Hmm, that one says it might need a hub too. I have a similar one, if not that one, and the Pi was freezy without a hub, when using the adapter.

I've used both of these without a hub without any problem. I use an old Samsung cell charger (I think 700ma). I don't generally have anything else drawing power from the USB port though.
