Necessaire but expensive at $29
Buy this so you can re-energize your ipod with your electrical outlet instead of going through your computer.
ipod charger
this thing is pretty neat. it works really well, and i especially like how the prongs on the plug can bend in and out of the way for easy packing/storing.
A MUST for your iPod
Without question, this should be included in the purchase of an iPod. I think it's a disgrace that it isn't, but having said that -- by all means, get this power adapter unless you want to carry your laptop with you every time you travel. It's small, compact, and totally efficient. Fits into a small corner of your bag or purse, and you can charge your iPod wherever there's power.
good product
My daughter enjoyed this product during a trip in Japan. It is easy to use and a compact!
Good product but crappy overall, Apple
My AC adapter burned out after 3 years. When I first got my ipod mini, it wasn't even USB compatible and shipped with a firewire cable. now I need a USB cable to connect this charger to my ipod. This thing was thirty bucks, and the usb/firewire cable i had to get to use this new charger was another thirty. i have to use the same cable between my computer and this ac adapter, which is inconvenient. money hungry apple, not cool.
