I have a question, and I know there are a lot of ipod fans here in the Lounge, so I was hoping someone here might have an answer for me.
Can I use a charger I got for a 3rd gen ipod with one of the new ipod classics, or do I need to buy a new charger? Like the docking station that plugs into the wall.
Thanks!

3. Yeah, they're basically just the old iPod with less of a glossy finish and $100 cheaper. |

2. Knowing Apple, you need to buy a new one and get your house re-wired. |

I think they discontinued the independent charger with the gen of iPod I bought (I think that was 4th or 5th, I don't know). I just plug mine into my computer to charge or use my speaker set (that acts as a charger, too). :shrug:

I was looking at them but I don't have any idea what to get.

10. Hell, I'm trying to remember the kind I have, and I'm blanking. |

Alltec Lansing, I think it is, though I'm not sure of the spelling. They're a few years old, but still quite powerful and also small and portable. God knows if they make them anymore. I know JBL makes a whole line of speakers that can dock with an iPod. I'm not sure if they act as chargers, as well. They probably do, but I'd check on that.

I also got a best buy gift certificate for my birthday and I'm trying to decide what to get.

and his charger works with my (newer) 30-gig. Not sure if this info is helpful, because i haven't figured out the whole "generation" system... as far as i know, my iPod has not had any babies... ;-)

8. The new ones are 80 or 160 gigs |
|
I think the 30 gig ones are the last group that came out. These just came out a few weeks ago.

13. I think possibly it will |
|
Here is one from Amazaon (a wall charger) that seems to fit all of them. The key is what kind of connector it has. I just bought an Ipod classic myself and am looking for a wall charger, since it currently syncs with my desktop and i don't know what would happen if I plugged it into my laptop. http://www.amazon.com/White-Travel-Charger-Classic-iPhone/dp/B000PQCQB0

14. As long as your charger has a dock connector |
|
Which I believe they started including on the 3rd Gen. You should be all good.
