| Didn't work and may have ruined my iPod: Rating: 1/5 |
| Well, not only did it only work for like less than 10 minutes ... now my iPod mysteriously won't take any charge at all. I have it plugged in right now for charging and it keeps rebooting itself and won't take the charge. Special. |

Well, what can you expect when you buy something like this? It's a bit of a rinky-dink device, but it does it's job, sort of. It does get quite hot when a battery is in it being drained to your iPod. For camping, this could be a handy little item.
After my iPod died, I hooked this little guy up and burned through about 3 batteries (iPod NOT in use while charging) and got about 50% of my iPod's battery power back. It seemed to deplete faster than a "normal" charge, but that could have been my imagination.
If you're out in the middle of nowhere, with NO other way to charge your iPod, this isn't a bad way to go. However, if you have any other options, use those first. |

| Worked fine for me: Rating: 4/5 |
I purchased this item about 2 1/2 years ago. I have the old NON video
20 gb IPOD. This item worked PERFECTLY for me for 2 1/2 years. I have had some VERY long flighs (back to back 11 hour flights) and it allowed me to use my IPOD for hours. The ITURBO finally quit working. I will replace it as we travel quite a bit and it extends the IPOD life very nicely. I also can get a full charge from my rechargeable AA batteries. Sometimes the rechargeable batteries are a rather tight fit, but I have always been able to insert them and remove them successfully, but sometimes with a little bit of work. |

| What a piece of junk: Rating: 1/5 |
| What a piece of junk, this thing hardly works at all. I never write reviews but I felt compelled to do so for this horrible product, so no one else has to waste their money. I bought the iTurbo to use on an overseas trip, so I could use it on the airplane and bus rides and such. It only worked the first time I tried it. After that, it barely did any charging. I went through about 10 batteries just to get about a minute of play time on my iPod. I just ended up buying the Apple charger while in England at twice the cost as in the states. Do not waste your $ on this item!!! |

| Eeek! Don't use a rechargeable!: Rating: 1/5 |
| It would have been helpful if the instructions had mentioned NOT to use a rechargeable AA -- mine is now stuck and the device is worthless before I even had a chance to use it. I am PISSED. |
