Customer Review: Great for power emergencies
Summary: 5 Stars
I fly a lot for work and enjoy my iPod Touch, but find it runs low on power after a few hours of watching video. I originally learned of the accessory power device for iPods from an ad for the Richard Solo unit - a fancy $50 device made of brushed steel with a built-in laser pointer or something. The problem with that, though, is when it is attached to the Touch it blocks the headphone port - there is no cable as it is apparently designed to add a couple of inches of length to the unit (it was really made for the iPhone, where I presume one would be holding the phone next to one's face or using a Bluetooth earpiece).
I then searched on Amazon to see what else might be available, and found this Turbo Charge unit. Besides being more affordable, it's designed with a cable attachment so I can plug it into the iPod and still plug in my headphones, and it uses standard AA batteries so if I were to run out of reserve power I could just replace the AA's at any time.
I have since used it a few times, and find it quite effective. One set of AA's was able to add at least a few hours to the Touch's video time, and I have not yet had the occasion to require changing batteries (though I always carry an extra pair just in case). I can recommend this unit.
