It froze up my iPod (itouch 2nd gen.)-temporarily-as in the "slide to unlock" didnt respond to touch,...and, to top it all off, it didn't charge it. So basically I paid to have my iPod messed up.

The picture on amazon is the same pic that apple posted. I zoomed in on it-the thing is 200% fake. If you look carefully, some words are spelled wrong-"designd" and "equipmnet" It also makes a weird clicking sound when its plugged in.

The only reason I docked a star is the prongs don't fold down.

A few things to note:

1) Why is this $35 on Amazon, and only $30 from Apple? More so, why is a freaking power adapter $30!!! Part of the answer might be...

2) Beware of after-market (used/ebay/etc) power adapters. There was a recall on these back in September. The new (replacement) ones have a small green dot on the side with the prongs. You can't just buy a cheapo off ebay and take it in for an exchange, because Apple requires the serial # from the phone.

3) Older dock chargers and wall warts don't work on the iPhone 3G (they changed the pin config around for the iPhone 3G) but I used my older iPOD USB cables and this wall wart adapter and the phone charged just fine.
