Apple no longer selling iPod power adapter: 3G iPods are e..

External Since: May 25, 2004 Posts: 2

Apple no longer sells the iPod AC Power Adapter Model A1003. In fact,
noone sells it. There are some aftermarket chargers available that
aren't half as elegant.

A strong sign that the classic 3G iPods are at the end of their
lifecycle. I wonder if Apple will sell only the mini-iPod in the
future, perhaps with larger drive capacities.

If you've got one -- don't lose it!! If you have one without an iPod,
they'll soon command a fine price on eBay.

Yes, they do. It goes by product number M8636G/B, and you'll find it
on http://store.apple.com/ under "iPod accessories." They cleverly
disguise it under the title "Extra Apple iPod Power Adapter." And the
same adapter works with ALL iPods, from first generation to mini.

Perhaps so. But that won't change the fact that the power adapters for
the mini are absolutely identical to the ones for the other iPods.
It's simply a transformer to power the pins in a standard FireWire
connector, to which you connect your particular iPod's data cable.

Suuuuure they will.
