"Hey, it's Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert here with information on how to charge your iPod. Gosh, you use it, it's dead, no good. Well, the procedure for it is pretty darn simple. It's getting a connector cable that comes with it, plugging it straight into the bottom here and then you've got this end. Oh, this is the magic USB end. Put it right into the computer, sync it, it'll charge it. Not by a computer? Oh, I've got you covered! You can plug into some after market, or the ones that come with it, USB right in here and now you're ready to plug it to the wall socket, sit it down, now you're charging, it's a nice little travel thing. In the car, well don't worry. We've got iPod car chargers. One end into the iPod, the other end into your cigarette lighter and you're gettin' all juiced up. But wait! There's more! You want to charge it and watch it on television at the same time, a real big monitor? We got ya covered there with an AB accessory available at apple.com or your Apple store. Now you're out and about and you're not near power, you're not near a car, you're not near a computer, you're not near a television, what do ya do? Well, this is one of my favorite little devices here by APC, the American Power Company. Again, we've got it plugged into the unit here, I plug in the USB end to the top over here, press the little button and now I can charge on the go. It's nice and thin, slip in the pocket, I can get two or three full charges out of an iPod, or out of an iPod with one of these bad boys. Slip in the pocket if I'm goin' campin', if I'm goin' to a theme park, any time that I think I could drain it, mostly those areas I use with the iPhone, too. Same connectors, same deal, 'member? iPhone is an iPod, just on steroids. Alright, you need more power than that? Two or three charges not going to do it you say? That's alright. Black 'n Decker's got ya covered! This is a serious power charger. Same concept, battery power here, USB in the top, and I could power this thing for days. Charge it up, power it direct off of that, you're ready to go, or, but wait! There's still more! Umm, official, and unofficial accessories, like this speaker stand. When it's playing and I'm jamming out to my tunes in the studio, well, I could charge it all at the same time. So there's a ton of options available, but make sure you're all juiced up, remember the concepts simple: official iPod end into it, click it, and then put the other end into some kind of power source. I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert sayin' "stream ya later!""
