iPod 5.5G AC chargers

29-01-2007
I bought myself an AC charger for my new 80gb iPod which works fine (basically the charger is a transformer with a USB port on the end, which I plug my iPod USB cable in to).

I then bought myself a Motorola L6 mobile phone which (rather helpfully!) has a mini USB plug for both charging and data transfer. I've got myself a USB cable for my phone which charges up when plugged into my computer, but it doesn't charge when plugged into the apple charger. I assume this is Apple making it so that you can only use the iPod charger with iPods, but how is this possible? Surely would it not just send 5v DC through the normal way through the USB port? Meaning that it should work? Or is it not that simple?

Don't know, I charge mine using the 'logik3' combined in car charger and FM transmitter, also I find playing the ipod game 'Zuma' kills the battery.

You could get one of these which should work for both, but cant guarantee it... but hey i work for maplin so if it doesnt do what you want it to, just take it back (In 14 days of course in its packaging and receipt to hand or we will moan at you)
