Hey, I am looking for two iPod AC adapters that I can plug into the wall without going into the computer first. I need one for the iPod Video and another for the iPod Nano. Can anyone refer me to a place with two of these products for a cheap price?

How are these so cheap on eBay? I was considering one for my nano, but now I'm skeptical. Example[=http//cgi.ebay.com/APPLE-iPOD-NANO-VIDEO-HOME-WALL-CHARGER-AC-ADAPTER_W0QQitemZ5850690009QQcategoryZ48680QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]Example

All USB is just 2 wires for data path and 2 wires (ground and V) for DC current, and the ipod takes the 2 for power and uses it to charge. So all it is is just a AC to DC adapter which is like .02c over in Japan.

They want you to buy their latest apple "dock" with "remote control". So they stopped shipping.

Fortunately I had won the old Apple 20bg iPod from Pepsi Canada in 2004 which came with AC adapter. )

Your best bet is ebay if u don't want to spend more than $40.

does a simple adapter charge it just as fast as plugging it into your comp? anyone know about this?

VrExe

06-01-2006 09:50:21

What do u mean by simple? It depends on the charger.

USB cable is relatively fast if you connect it to 2.0.

i mean just a plain wall adapter conected to a usb cable, like the one lihehehheheli was talking about at the very beginning...one that only cost about $10 or so. Does something like this charge as fast as say...a 2.0 usb conected to your computer?

when i get my ipod, i'll prob use the wall charger more than my computer for charging...so that's why i'm askin

hehehhehe

06-01-2006 12:48:13

It should be the same since they are both at 5V. If anything, the wall charger could probably provide more current if it has to, it just depends on its power rating.

i got my 20gb photo ipod when it came with the adapter and it always charges faster from the wall rather than my computer

oh good...i was worried that it would take forever to charge w/ a wall adapter, instead of using my computer. thanx for the good news!
