iPod Shuffle Accessories *COMPATABLE* With Fourth Gen...

[Tomo_kun]

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but, I would like to know how well the USB wall charger works with the FourthGen iPod (Its half the price of the firewire one) and how well the iPod Shuffle battery pack works with the fourth gen iPod.

If anyone can run some tests, that would be great.

you can use usb wall charger with your 4G ipod, too.

it's compatible with ipod shuffle, ipod mini, ipod photo, and ipod with click wheel.

I just bought it yesterday.

battery pack can keep ipod shuffle 20 hours continous play.

the usb and firewire chargers look to be the same price to me

[superlyduper]

wonder which is faster.. has anybody done tests yet?

its interesting that the regular ipods can charge from 12V (firewire) and 5V(USB). i woulder if the ipod flash can charge from 5V(USB) or 3V(2 x AAA battery pack) it would be awesome if it could charge from 3V without having to step up to 5V

Can you give me a direct link to this? Preferably a Canadian store such as future shop...It links directly to the iPod shuffle and into the wall outlet? Such as like...A cell phone charger or something?

it's now sold in Target.com, bestbuy.com, or apple retail store, curcuitcity.

I have usb wall charger. but I'm not sure that it works with cell phone or not. adapter is 50-60hz, output 5V, 1.0A.

but as far as I know, cellphone could be worked. you need to check.

I was just wondering if it was LIKE a cellphone charger. Lol...Anyways umm...Do you know the name of the charger? I just need it so that I can get it from future shop...I'm canadian.

[zip22]

i couldnt find one at future shop, but i posted a link to another canadian retailer who sells a USB charger that will work.

if futureshop sells the official apple ipod accesories, it will just be called a shuffle charger or the apple ipod USB charger.

[Chien]

It says a USB cable...Is there any difference between that and a USB plug? I'm a newb :D

[zip22]

what?

that charger supplies the exact voltage and current of any usb plug on your computer. you can plug the shuffle right into that usb plug on the bottom of it.

it is the same thing as the apple USB charger.

[Chien]

Alright...And you said you were able to find one at Best Buy. Could you provide me with a link to the product?

[zip22]

i didnt say they were at best buy.

right now, i cant find them on the best buy website.

someone else said they would have them (the official apple usb charger) but i dont know. best buy does not have the other generic usb wall charger i linked to.
