I purchased this item as used.
It was received within three days, even though I did not request expediting. Unit is simple, functional, and works well for charging both my apple and dell mp3-units. |

| I paid less than this elsewhere but it's the same item. I use it to charge my iPod Touch and it hardly works. First off, you need to leave the iPod unlocked for it to work. Secondly, it won't give it a very good charge. If you let it go overnight, the battery meter will be full and then as soon as you disconnect it to use it, it very quickly drains down to 1/4, or sometimes less. Now I need to find something that actually works. Suggestions would be appreciated. |

| I find myself traveling a lot, and I hated killing my ipod shuffle's battery while doing so and ending up in silence for the last leg of my trips. I bought this and it has turned out to be a wonderful investment. I highly recommend buying this if you travel. My only fear is that its easy to forget this little thing; so maybe consider putting some bright colored duct tape on it so it will stand out in the hotel room. I hate to sound like a broken record, but I just want to say once more that this is ideal for travel. The prongs (for the electrical socket) fold into the device so it fits nicely in a purse, large jacket pocket, or suitcase. |

| Yes..Apple should have put this in the box. However that dosen't change the fact that the item works. It charges all ipods. It will charge first generation shuffles with out a cord. All other ipods need some sort of cord to connect to this USB adapter. Don't put your high priced ipod at risk. There is plenty of usb chargers out there and you could find a bunch for .99 on ebay right now but do you want to take a chance that number one it may not work and number two it may damage your ipod. Grit your teeth, do your home work and get an apple adapter. It is worth it in the long run. |

 "Apple's full price" | 2007-04-12 |

| What can I say? It is just an iPod charger that should have come with the iPod to begin with. I got it on bargain price so there's no complaint. Don't pay Apple's full price just for the logo. There're a lot of others available and are equally good. I suggest you visit your local electronic store to see what's there. Only thing I like about it is that it is retractable so it doesn't punch holes in my bags when I carry it. |

| I concur that this is NOT for the 3G. Apple's description of their products sucks. Moreover, their tech people are just as bad. I went to the Apple store and mentioned to the tech person that my 3G only works with firewire power adapters (not usb adapters). He insisted this would work. Sure enough, it does not work. Note that I did not buy this on Amazon, but in trying to figure out what was wrong, I googled and found reviews about this product here which confirm that this product is not for 3G ipods. |

Yes, Apple should include this thing -- with the higher end iPods, at least. But they don't.
The point of this post is to remind prospective USB-Power-Adapter buyers this: with electronics, you tend to get what you pay for.
So, you're tempted by those three-dollar, off-brand USB adapters? Stay away from them. You have, probably, a couple hundred bucks tied up in your iPod(s); it doesn't make sense to cheap-out now and take a risk with shoddy, fly-by-night electronics for your iPod....the same iPod that you scrupulously protect from scratches and such. Apple designed their USB Power Adapter to work with their iPods. And they do work. Very well.
Shame on Apple for fleecing us, though. But, shame on you if you damage the electronics of your iPod by using some third-rate, flea market power adapter.
Just buy Apple's. |
