This review is from: AC to Dual Port USB Wall Charger (Electronics)
I bought a couple of these for charging my Droid X and a Bluetooth headset at the same time. The phone's performance would drop dramatically while it was connected to this charger. So I grabbed my multimeter to check the charger's output. The +5VDC pin was putting out 5.15 volts which is well inside the 4.75-5.25 USB scecification so no trouble there. I noticed that they did have intact data pins so I checked them. Both of the data pins produced +2.54 V on both of the chargers I received. Different devices will deal with this voltage in different ways, but had I known I would never have plugged my phone into it. Too damn risky.
This is clearly a design flaw and an incredibly simple one at that, all they need to do is not hookup the data pins.
I wouldn't recommend these, but after disabling the data pins I am now using mine.

I bought this item so I could charge my 3rd Gen iPod touch without having to plug it into my laptop or having to spend $30 on a genuine Apple one. I am happy with this one..it's cheap and it works...I really don't care about using namebrand stuff as long as the generic stuff works. I have no problems with compatibility with my iPod. I do not own an iPhone or an iPad so I cannot rate its compatibility with those items. Botton line...if you're looking for an inexpensive option to charge your iPod..go with this!
