This product is NOT as it is described. Although the listing says it works with all iPods through 6G, Touch, Nano, etc. this is not true. The product ONLY works with old-style iPods which (a) use a docking connector and (b) use the FIREWIRE interface - NOT USB. All iPods sold for many years use USB, and are thus not compatible. I have called Belkin support and they confirmed this. I am now trying to return the product.

Product failed to work on the latest iPod; not compatible. Too much of a hassle to send it back; just tossed it. Belkin used to have a good rep; shame they're destroying their own company with products like this. (Or, guys, label the product more clearly)
So I just purchased the reader to take on a trip figured it would be nice to have. Well not so nice if you have the ipod video because it's not compatible so just a heads up if you are going to buy this item.
"Does not work with 5G IPOD"

I bought a Video IPOD 60gb and when I connected the Belkin Media Reader to it an error message popped up and said that the device currently connected is NOT compatable with this IPOD. So, I guess it is for OLDER IPODs (3G) only.
I bought this unit for use with my 3G 15GB iPod. While it did work to transfer my SmartMedia cards, there are some major caveats for potential buyers. #1 - the battery life of the Belkin unit is low, download three session of a day or two of pictures (200 - 1MB files) and the batteries are dead, #2 - the transfer times are painfully slow ... that 200 files transfer took 20 minutes and that's without a clear indication about the progress or status, except the flickering light, and worst of all #3 - the connecting cable was subject to being jostled and losing connection, which resulted in corrupted files on the iPod (not fatal). The only way, I could get the unit to work prperly was to place it on a rock-stready hostel table and leave it alone. When I used it on a BritRail train table, the transfer was disrupted by slight jostles. And once when I had to try and pack up the unit in the middle of a transfer (emergency Underground stop) trying to maintain the connection while holding it was impossible.
