 Great companion for your iPod Shuffle March 19, 2005

This is an excellent way to recharge your Shuffle away from the computer in a hassle free manner. Just plug it into the wall and you are done, no wires. The plug also folds in for easy storage, just like any other Apple or Canon Elph charger.
Say you ran out charge in the gym or in a non-tech-savvy friend's house, just pull this out of your bag and ready to go in a few minutes!
It can also be used to charge any other device which has a USB recharging capability. I have tested in on Palmone's Zire PDA so far and it works great. I am already looking for a USB cable for my Sony Ericsson phone. A possible to solution to mutiple chargers on your next trip.
Maybe a little bit overpriced but it still is affordably priced. Nice addition to your iPod Shuffle!
Charges my Nano Just Fine! October 26, 2005

I use this to charge my Apple Nano Ipod.
There's no problems using it.
The nano seems to charge quickly using this adapter!
There's nothing else to buy, just plug in the usb 2 cable that comes with the nano into this and the other end of the cable into the nano, and then the adapter into your electrical outlet.
I think it is a shame the Nano does not come with this included!
Anyway, this seems to be a very good charging adapter. It's just way too pricey -- even for the high-quality construction of it.
 Because it's white? October 10, 2005

Almost all the reviews concertrated on how useful this thing is - no question about that. I give it one star becuse you can buy similar products for up to 1/6 the price.
iPod is near useless without it. Holiday makers need it! October 5, 2005

APPLE REALLY SHOULD BE SHIPPING THIS ADAPTOR WITH THE IPOD. THE IPOD CAN NOT BE CHARGED FROM A POWER MAINS WITHOUT IT! iPod is designed to go places. However it is only designed to live if it has a computer with a USB interface that it can recharge from. For this reason you need to own a computer if you want to use your iPod or there needs to be a computer at your destination. This is the one major flaw with the iPod that can only be overcome with this device - a very simple, albeit very expensive, USB to mains adaptor. This means you can recharge your iPod at any point that has a power mains, so you can in theory charge it anywhere, however you will need to find another adaptor if the mains standard changes but this is just the case of finding a local power adaptor from an electrical store which costs next to nothing when compared to this USB to mains which is a unique and rare adaptor and is not something I would count on the local tourist destination to have in stock. So if you want to take your iPod abroad, get this. If you really want to go all kitted out for the most extreme then you can consider the "World Travel Kit" that has six variations in the actual mains adaptor, but you still need this USB adaptor item if you get the World Travel Kit because it is the main USB connection that the World Travel Kit does not come with. The USB adaptor has a slot to change these mains. It comes with one mains connection depending on where you buy the adaptor (it ships with the local standard). It slips in and out easily enough. The USB connection is a little stiff and requires a good push or pull to get it in or out. To be honest I would not bother with the World Travel Kit and just find a local supplier who can find a mains adaptor that fits onto your USB mains adaptor type. It will probably be cheaper because Apple charge another $40 for the World Travel Kit. So it costs $70 for the USB to Mains and World Travel Kit in total. Those prices are almost criminal. I can understand paying for the World Travel Kit, maybe, but the fact that this needed adaptor is not with the iPod when you buy it just goes to show that Apple is still notoriously bad at providing customers with a full product. Discovering that you need a component is not funny. Lots of people get their MP3 players loaded up using another person's computer and library. The iPod is absolutely useless for these people unless they have this adaptor. Five star product though. It looks good and works. Has a nice mains changeable feature for those who want to go with the World Travel Kit. APPLE really need to advertise the fact that the iPod has NO MAINS CONNECTION.

Don't let apple continue ripping you off, don't buy their products. Search for other USP power adaptors. Search under "iPod USB travel adapter. Apple doesn't have a right to rip you off after you paid hundreds of dollars for your iPod.
