4 out of 5 stars Why does apple's cable cost so much more?.......2007-12-25

I bought this months ago after the inevitable failure of the original dock that came with my shuffle. It worked pretty well with my laptop (xp pro). However, it did very rarely have an issue where it repeatedly disconnected and reconnected, once causing my laptop to crash. You just have to be careful about where it is and jostling the computer or placing papers on top of the incipiobud.

When I tried syncing to my desktop at home (xp) instead this morning, I encountered the little issue about using it with front ports. Since it wasn't working, I went and bought a DLO PowerBug cable thinking I could keep the wall plug at work and charge it there and all would be right with the world. DISASTER! Either iTunes would simply fail to recognize the shuffle or I would get a message about the iPod being corrupted. When I tried to restore using either the powerbug cable or the incipio bud (itunes or separate retore utility), I kept getting that 1418 error message and all the data on the shuffle got killed. Someone on a board had the solution. I went back to the incipiobud and tried to restore using the back usb ports. Success! You simply may not be able to use front usb ports with it. Plug it into the back. Not a big deal for me since my computer hangs from a lazy susan type thing, but obnoxious enough to take a star away. So four stars because it works just fine on the back ports with all the other devices still plugged in and was about 1/10 the cost of the DLO evil death cable I'll be returning as soon as the store opens after Christmas.

3 out of 5 stars It works, but . . . .......2007-12-04

I bought this to replace my broken shuffle dock, and while it does charge and sync the ipod, it doesn't work for me.
.
First: it's insanely small. I had a horrible time keeping track of it in my computer bag and ultimately lost it completely.

Second: the design makes me nervous. The first gen shuffles also plugged directly into the usb port -- I lost mine when someone small snapped it right off. I'm lucky it didn't wreck my usb port. This charger also plugs straight into the usb port, making me nervous for both the shuffle and my port.

Third: because it does stick directly out from the usb plug, you *really* have to have your computer on a flat surface with a few inches of clearance in order to sync your shuffle -- you can't leave your laptop and shuffle sitting on the the couch (or any other soft surface) without putting undue pressure on your usb port.

So, if you have a stand alone work station with easy usb port access and are good at keeping track of small dongles, then this would probably work well for you. If you wander around with a laptop or have hard to reach usb ports, you'll probably prefer the flexibility of a cable.

3 out of 5 stars IncipioBud USB adapter for the iPod Shuffle - Should have been standard.......2007-11-17

The USB Adapter for the iPod Shuffle made by incipio fills a product need created by Apple. The reality is this adapter should have been included with the product instead of the mini-doc. Or, a standard USB port connection should have been used. Either way, this is a handy accessory for your iPod shuffle, and it works with both 2nd and 3rd generation models.

Pros

This unit is not only smaller than the Apple shuffle dock, it's also cheaper.

Cons

Clearly this is a low end accessory. Failure rates are inevitable, so at these prices it pays to buy a few to have a backup. Additionally, secondary USB ports and USB hubs may not work with this one, so you have to use a main port.

This unit is worth a try. I feel like you can do a little better on price, so shop around. If you have the Shuffle, though, it pays to get some version of this adapter.

Enjoy!!!

4 out of 5 stars Has Its Tricks & Treats.......2007-10-14

The IncipioBud USB dock for the Ipod shuffle is great for someone who wants to be organized & prepared w/o having to carry around a bunch of stuff like a Nomad. Only flaw is I notice on my PC, if I attempt to attach my other USB's or flashdrive that it interferes with this device working/reading properly. So to avoid this, just be sure when you have it docked, all you're wanting to do while it is, is play with your itunes/ipod. Otherwise, it's a great addition, compact & handy CHEAP ($$).

5 out of 5 stars Much more convenient than the docking station.......2007-10-13

This device will make your day easier since you will no longer have to bring the docking station everywhere. This one is much smaller and by design is not that exposed to breaking the 'pin' or what it is called. A good and cheap investment.
