Normally, yeah, the Shuffle only charges hooked up to a computer (they do sell aftermarket chargers, though)

I have a small, portable iPod speaker system that I take on vacation or when I do overnights. I charges the iPod while it is docked and playing, plus I have music - MY music - when I'm traveling.

I am IPod-less.

I am NoPod.

I am a Zen fan... it plays my music, plus has a nice voice recorder, fm radio and I can encode mp3s without a computer

It was 92 in Cerritos today. It is NOVEMBER!

I think I'm going to print up business cards that say "Heat Wave Prudence".

Thanks you guys.

I will have to check if there is an aftermarket one for this one. It is the new tiny one.

NA, I also have one of those little boom boxes. Not an iPod brand, Memorex. We bought it specifically for our two week trip. No freakin' way was I going to go out for that long without 'my' music filtering throught the hotel rooms.

We also bought a charger for the car that plays the music and keeps the iPod charged as well. I was worried that it would die because we were on the road for hours some days. It worked well.

I have another question that you brilliant people here will probably have an answer for.

We have a Linksys for the house. It has worked great for all of us; our computers, XBox and on line handhelds.

Recently, I've lost connection or had horrible connection and it coincides with a little pop up that says something about an ip address causing conflict.

Does this mean A} A neighbor has a Linksys as well and it is causing interference or B} my new neighbors are thieves, stealing my precious internet???

All iPods can be charged via a wall plug. Almost all iPods (except for the Shuffle) use the same connector, unless you have a shuffle, any charger from any other iPod will work. They stopped packaging wall chargers with the smaller models (it started with the mini and has continued with the nano) to keep package size down as well as to lower the initial cost. As was mentioned, you can purchase a wall charger, or a car charger, readily available at apple stores (or for cheaper on ebay if you don't care if it's apple branded).

Probably neither A, or B. The linksys is also a DHCP server (that means it passes out IP addresses to all the computers on your network). It sounds like an ip address got passed out twice. The ip addresses on a network need to be unique. You could power down all the computers, power down the linksys, wait a minute, power up the linksys, then power up the computers. That would force each computer to get a new ip.

Hmm, hard to know for sure. Is your wireless connection secured? Does it use static or dhcp addresses? It's possible that the router is just confues, have you tried resetting it?

Thanks, GD!

I will have to go and search. Well, maybe I'll go check out the iPod store at the new fabulous upscale mall out at Eastlake.

I know there are a few locals from San Diego...anyone been?
