that. I've never used another laptop brand with the power brick on the plug.

They all come with an extension cable if you don't want that.
