I have way too many USB devices to charge and this device seemed like a great way to cut down on the number of charging blocks. Since I have a second generation iPod Touch, the first review put my mind at ease that it would charge all of my devices. First week it was great, it charged everything without a problem. Phone, touch, iPod, Clip, no problem. One week later, the green status LED isn’t steady anymore and when I plug in my Touch it keeps turning on during charge. It’s like the charger is pulsing instead of a steady charge. At ~$25 and from Griffin, I expected that it would last for more than a week! Griffin obviously has quality issues with this device and I would recommend you looking for another charger.

I got this product along with a Sansa Clip 4GB MP3 player. I needed 1) to be able to charge the MP3 player without using a PC since ours are off all the time, and 2) the ability to charge in Europe with 240v current since we went on a trip immediately after getting the MP3 player.
The PowerBlock worked perfectly in all regards, including handling the 240v current without issue (it also worked fine with 120v at home). We used a standard plug adapter in Europe for the prongs (not a voltage step-down). The prongs fold up into the device for easy packing/storage.
This is an outstanding product – simple, effective, and easy to use.

The one I have will work well as a power supply, but will NOT charge the battery on my Zen Micro Photo.

Please note that there is 1 look of this product but more than 1 model#. This particular model 7263-PBLKUN2B is working with Ipod Touch 2G, as well as other samsung mp3 players. I am using it. Very good product from Griffin. If you’re looking for something cheaper than the Apple charger for your Touch 2G. This is the one!

This universal charger works great with my Zen MP3 player. I don’t have to have it laying on the floor, connected to computer to charge, as my PC is on the floor.I can plug it into any outlet. Thanks, BKK
