Be careful

(2 out of 5) by Ewan Buckingham on Apr 20, 2006
This is being sold as compatible with all iPods, but the packaging states that it doesn't work with G3 ipods. If you've got an older unit it won't be able to charge it - in fact, if crashes it if you try.

Must have for holidays

(5 out of 5) by Maria Sullivan on Mar 22, 2006 (South Yorkshire,UK)
We bought one of these before going to egypt in november and it was a lifesaver.
Best part about it is that you only take the adapter that's reqired for the trip not the full package and it's easily stored and keeps you connected to your music for the whole of the holiday.
Would recommend this product to any i pod owner.

Definitely be wary

(1 out of 5) by John Symons on May 5, 2006 (UK)
This product does not work on G3 models. Worse still it looks like it will and then drains your battery totally. It also managed to drain the battery of my brand new 60G ipod in the Uk although worked in the US and UK on a nano. Too risky in my opinion.

Not bad, value for money but not stunning

(3 out of 5) by Tim Bentley on Jun 19, 2006 (Shetland, UK)
I bought this item to give my PC a bit of a rest - translation: got tired of partner plugging her iPod into my PC to charge it. I chose GEAR4 as I'd already purchased a GEAR4 case for an iPod Nano and was very happy with the product. The charger basically does what it says on the packaging, but it just feels a little cheap. The item works first and foremost, but it isn't as slick as it could be and the cables could do with being either a little shorter or retractable.

If you just want to charge up your iPod then this gadget does the job at a reasonable price, especially as Amazon provided the GEAR4 car charger free with this purchase as a special offer at the time I ordered this.
