Fab but should come with the iPod by default

Written by SJ from Malton

This was the first accessory I ever bought for my iPod (4th Gen Nano). Just the thought of having to turn on my laptop with it's super slow start-up just to recharge my iPod stressed me out!

The power adaptor plugs straight into the mains power (3 pin plug) and connects to the same USB cable that came with your iPod. It comes with an additional cable which is great to have a spare.

I've found recharging with this adaptor is actually quicker than recharging through the USB port on the computer. It's also great to keep your iPod fully charged if you're using it connected to an external sound system or the TV.

Others have complained of their connections being loose, but mine fit snuggly with no worry of them falling out and the adaptor is robustly made.

I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the price. I feel, like others, this should come bundled with any iPod over £100 by defualt. It makes sense as there may not be a comuter to use to charge with, whereas this can be used at home, at work, at your friends house, hotel room, etc.

clunky and expensive

Written by RJ from London

The compact profile of the adaptor would be welcome - but is sacrificed when connected into a three pin UK plug - and some of the other larger world formats. The result is a clunky and awkward item. It works well though. But rather expensive.

Make Life Easy

Got one so I could charge my ipod anywhere,and it does mean I have not got to mess around plugging into my Pc,so it does make life easy.
Two points, it should come with the ipod as standard, and £19 is OTT.

Essential Adapter

This adapter should have been included with the iPod Touch and the cable could be a lot longer.

This adapter is essential if your away from a usb power capable device or you are tired of 'booting up' just to charge your iPod Touch.

Overall good solid construction and easy to use.

Who knows what GB means!

Written by SG from UTTOXETER

With regards to the previous review by GB - I haven't got a clue what they are on about. The product works fine with UK power sockets as the adaptor and plug clip securely together and cannot be separated without force - it's very similar to the power brick for the MacBook and iBook range.

The £19 is steep, especially as iPods previous to the 5th gen included one.
