Connect 2nd generation iPod shuffle using the dock cable that comes with your iPod. Use our included USB dock connector cable to connect and charge other iPod models.

Features standard Type A USB connectors that work with iPod and other USB-chargeable devices, and flat-blade non-polarized wall prongs that work wellwithinternational adapters and in multi-outlet configurations.

PowerBlock is compact and ideal to take along when traveling.

Comments about Griffin Technologies Griffin PowerBlock AC Charger for iPod and iPhone, Black:

Convenient for travel, as the prongs fold in when not in use, and when a computer isn't readily available. I've used it with iPod Touch, iPod Nano 3rd gen, and the latest gen of the Nano, so flexible. There's an indicator light that shows when the Touch is fully charged--doesn't seem to work with the Nano, but I just use the Nano's onscreen battery charge indicator to check.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Griffin Technologies Griffin PowerBlock AC Charger for iPod and iPhone, Black:

Left my other iPhone charger cord in a hotel room so I needed to buy another and normally I would have gotten it at the Apple Store, but I saw this as I was purchasing other items and thought, "What could go wrong, it is just a basic USB connection cord." Boy was I wrong. Used it to charge my phone, worked fine. Went to update my phone through iTunes and the Phone crashed and could not be revived! The next day I used my Apple Cord to try to revive the OS and reload my applications and luckily it worked with the Apple Cord. Do not buy this product if you want to do anything more than charge your phone.
