Yes, you can leave the charger plugged into the wall. It probably won't make much difference in the life span of the charger.

Just make sure that it's not covered somehow so that it gets too warm.

I hope it's alright. I've done it for the last 9 months while owning my iPod.

So the consensus is that there is no harm to the charger if I leave it plugged into my wall and dock?

Has anyone from Apple confirmed this?

Mine doesn't get warm so I figured it would be ok.

Now, my laptop charger gets hot as hell..... I don't leave it in the wall.
