The power is yours (and your iPod’s)

ipodadapter.jpgAs if you don’t have enough ways to charge your iPod, Belkin’s announced four new chargers for your favorite portable music device. Now you can charge your iPod when it’s connected to your computer, your entertainment system, your car, and the good old wall.

The PowerDock is your standard run-of-the mill USB dock; it’ll cost you $35 and it fits nanos, minis, and fourth and fifth generation iPods. It includes a USB dock-connector cable.

The PowerDock AV is like the PowerDock, but, erm, with a couple of letters after its name. Instead of connecting it your computer, you can connect it to your stereo (line out?). It runs for $50 and also includes a USB cable.

The Charging Kit for the iPod includes both wall-outlet and car-outlet power adapters for the iPod, for $35.

The Power Adapter for iPod costs $25, and includes a USB cable and the power adapter.

So, really, you have no excuse for having your iPod die on you: don’t even try to blame it on Apple’s “short-lived” battery.

Where did you get that picture from? Reason I ask, is the espresso cup. I have one just like it. In fact, I'm working on collecting all the colors. That color was the last one I got in. I have a hankerin' for some good coffee, as evident from my website. My two fav hobbies are Macs & Coffee; so I like the picture.

@Walt: Actually, it comes from Belkin itself. Just click on the link in the article above. I think they're still working on a way to power your iPod from coffee...
