my wife recently purchased an ipod 4th generation player with her airmiles. While waiting for it to arrive she purchased a wall charger as the ipod can be charged with a computer usb port only and she didn't want to lug her 17" lap top around. She also bought at the same time a kit from China that included several different plastic cases, carrying case, stylus, wall & car charger, head phones, 2 person adapter and a few other bells and whistles for $12. The single wall charger and ipod came first and low and behold the ipod would not charge with the wall adapter. Seems the latest generation ipod needs something different with the usb port to charge properly. Lots of postings at apple and other sites talking about incompatibility with the 3rd party usb chargers. Future Shop has a sign up saying latest ipods won't work with old usb chargers. When the ipod accessory kit arrived she was amazed with all the stuff she got and surprisingly the wall usb adapter worked!!!!!! Yea China!!!! cheap adapters.
