Unlike the previous reviewer, Les Ferch, who states that this product doesn't work with 5g iPods...it DOES work with them! I am charging one with it right now! See, the problem is that it sometimes seems to not charge at all and you have to unplug it a few times or disconnect the iPod from the usb cords, and then it will start charging. Sometimes you can charge it right off the bat. The first two times I tried charging my 5g iPod, it worked completely fine. It started charging right away. Then after I moved directions of the Zip-Linq wall plug, the iPod seemed to not charge anymore. Just play around with it and it will work.
