ipod

I got one when I was in Canada because my ipod ran out of juice and there was no where to charge it up... Simply put ... its just 'TOO BIG' for practical and on-the-move use!... there is no way you can walk around with your ipod and the battery pack in your pocket... its stupid... it is good for flights but that's about it...Belkin have made a smart looking and high quality product but the size is just stupid in my opinion...but saying that I wouldn't need to carry around a bloody battery pack if Apple improved the ipod battery life.

ive gone thru three iPods that i bought brand new 3rd generation 10 gb and only spent $299. The first one i got died on a hold button error about 1 month after the purchase. I went in to the apple retail store and they replaced it FREE with a brand new one...and they were all nice about it. The one i got in replacement...had a wacked out battery and i never even got it to function. I brought it back to the same apple retail store and they replaced my new one with another iPod free of charge. They have ONE YEAR warranties just to let yall know. I reccomend taking it to their retail stores because they have excelent service and they fix pretty much everything there free even tho they arent sposed to. Well they do at the Emeryville Store in California...This new iPod ive had and its worked perfectly ever since. However, this post and a bunch of these other posts have nothing to do with belkin backup battery pack. I imagine its pretty good.

I bought this thinking it'd be the panacea to the brevity of the iPod's battery life. It is. When it works.

Pros:
•More time to listen to music.

Cons:
•Bulky. Power connector should be integrated, and the device should somehow fit around the iPod. While I have not had any bad experiences with suction cups holding expensive equipment, they are simply illogical considering that you are entrusting them with a $3-500 piece of equipment full of your life's work and all of your music.

Here's the kicker, and I realize that I'm not the only one who has had this problem:

I thought it was just a fluke when my battery pack's springs melted and I smelled burning plastic. Fortunately I haven't seriously burned myself, but cbBut it happened three times. Belkin phone support was no help, e-mail support didn't even address the issue, they just said "call us for help", and Belkin refused to replace the product.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been helpful(I recently filed a complaint/report), but Belkin is still quiet. Oh well. The Voice Recorder for the iPod is also pretty bad. Stay away unless you enjoy getting burns and wasting batteries.
