 USB adapter for the iPod Shuffle - Should have been standard November 17, 2007

The USB Adapter for the iPod Shuffle fills a product need created by Apple. The reality is this adapter should have been included with the product instead of the mini-doc. Or, a standard USB port connection should have been used. Either way, this is a handy accessory for your iPod shuffle, and it works with both 2nd and 3rd generation models.
Pros
This unit is not only smaller than the Apple shuffle dock, it's also cheaper.
Cons
Clearly this is a low end accessory. Failure rates are inevitable, so at these prices it pays to buy a few to have a backup. Additionally, secondary USB ports and USB hubs may not work with this one, so you have to use a main port.
This unit is worth a try. I feel like you can do a little better on price, so shop around. If you have the Shuffle, though, it pays to get some version of this adapter.
Enjoy!!!
Nice, Compact Little Piece of Kit November 12, 2007

Yes, the original iPod Shuffle charger has got a much better design to it, the way the Shuffle fits snugly inside that little lip and plugs in at the same time, the way the entire dinky assembly stands up on the table like some defiant little piece of Jobsian sculpture. This doodad hasn't really got that kind of evocative power, but then again, that's not what it's about. This is a very simple and straightforward piece of gear; stick one end in the USB and the other in your Shuffle, and you've got power, baby. And it works just fine.
It does seem to me that this device charged the Shuffle just a little bit faster than the factory rig does. No, I didn't time it; I've got no way to test this scientifically, so can't offer hard data, graphs or flow charts.
All, in all, this is a nice little piece of kit. No wires to tangle or tie, which is the single best feature for me. It's one simple little piece, and it goes in your pocket just like pocket change. Take it to work, wherever, and in no time you're charging your Shuffle. And, the price for this strikes as a good value. I recommend it.
 Awesome deal on a great product April 6, 2009

This tiny little device fit my need perfectly. That need: to replace the dock that came with the Shuffle and broke in transit just like it has for so many others, for the reason that that device's docking pin is set at a RIGHT ANGLE to the rest of it and just needs to be bent slightly to be rendered functionless. Add that to the price of a replacement dock from Apple (about 3/4 of the price of the freaking shuffle in the first place!) and this adapter is the perfect alternative. Only one word of caution: you will probably want to plug it into a USB port on the front of a desktop tower, or have to plug it into the side of a laptop. So be careful as the combo of adapter and Shuffle sticking out provides an easy opportunity to bend the USB or pin connection if you bump it too hard. This hasn't happened to me in six months of use, but i could easily see it happening under the wrong circumstances. But at this price, you could just buy 5 of them if you think that might happen.
In a nutshell, this thing is great!
