This review is from: FreeLogix – White UK 3 Pin Mains Charger – iPod All Generations (Accessory)
Heading to Mexico and without my trusty laptop i thought i’d better get myself a mains charger for my 30gb ipod video to keep it charged and ready for a nice lazy day on the beach. I stumbled across this and thought “hmm 1p, can’t be that good but hey give it a go, what do you have to lose”. Product arrived after just 24 hours wait— excellent delivery. Product, lightweight,good looking and fitted wall socket brilliantly, fitted ipod just as well. Charged my ipod without problems and then did exactly the same to my wifes ipod 4gb nano. So folks, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do, doesn’t break the bank when purchasing and saves looking for that usb connection when your batteries start to fade.

I bought this charger to use with a 2nd generation iPod Nano. It doesn’t work! Plugged it in, the little green light on the charger lit to show it is working, but it wouldn’t charge my iPod, regardless of how long I left it plugged in.
Since it cost 1p plus about £5 in shipping, do I return it to get my 1p back? I think I’ll just throw it out. Lesson learned. If it sounds too good to be true…

This review is from: FreeLogix – White UK 3 Pin Mains Charger – iPod All Generations (Accessory)
I bought this to charge my new second generation (2G) iPod Touch. Apple have finally changed the iPod charger requirements after years of build-up such that old Firewire-based chargers are no longer supported. As a result, neither of my old iPod chargers are able to charge my new iPod Touch. 🙁
In the main description of this charger, it states that it is suitable for ‘all iPod generations’, but this is factually incorrect. As reported by some other reviewers, this charger is not suitable for the latest iPhone or iPod models including the Touch 2G, Nano 4G and iPhone 3G.
If however you have an older iPod model, this may still be a reasonable cheap option for a charger. However, please be aware that although it is described as a FreeLogix branded charger, it has no manufacturer printed on it and appears to be a cheap generic unbranded charger. If it were me, given how expensive iPods are (and that their batteries are not user-replaceable), in hindsight I would not risk using a charger like this. I would go for something a bit more reliable and trustworthy.
Given that this charger is not in fact suitable for all iPod generations, I’ve awarded it the lowest possible mark as it is currently in breach of the Sale of Goods Act and the seller should update their description accordingly.
