Advantages: Compact and Portability Disadvantages: Price
This USB PowerAdapter is a must accessory to have if you have any kinds of iPods. As you would know, when you buy an iPod, you will only receive the iPod itself and the link cable. This means the only way you can charge the iPod is through the computer. However, this is disadvantage for many reasons since you would need to make sure the computer is on when charging.

MUST READ ? To even think about getting this product you must have the correct docking slot for this attachment to fix into, otherwise it?s just a waste of money as you can?t attach it to your laptop. The good thing is that this ?docking slot? (its a little flattened oval shape on the side / back of the laptop with a small unlocked padlock above it. The laptop manual should tell you where, and if you have one.) is pretty much a standard on most laptops now. Also if you don?t have a slot, you can get conversion kits from Kensington ...
