Doesn't work with 2nd gen Nano [Posted on 2008-06-22]
I debated a few days whether I should get it for my 2nd generation iPod Nano, but decided to go ahead and buy it since the price was much cheaper compared to other options. Sadly, this charger does not appear to work for my Nano (tried it both in the United States and Europe). It makes my Nano screen flicker and changes the tone of colors on the screen. It didn't destroy the iPod by just trying it, but I was too afraid to leave it charging for an extended period of time since the iPod started getting too warm and the screen was still flickering.
The charger I received is slightly different from the one pictured. It is possible that some of these chargers work with 2nd gen nano and others don't.
First charger faulty, second worked [Posted on 2008-07-12]
Although the first charger I received didn't work, when I contacted the seller (SPplanet) they quickly sent a replacement that has been working fine. For the the price I don't think I can really complain.
Just make sure whatever company you're buying from has a good replacement policy and you'll end up saving yourself a bundle.
Cheaply made, cheaply priced [Posted on 2008-07-28]
This item is very cheap, and that is why I purchased it. But after several uses, the contact prongs pulled out and got stuck in the electrical outlet. So, I purchased a replacement. Guess what? Same result. The old saying, you get what you pay for, reigns true here. I recommend ordering a better, more expensive model. Or, order a handful of these because they break so often.
Beats Apple's price without sacrificing quality! [Posted on 2008-09-05]
I bought this charger for my 3rd generation iPod nano. After reading the reviews I was a little scared that it would somehow ruin my expensive gadget. I plugged it in and when it didn't explode, I let out a sigh of relief and let it charge. It seemed to go quicker than when I use my computer for charging (about 2hrs I think). You can continue using the iPod while it is charging, no problems. This product DOES work well, it will NOT ruin your iPod. Another thing I want to address is the concern of some reviewers that there is no indicator light that signifies a full battery. Your iPod display will show a full battery when it is full, so that shouldn't be an issue. Don't pay $30 for something you can get for less than $5 (including shipping I paid $4.33). Although it is very irritating that Apple charges $150+ for these iPods and then tax you even more for the stupid wall charger.
caution buyers [Posted on 2008-09-26]
This charger fried 2 mp3 players, both less than 4 weeks old. A new Ipod touch stopped powering up after the first charge using this item. A cheaper mp3 player died after about a week of use. It worked for a few charges, then after plugging it in one day, I noticed the charging light on the player did not come on and it was extremely hot.
