"This Home Charger Does Not Work For Apple Ipod Shuffle" Reader Reviews You need to buy this. I'm beyond thrilled with my iPod. It's changed the way I commute, the way I conceptualize my music collection and the way I show off pictures of my kids. And I'm an all-around Mac guy, but there is a lot of misleading advertising, extras you need to purchase to really use their products. It's not a big problem, but something you should know. The iPod is designed to charge off your computer. The computer has to be on and running, it can't go to sleep. So if you want to charge your computer overnight, I guess they intend you to use your snooze alarm to wake you every ten minutes so you can touch a key on your computer and keep it awake. And the stakes are high, they tell you if you charge your battery incompletely the first time, it'll be forever calibrated wrong. I've been happy with the recharger. I keep it handy and use it often. I've read some negative reviews, complaints that it messes up the iPod. I don't know, so far I haven't had any problems, but I'm happy to keep you posted. Also, when they tell you how long the battery runs, it's based on just listening to music on the iPod and not playing around with all the features. Running the shuffle features drains the battery quicker because it needs to scan through all the memory. Also, when you play around with all the different options, the backlight is on a lot and that also drains the battery quicker. Again, minor issues that fail to sway my overall satisfaction with the iPod, but just go ahead and assume you'll want the recharger, assume you'll soon feel you need the Bose speakers and maybe even the car adapter. Because, once you're hooked, you'll know what you're missing. Once you've received the message, it's too late to hang up the phone. Comment (1) | Permalink | (Report this)
