Strengths:

Great design. low cost solution to powering your ipod in the car. Highly recommend it

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Jul 16, 2004 - I use the Griffin Technolog's PowerPod in my auto with the Griffin iTrip. The powerpod cable can also be used to connect your ipod to your computer if you need an extra cable, which makes the powerpod a very convienient accessory for your iPod

Strengths:

Low cost, nice design that somewhat matches the iPod, firewire interface, so it allows connection through a variety of iPod accessories.

Weaknesses:

Cheap feeling plastic, compared to the iPod, atleast. Included cable feels little cheap as well. But not surprising considering the price

Posted Sep 30, 2004 - Overall, I would rate this a 5 in terms of function, and a 4 in terms of quality, and would probably give a 4.5 overall. It is a very well-thought out product. Unlike other iPod car chargers (at least the ones I have seen), there is NO fixed or proprietary cable coming out of the chargers that attaches to the iPod. There is a simple 6-pin female firewire socket. The benefit here is that you can use this charger with older generations of the iPod, and/or concurrently use it with other iPod accessories. For example, I like to use the line out of the iPod and use my own amp when using headphones, whether at home or in the car. At home it is not an issue since I can use the iPod dock and use the line out and also charge at the same time. But while in the car, I would like to charge the iPOd on long trips, and also want to use the line out when I use the cassette car adapter. I use Sik's Din to be able to use the line out, but the POwerPod's firewire interface allows me to also charge the iPod when I am using the Sik Din. Even Sik's car-charger solution is not this elegant and flexible. Bottom line, I highly recommend this charger over other designs as it does it's job and allows you the flexibility to use other peripherals while using the iPod in the car.

Strengths:

Griffin Technolog's PowerPod is the best auto power adapter I've seen. It's durable, elligant, priced fairly, and compliments Apple's iPod.

Weaknesses:

Absolutely none.

Posted May 5, 2004 - If you're in the market for purchasing a power adapter for your iPod, you're search is over. Without a doubt, the PowerPod is your #1 choice overall. If you like your accesseries to match your iPod, this is the perfect match.

Strengths:

it charges quickly

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Sep 5, 2005 - I thought that because it was so cheap, that it might not be good quality, but it's the opposite. i've left it out in the sun for long periods of time and it still charges it quickly and has no problems connecting to my car or the ipod. i'm sure i'll have someone in the future want to use it for their ipod type and at that time i'll be ready. I think this is a great product.

Strengths:

chrges great, dock connector to firewire cable, works with new and and old iPods

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Apr 20, 2005 - The Powerpod works just as advertised and is a must have for anyone that uses their iPod in the car. Works with new and old iPods. I have a 1st generation iPod in my wife's car and a 4th Generation iPod in my car and the Powerpod works with both. If you purchase the new 30Gb iPod Photo, you will not get a dock connector to firewire cable. The cable that comes with the Powerpod can be used to connect your iPod with a dock connector to your computer via Firewire. Therefore, you don't need to spend the extra $20 for a firewire cable.

Strengths:

The strengths of the Griffin Tech POWERPOD AUTO CHARGER FOR NEW IPOD is that you can charge your Ipod while you are away from your home or computer.

Weaknesses:

The only weaknesses is that I wish it was not a firewire but a usb. This way it will work on you computer is most are usb capable.

Posted Apr 12, 2005 - The Griffin Tech POWERPOD AUTO CHARGER FOR NEW IPOD works great. I was debting if I want to get it or not but I love it. I can still listen to my music in the car while my IPOD is charging. The Powerpod is simple to use with a great look. This works great if you are on long trips and are not by a power outlet. I have not complaints about the Powerpod at all.

I can keep listening to my iPod as long as I want and not worry about charging the battery.

Weaknesses:

None so far.

Posted Feb 24, 2005 - This is the best. Monarch shipped my order super fast and they have the best prices. If you have an older iPod you need this car charger cause the battery life is not that long.

Strengths:

Styling, simplicity, price

Weaknesses:

Fire Wire Connector not as deep as the cable

Posted Feb 4, 2005 - Opening the PowerPod was an elegant experience; the packaging is styled after the iPod's: it was Christmas all over again. I slid the white cover "band" off the solid black box and opened the "door" to reveal the white and gray device, cable and the "Quick Start Guide" of 3 easy steps -- all you need to know. The colors of the PowerPod coordiinate nicely with my 20 GB docking connector iPod. After attaching the Fire Wire cable, the PowerPod's red LED lit up when plugged into my SUV's cigarette lighter and when the cable was connected to my iPod, the iPod indicated it was charging. It continued to charge as I played it. My single complaint is that the Fire Wire connector does not seat fully into the PowerPod causing me to try to push it in farther. It's not loose but wriggling it can make it seem seated but without removing it -- the LED goes out while it is still "connected", a minor issue with which I expect no trouble. Overall it is a simple, well styled, well matched add-on to my iPod; I expect to use it daily.

Strengths:

Design that supports all iPods.

Weaknesses:

Cable isn't coiled and don't lose it.

Posted Nov 12, 2004 - The PowerPods strength can be it's weakness if you're prone to forget or lose things. The firewire port/cable connector makes it versatile in supporting all iPods. However, if you forget or lose your cable you just have the mobile plug. Where other iPod mobile power units have a cord permanently attached it can get in the way when not using it. Just unplug the firewire cable from the PowerPod and you can leave it in the socket to plug in when you return to your car. However the firewire cable is straight so it does have to be managed by curling it up yourself whereas some of the competitors cables are coiled.

Strengths:

The charger comes with a cable for IPOD's with the dock connector. Very sturdy construction.

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Oct 24, 2004 - I was pleasently surprised to find a charger for such a low cost that was fully compatable with my 3rd Gen IPOD. I like the fact that it comes with a detachable firewire cable which I can use in the house as well as the car. The Charger plugs nicely into the cigarette lighter and works flawlessly. I am very happy with this Griffen Product. I cannot think of any drawback to buying this charger.
