Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple FireWire Power Adapter for iPod (White)
Customer Review: Very Convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this power adapter for a couple reasons, but mostly so I can travel with my iPod without toting around my laptop in order to charge it. I also thought it be a good idea to have handy in general.
What I like about it most is that it is small and the prongs retract inside which is a nice feature. I just use the firewire that came with my iPods to connect it. It really seems to charge the iPod MUCH faster than using the computer. I actually use this much more often than my computer. I only hook it up to my computer in order to update playlists and songs, never to charge it anymore.
My only two complaints are that sometimes the firewire is difficult to pull out of the adapter. It kind of sticks occasionally. This is just a minor complaint and does not detract from its overall usefulness and durability. The other complaint is that it is a bit pricey for what it is. Overall, though it still deserves five stars because it works very well and is small and compact.
Customer Review: The Power of Charging
Summary: 5 Stars
This charger is designed for every iPod EXCEPT the Shuffle. The Shuffle connects via USB, this charger uses FireWire.
Every iPod charges while connected to a computer via FireWire or USB 2.0, but this charger allows you to charge your iPod in a wall outlet. In addition to the charger you will need a connector cable. You can use the one that came with your iPod or buy a second one. Hook 'em up, plug it in the wall and get on with more important things while your iPod charges.
For international travelers, the plug pops off and you can purchase the correct plug for the country you will be visiting. Great feature!
I have an iPod Dock connected to my stereo and use an extra connection cable along with this plug to ensure that my iPod doesn't run of of juice durring parites and long playing sessions. I highly recommend the Power Adapter to iPod users who want the flexability to use their iPod on the road or in conjunction with a stereo.
Customer Review: Simplicity redefined - for older iPods
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great charger when you're travelling. Just pack and go. It doesn't have any wires so you don't have to worry about knotted cords. However, you'll need to pack in a firewire cable (which came with your iPod) so that this will charge the iPod.
Keep in mind that this is the Firewire version, which supports all iPods up until last year. Therefore, you can charge iPod Touch 2G and 3G, nano 4G and iPhone 3G/3GS. Why? Because Apple dropped the pins from the dock adapter that recognizes firewire. If you have any of the new devices, you'll need to get the USB adapter.
I use this infrequently now as I have multitude of docks. However, when I travel, I take this beauty. It comes with 3 prong adapters so it can work in other countries that don't use 2 rectangle prongs.
Customer Review: Good to have if you want to charge w/o your pc
Summary: 4 Stars
When I travel I always take my I-Pod but I don't always want to take my pc. This charger is great for those times - but be aware you will also need to purchase a firewire cable to connect your I-Pod to the charger (the cable that comes with the IPod to hook to your pc does not work with this charger). Charger and cable are small and easy to carry. Just plug it into any outlet and it will charge your I-Pod. When first gen I-Pods came out, these chargers came FREE with them but I guess they figured they could make more $$$ selling them as a stand alone item.Customer Review: Had some technical difficutly but was solved by the seller
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this product sent twice because the first one doesn't work the the second they sent me worked. The seller did a good job in communicating with you if you have any issue with the product. This is what I call GREAT internet business and costumer service. Works great with charging my ipod.
