Are Non-Apple i-pod Replacement Mains Chargers Safe?
Not too much to add to the title.
I find it quite incredible that apple - a.k.a Dick Turpin - can justify charging nearly twenty pounds for a mains charger. I'm assuming there's no fancy doohickey inside that justifies the cost, so which replacements are safe? |

A lot of the ones you see on eBay only work a few times, then break, and I tried the charger for my PDa but didn't work. Do see your point though, as you grudge forking out £20 for the official one.
Best way is to just charge via USB on PC for all the time it takes anyway. |
