I was one of the unlucky ones who got a wall charger that it’s advertised as 2G compatible, but it just makes my iPod goes “crazy” when I connect this crappy charger. By crazy, I mean, it goes off and on repeatedly like it was being disconnected and connected back again from the wall outlet and it never stops. This is for the wall charger only, but I’m not so willing now to even try the car charger after this mishap. I guess the “you get what you paid for” phrase is ringing loudly through my ears…

Both the car charger and wall charger arrived in nondescript packaging with no brand name.

The good news is that, so far, the iPOD Touch appears to be charging fine with both products.

The bad news is that once the wall charger is plugged in, I cannot unlock the iPOD Touch by sliding the unlock bar on screen. Try as I might, the unlock bar does not slide all the way, and the iPOD remains locked while it is being wall charged. As soon as I disconnect the wall charger, the iPOD behaves normally again.

In addition, the LED lights on the chargers serve no useful purpose, as they remain lit up whether you have the iPOD connected to the charger or not.

I guess you get what you pay for...... Rating: 3 / 5 Rapid Car Charger + Home Travel Charger with IC Chip for Apple Iphone 3G 2nd Generation, Ipod Nano 4th 2nd Generation, IPod Touch

Works great with my Itouch 2nd generation. Just don’t be in a hurry to receive this.

It annoys me how Apple changed their products such that you have to connect them to your computer and sync it in order to charge the new iPods. Such a waste! So a stand-alone charger was on my mind. I held a few reservations with this item--as I didn't recognize the manufacturer or the vendor. But I'm glad to report that I'm quite happy with the purchase. It does exactly what it claims to do (charges iTouch 2G) and at a much cheaper price than the AppleStore. No reason not to buy it.

Update: AC Charger quit working about 7 months after purchase. For the price, it still may be worth it. Rating: 5 / 5 Rapid Car Charger + Home Travel Charger with IC Chip for Apple Iphone 3G 2nd Generation, Ipod Nano 4th 2nd Generation, IPod Touch

This item was purchased on the 16th of Dec and recieved on the 23rd of Dec. I was uncertain that it would be compatible with the 2nd gen. iPod Touch as some people had mentioned in their reviews that some products, though advertised to be compatible, did not work properly with their iPod. I found that both chargers (car/wall) function as advertised. Item shipped/arrived as expected and works great. Sure beats the $30 wall charger from the apple store as I now have one for the car to boot for one low price. Look at it this way, you can buy three of these things for the same price as one individual wall charger from the apple store and you still wouldn’t have a car charger. In my opinion, it’s a no-brainer.
