Charging iPod in Europe + link to soon-to-end iPod offer

chaucer

Hello

Have just bought this:

Marks & Spencer iPod Nano 8gb (£129) + Docking Station (priced at £69 but free with the iPod)
http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/se...rowse=1&page=1

This offer ends on 29 July if you want it - it's instore (selected stores) and online too


My question is:

what small, inexpensive and portable device do I need to charge the iPod whilst on holiday in Greece?

many thanks

Marty_J

You need something like this:

or a computer with a USB port.

helpful once again marty - thanks

can anyone trump that linked item?

BritBrat

You can get the same sort of plug with a USB outlet.

Loads on Ebay.

Then it would also work with other devices.

EXAMPLE: But I would get at least 500mA or even 1000mA output.

USB Mains Charger

I am not taking a computer so need a mains charger

thanks britbrat - for some reason only half your message came up when I answered ...

If you are hiring a car while on holiday why not buy a cigarette / usb device so then all you need to take is the Ipod USB cable and charge the ipod while in your car

smart idea - but not neceassarily hiring a car

the link from britbrat looks good but is it a good product and how does it work - does it require buying anything else?

superscaper

Just to throw another idea in there (definitely not the cheapest, but then it can be used with other things, although I think you need to get ipod connector as well), but making use of the Greek sun: http://www.amazon.co.uk/S11-G07A-Solio-Solar-Charger-silver/dp/B000FDSMDO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1217244880&sr=1-5

It was only an example not a recomendation.

You will have to make own mind up.

They have the same type of thing on Amazon:

I want one myself but not bought one and I would buy from the UK.
