Simultaneously Charge iPods and Other Mini-USB Devices
The Dual Charger with USB and Swivel-Plug AC Charger essentially does the job of two chargers. You can charge your iPod or iPhone using the included USB-to-dock connector, and charge another mini-USB-powered device with the included USB-to-mini-USB cable.

Rotating Prongs Fit Easily into Most Outlets
The compact Dual Charger fits into almost all outlets, thanks to the handy, 90-degree rotating adapter prongs. With its versatile positioning, the charger can even utilize outlets that are already crowded with plugs, giving you more charging options for your devices.

Connect Multiple Devices, Including BlackBerry and Motorola
To charge multiple devices, simply use the four-foot charge-and-sync cable for iPhone and iPod, the four-foot USB-to-mini-USB cable for mini-USB-powered devices, or the USB-to-3.5mm cable for your iPod shuffle. All the cables are included.

Compatible with Most iPods
The Dual Charger with USB and Swivel-Plug is compatible with iPod shuffle, second generation, 1GB; iPhone 4GB and 8GB; iPod touch; iPod nano, third generation (video), 4GB and 8GB; and iPod classic 80GB and 160GB.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it's supposed to do - charge, January 22, 2009

First off, I bought this strictly as a charger. The Amazon listing does not say "sync" anywhere, so I would not expect it. In that regard, it is a very nice charger. The device is well made, has a nice finish, and the cable is rugged. The prongs for the plug fold for travel use, and swivel for turning the charger 90 degrees if access to the outlet requires it. Some chargers are not accepted by the iPhone 3G, but this one works with mine without any issue. This is an excellent charger.

But what I don't understand is why others have not been able to use this as a sync cable to their computer. I use it routinely for my iPhone 3G, which is known to be finicky about sync cables, and it syncs fine. I have also used it to sync with an iPod Touch. I'm not sure why others can't use it. But for me, this was a great product at a good value even if I used it solely as a charger.

I bought this product to charge my iPod Touch 2G and my Motorola RAZR phone and it works on both. I sometimes need to wiggle the USB connectors in the adaptor, but overall the product works well. It comes with iPod and mini-USB charge cables and will only work with the cables provided. Price is reasonable considering what Apple wants for a similar device. The plug blades fold down flush for packing and the blades also rotate for use in crowded outlets or power strips.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a cat and he chewed my original iPod cable so I needed a new one but Apple is a little pricey with its accessories. I found this on Amazon, read the reviews and liked the price, so I bought it. Perfect. Some reviewers complained that it doesn't synch iPod devices. There are three cables that came with this, they are all labelled with what they do. The first cable only charges your shuffle. Period. The second will charge and synch your iPhone or iPod Touch and the third can be used to charge PS3 controllers and other devices with a small USB linkage. The plug folds flat so it is easy to carry in a bag or pocket. All in all this is a great product that does what it says it will do.
