So who sells Skypower adapters? US has gone through the step of having it installed in the A319s/320s but I can't find any reference as to who actually sells the adapters?
It's apparently some German product and some supplier to Airbuses. Trust them to go with a non-standard.

Definitely not like emPower which I have used on CP's 767s (they even carry a selection of adapters for pax to use).
The SkyPower jacks in the A319/20s look like DIN sockets (e.g., plugs like old PC keyboard, old reel-to-reel tape recorder connectors) rather than the cigarette-lighter plug of emPower.

I've successfully used my "Car/Air Adapter" for my Thinkpad 600 on an A319. It's co-branded by Port and EmPower. The phone number on it is 1-800-350-PORT. The model number is 9000283, revision B. The adapter comes with the car lighter adapter installed, which pops off to reveal the 4-pronged adapter which fits the A319 jack.
