5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Charging, August 11, 2005

This charger is designed for every iPod EXCEPT the Shuffle. The Shuffle connects via USB, this charger uses FireWire.

Every iPod charges while connected to a computer via FireWire or USB 2.0, but this charger allows you to charge your iPod in a wall outlet. In addition to the charger you will need a connector cable. You can use the one that came with your iPod or buy a second one. Hook 'em up, plug it in the wall and get on with more important things while your iPod charges.

For international travelers, the plug pops off and you can purchase the correct plug for the country you will be visiting. Great feature!

I have an iPod Dock connected to my stereo and use an extra connection cable along with this plug to ensure that my iPod doesn't run of of juice durring parites and long playing sessions. I highly recommend the Power Adapter to iPod users who want the flexability to use their iPod on the road or in conjunction with a stereo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Official APPLE brand, July 25, 2005

Although this charger is no doubt expensive, it is definitely worth it if you bought an iPod mini or an iPod shuffle that did not come with one. With this charger, you can now charge your iPod, or shuffle, without being near a computer.

The AC charger charges much faster than attaching the iPod to a computer via firewire or USB. To charge an iPod, all you have to do is plug your firewire cable to the charger, and then attach your iPod. With the shuffle, all you have to do is plug it in (no wires to mess around with).

For those who do not know, when you plug in the iPod to the adapter, you can listen to it without losing power. Great feature.

Another advantage of this charger is that if you happen to travel outside the US to other countries, you can buy an adapter pack which will enable you to plug this charger into foreign outlets.

There are third party chargers that are probably cheaper but not only will those void your warranty, but furthermore, they might even mess up your iPod/shuffle permanently.
