I purchased this little charger, cause it's portable and works with all ipods with dock connector. We have two, and one is the new video ipod and the charger works great! Has led light to let you know it's on. Can pack it up and it takes no space at all.Glad I found it.
--I wondered why the same product kept coming up with different prices. Maybe because they want to hide poor reviews and keep starting fresh? The first time I plugged it into my iPod, for a few minutes the backlight of the iPod turned on, but not the text. Then the light went off and I was not able to get the iPod to respond again for two hours. It was dead. I made sure the lock switch was off, I tried to reset, I plugged it in using the Apple brand charger that has been working fine...but nothing worked. It was gone.
--Perhaps it was a coincidence that, despite the iPod working fine for two years (including a couple of hours on a flight just yesterday), the first time I plugged it in to charge with this product, it died. However, it also seems possible that this product provided the wrong electrical supply to the iPod and fried it, at least temporarily. I don't feel like trying it on other iPods to test this theory, though.
--I thought I was getting a good deal by buying this for 1 cent and paying $4.99 shipping and handling. Now I realize the ploy there is no reason to return it for a $0.01 refund, and shipping is not refunded.
--I urge people to avoid this product. This little charger works great. It is the second one of it's kind that I have purchased. The last one took a lot of abuse and therefore I needed to replace it. Would buy it again. Charges quickly and is quite handy. Product (charger for ipod) exactly as pictured, shipped quickly, was cheap but works excellently (even better than the plug in to the computer charger the ipod came with), you can actually use the ipod while it is charging. Would highly recommend, A+++++++ It took over three and half weeks to receive the product. I e-mailed the company to alert them to the fact that I hadn't received the charger. They responded in two days and let me know that it was sent to the wrong address and that they were sending another one. Great. I received the charger two days later. Even better. The first time I used the product, though, it broke. One of the prongs came off in the wall outlet. There is a reason these products are so cheap. Buyer beware.
