5.0 out of 5 stars The A61 successfully charges the iPad! (unlike the new A133), November 22, 2010

This review is from: iGo Power Tip A61 6600661-04 - For select Apple iPod MP3 players (Personal Computers)

I just received an iPad and assumed my iGo charger would have no issues since I already have the A133 tip for my iPod Touch. Sadly when I plugged it into my iPad via USB and direct to the AC adapter I received the "Not charging" message. (Worth noting that it will charge SLOWLY if the iPad is in standby with the screen off.)

At first I was annoyed that I couldn't charge via USB but then a forum made me think differently. They asked if the reader would expect to charge their laptop from a USB cable rather than a normal AC adapter...valid point. Why, however, can't the iGo charge my iPad?

After some research I found some one claiming that the discontinued A61 tip would charge an iPad successfully. I just received my discontinued A61 tip and sure enough...it works!

I cannot find anywhere that tells the output of the two tips and the iGo website doesn't even mention having an iPad charger available...WTF?

The A61 is also charging my iPod Touch and if I had to guess it will charge faster because it has a higher output than the A133

Moral of the story is that for now it seems iGo is neglecting those of us with iPads (which have been out for a significant amount of time at this point) and you'll have to look for a seller on Amazon or elsewhere who still has some of the older A61 tips available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get a splitter, February 20, 2008

I like these tips, but if you're driving and using these igos, be sure to pull over when you change them. They can be tough to switch. Also, it's a good idea to get an igo splitter so you can listen to the ipod and charge your phone or use the gps, etc.

As for the person who claims this destroyed his ipod, my guess is that he ripped it out, but you need to be careful. I almost did this and wondered why it wouldn't release from the ipod. You have to squeeze the buttons on either side of the igo tip to remove it. This has no instructions, so I thought I'd fill you in on that info now.

I love the iGo system. It really works great.

This tip works great with my iPod classic, 1st generation iPhone ( before I sold it ) and now my current iPhone 3G wireless phone.

I use it with the iGo home wall charger, car charger, and battery quick charger. It is a good system.

Highly recommended !!!
