5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for travel or just convenient home charging., November 14, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Apple USB Power Adapter for iPod (White) (Electronics)

I bought 2 of these, one here when I had a survey coupon which reduced the price by $10 and one on ebay for half of retail, and find that they are totally worth it!

First of all, the price is justified by the fact that you get another USB cord with it. At first I thought 'hey, what do I need another USB cord for?'...Well, it does come in handy because I just keep one of them hooked to my computer all the time and I take the other one with me for convenient, away from computer, charging. That way the one is always where I need it when I want to download more music and the other one is always ready for charging away from my computer.

I got a full charge in less than 2 hours with the adapter. I love the fold-away plug and it comes in a nice, tidy box that you can just keep the plug and the usb cord in so that everything is together and easy to find, or to pack in your travel bag.

This, along with a nice zcover skin, is a must-have accessory for your iPod!

4.0 out of 5 stars Convenient device? Yes. Overpriced? Hell yeah., December 4, 2006

This review is from: Apple USB Power Adapter for iPod (White) (Electronics)

Like most Ipod owners have already said, I agree that this device is both convenient and useful (hell, I own one)--but at an outrageous $30 for such a small piece of plastic it's almost not appealing enough to purchase. I only got it in the first place because I knew I wouldn't be toting around my Mac laptop on trips as much as I'd be taking the Ipod. Though it serves its purpose quite well, I also agree it should have been included with the Ipod purchase, or at least go down $15-20 on the price tag. $30 for such a trivial item is hardly necessary! To be honest, there are probably less expensive alternatives out there. Sorry, Apple.

This review is from: Apple USB Power Adapter for iPod (White) (Electronics)

Yes Apple is making money off this by having it be $30 but i have bought the other chargers and used them for testing at my college. I find out that the others are cheaper but you get what you paid for....cheap nockoffs that will fail to function in about 3 months on average.This charger hasnt failed yet and its been a year but the worst alternative charger is the one by Sonnet...do not buy this piece of junk! Just spend the extra $10 it is worth it trust me!
