Yep, there are a lot of chargers out there for the iPod/iPhone, but the ChargeBlock from Miccus has some nice features. First of all it’s very compact. It can easily fit it a pocket without making a bulge. And when it’s plugged into your iPhone/iPod it doesn’t add a lot of weight or bulk. The ChargeBlock charges iPods and iPhones anywhere, even while they’re in use. Controls are minimal. There are three indicator lights to signal remaining battery life. One of the LED’s doubles as a light to let you know when the ChargeBlock is charging, and when it’s fully charged. A full charge takes about 4 hours and it charges from your PC or laptop. It comes with a mini-USB charge cable. Here are some operating times from the manufacturer: Up to 11 hours of audio / Up to 3.5 hours of talk time. Up to 3 hours of video / Up to 2.5 hours of Internet browsing. Specifications: 800mAh rechargeable lithium ion battery lasts 500+ charges. Input: DC 5V/Output: DC 5V/+/-0.25V. Weight: 1.23oz (35g) / Size: 2.4"x1.24"x0.68" (61x31.5x17.5mm). $39.95. This is a new gizmo so perhaps the price will drop a bit once it’s gets into wide distribution, but $39.95 isn’t a bad price.
