… still not what I’m looking for …
maybe you can help?

At home we’ve got 3 iPods. I’m looking for a device where I can plugin all three iPods at the same using the USB-connector cables to recharge them simoultaniously.
Letting the pc run just to have a USB-port for recharging the iPODS is a little bit overdone IMO.

Any suggestions anybody?

TIA
Ron

Ron, I believe a powered USB hub should do what you need. Have you tried that?

Something like this, Ron? Plugs into the wall, provides 4 powered USB ports for charging (bonus points for having international plug adapters). You will have to provide your own iPod docking/charging cable but the ones that came with the device should work fine.

I have the Lenmar USB adapter that Mystech points at. It works fine for charging multiple iPods. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the attachment for the snap-on plug (to let you swap in international plug shapes) is pretty flimsy. But if you are not planning to plug and unplug this all the time, it is a fine solution.

I also own one of these: http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=1141

It has a much better plug attachment system (it is a direct ripoff of the Apple laptop/old iPod charger system), but, I have found that in some outlets there is a quiet but audible whine from this system. It also ships from Hong Kong so it takes a couple weeks to arrive (the Amazon.com Lenmar one arrived in a couple days).

Thanks a lot.
That’s what I’ve been looking ! :-)

I’d leave it plugged in with 3 USB-cables attached to it, so my kids and I can charge our 3 iPods at the same time !
