A great little gadget :-)
(5 out of 5) by Chris on Aug 24, 2008 (United Kingdom)This clever little device comes with a whole host of adaptors to fit most phones and iPod's.
One of the adapters is a mini USB (presumably for Motorola phones) which also fits my SatNav.
From one AA NIMH battery I'm able to recharge my SatNav from completely flat to 50% full.
I also use it for our Sony Ericsson K850i, K800i & K810i mobile phones with great results.
With a little ingenuity I've even used it to charge a Sansa E280 MP3 player (WARNING - don't use the included iPod connector, this will damage your Sansa).
It's so useful I keep it in my rucksack all the time.
Using high capacity NIMH AA batteries produces the best results.
Others comments posted about this device are a little unfair, be realistic you can't expect a full charge from one small AA battery.
It's designed for emergencies and it does it well.

Thumbs down
(2 out of 5) by Simon Butler on Nov 9, 2007I ordered this for my daughter's school trip.
The photo clearly shows an ipod connector.
I wonder if I was sent the wrong model as there's no ipod connector in mine.
TTJ now sending ipod connector separately.
Looks like supplier has changed since then!?

Works occasionally
(2 out of 5) by Jess Organ on Mar 4, 2008 (Uk)I got this to use with my ipod as i was going to be on a long flight and wanted music throughout. I cannot get it to work with the ipod although after some persuasion I got it to charge my phone (motorola). Great if you only need a phone charger but seemingly no good for anything else
Good Gadget
(4 out of 5) by M. Stevens on Sep 16, 2009 (Westo's Are Besto's)Bought this for my daughter who's Motorola screen saver drains her mobile battery continually, at least she can phone for a lift home now!!!
