The one I have will work well as a power supply, but will NOT charge the battery on my Zen Micro Photo.

I have way too many USB devices to charge and this device seemed like a great way to cut down on the number of charging blocks. Since I have a second generation iPod Touch, the first review put my mind at ease that it would charge all of my devices. First week it was great, it charged everything without a problem. Phone, touch, iPod, Clip, no problem. One week later, the green status LED isn’t steady anymore and when I plug in my Touch it keeps turning on during charge. It’s like the charger is pulsing instead of a steady charge. At ~$25 and from Griffin, I expected that it would last for more than a week! Griffin obviously has quality issues with this device and I would recommend you looking for another charger.

Great product allowing you to charge almost any device with the same cord. Plug up to two USB cords into it and charge two or more devices at the same time. I own two. They work flawlessly. Use this with iGo brand tips and cables not the iGo AC od DC adapters. You can also find a DC to USB power plug for your vehicle. Never buy another cell phone car charger again for $30. Just buy a new iGo tip for $7 and keep using this or the car charger with the new tip!

Here’s a list of devices I’ve successfully charged using the Griffin PowerBlock:
-iPod Touch 3G
-iPod Nanon 1G
-HTC Fuze
-Logitech Performance Mouse MX
-Sony Reader Touch
-Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger
-Garmin Nuvi 760
It actually charges both devices at the same time so what more could you want? Great product!

Like most folks here, I am very happy with this charger, happy that it costs half as much as an apple-branded ipod charger yet has two USB jacks instead of one.
Some folks here have found this charger doesn’t put out enough power for particular devices. Before purchasing this charger, it’s a good idea to compare the power requirements for your device with the power this charger puts out.
The charger puts out 5.2 volts, and 500mA per USB port.
The charger also includes over-voltage protection and short circuit protection.
