 Didn't work and may have ruined my iPod September 28, 2008
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.
 Okay for what it is... August 27, 2008
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 June 8, 2008

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 April 20, 2008

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! March 9, 2008

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.
