Belkin Mobile Power Cord For iPod w/ Dock Connector

Advantages: Extra power for your pod, replaceable batteries
Disadvantages: Bulky, wont charge Ipod

...Does what it says on the box really. What you have is a pack that holds 4 x AA batteries that your Ipod can run from. These batteries can be changed when they run out. The pack has two suckers that 'stick' to the back of your Ipod and is held firmly to the backup pack and a cable that plugs into the base where the sync cable / dock station usually goes. The downside is that the Ipod will only run from the pack and this will not charge your Ipod. The other downside is that it can become quite bulky especially if you want to place this in your pocket, case or something alone the lines of a tune dox (car holder). The plus side is that you can have a limitless extra power supply and along with a series of four LED's will show you how much power is left.... Read review

Advantages: Charge ipod on the move and access to all your music
Disadvantages: Lots of wires if using both simultaneously

...Carrying over 1000 tunes in my bag and at the gym I found it a bit of a waste to be lugging cassettes around especially if I had recently downloaded new tunes. I want to listen to them in my car now! This product allows me the choice of all my music on the move whatever mood takes me and the charger means I can keep ipod powered up so no running out of power at the gym etc. The product consists of a cassette adaptor and a charger which operates through the cigarette lighter. They can be used simultaneously so the battery is continually charged. However this means two wires are hanging loose. I sit my ipod on top of the dashboard and the wires come up to meet it. It would be dangerous to fiddle with the ipod while driving, however the playlists i have set up allow plenty of musical variety so i can just switch it on at the start... Read review

Advantages: Very useful
Disadvantages: None

...This bit of kit works pretty well, I've used it a great deal on my g/f's Ipod and in the car. It allows you to charge your Ipod from the car's cigarrette lighter,which is a great idea. I have found this to be especially useful when you go for a drive somewhere and want to have a fully charged player when you step out of the car.At the same time it allows you to connect other accessoried such as the cassete adapter, I think Belkin makes this as well - you plug that into the the adapter and then into your normal car stereo through the 'cassete' and it plays out through your car stereo..nifty eh?!! No need for a line in connection. It has has a 3.5mm headphone jack on it so that you can attach the cassete adapter too, and allows you to adjust the volume of the amplification! It also has a little tab so you can tie the wire up nice... Read review
