Apple USB or FireWire Power Adapter

Your iPod is charged whenever it’s connected to your computer, but for those times when you don’t have your computer with you — or to simply give yourself more charging options and locations — Apple’s iPod Power Adapters come in handy. If you’ve got a full-size or mini iPod, you should get the adapter that matches your iPod’s dock connector cable — USB or FireWire. If you’ve got an iPod shuffle or nano, the USB version is what you want. (The iPod shuffle can plug directly into the adapter’s USB port.)–Dan Frakes
