Charge your iPod touch without a computer!

One of the frustrations with the iPod touch is that it doesn't come with a wall charger. Out of the box you can only charge it from the usb port on your computer. Which is a pain.

Now you can buy an expensive charger from Apple that allows you to charge in a socket: Apple USB Power Adapter

However..

If you have already owned a 3G or earlier iPod you can charge using FIREWIRE! Have a look in your cupboard... you should have these:

Together, they allow you to charge your iPod Touch without a computer! And for no extra expense!

Now don't get too excited.. syncing by firewire doesn't work :( Apple removed that functionality, but charging still works!
