5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive alternative to the Apple USB Wall charger, May 30, 2005

By	Gerard (California, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought the Zip-Linq AC Wall Plug usb adapter as an inexpensive alternative to the official Apple charger. It charges my iPod 6GB mini without any problems and it doesn't put a dent in your wallet. This charger can also be used to charge other devices such as a cell phone if you have a usb cable for that.

Edit 1/12/2006:

I have upgraded to a Black 4GB iPod Nano and it does charge it without any problems.

Edit 7/29/2006:

It charges my Samsung A920 cellphone along with the Samsung charging usb cable plugged into the zip-linq ac adapter.

Edit 9/29/2008:

This won't charge either my 4th Gen iPod Nano or my Samsung Smartphone. I guess it won't work with some of the newer generation electronics.

3.0 out of 5 stars works, but takes forever to charge, August 20, 2006

By	J. Su (Milpitas, Ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this so I could charge my creative zen microphoto, because the wall charger for that was too expensive, and I figured I might as well buy an adapter that charges any item with a usb port. This is dirt cheap, but it takes a couple of days to fully charge my zen, when it is supposed to be ready to go within 5 hours. Im not complaining too much as it is so cheap, and it at least works.
**UPDATE** Nevermind, i would give this a 1 out of 5 stars, b/c this piece of junk just stopped working. When I first got it worked alright, just took forever to charge, but now it doesn't even do that. My zen will says its charging, and when I unplug it the meter is empty. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with Creative Labs Zen Micro Photo, July 26, 2006

By	C. Grindland (NW Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Do not waste your money, this was under recommendations, but I would NOT recommend this with your Creative Zen.
My daughter purchased this after saving up for an MP3 player, this just does not seem to give enough power, we plug it in and 12 hours later it is still charging. Plug the MP3 into the computer USB and it is done in less than 2 hours.
It may work fine for some other things but not the Creative Zen. It would cost more to return and they will only exchange it, so guess we are just eating the cost and S & H. I should have read the reviews before; would have seen that you get what you pay for, don't waste your money.
