I'm so glad I bought this. My stupid iPod shuffle (1st Generation) sometimes doesn't show up in my iTunes when plugged into my computer, so at least this way, I can still charge it and use it.
The only thing is that there are no instructions. It's very easy to figure out, except the first time I used it, I had it connected wrong, so obviously, my iPod didn't charge. They could've at least included a picture (which they do with the 2nd gen. shuffle) b/c you connect each one differently. But once I figured it out, it charged very quickly. (you connect the 1st gen. shuffle directly to the adapter that goes in the outlet -- plugs in where the cord is for the 2nd gen. one).

DLO PowerBug Charger/Dock for iPod shuffle 2G Review

A few months ago I needed to replace my broken shuffle dock. After trying the IncipioBud (which I didn't care for) I tried the PowerBug. So far, I adore it and have absolutely no complaints. However, considering the poor product description, it was more a lucky break than an informed decision.
As shown in the picture above, the PowerBug comes in two pieces: the little white charger unit (the "bug") and a usb cable that connects from the "bug" to the shuffle. This means your shuffle can be plugged into the wall and charged anywhere, anytime; it also means the usb cable can be removed from the "bug" and plugged into the computer, allowing your shuffle to be charged and synced in the standard manner.
So, no -- this isn't a stand-your-shuffle-up-on-it dock, but it will do the same job, as well as allowing it to be charged in a standard wall plug. Better yet -- at least for me -- the "bug" also seems to be compatible with the usb cable for my older video ipod, allowing me a lot of charging options both at home and while traveling.
Be warned - there's no guarantee they won't change the design or that plugging your own non-shuffle usb device into the "bug" won't cause it to blow up. However, until they provide an decent official product description, I can only hope this will be helpful.

This item is a compact way to charge your shuffle on the go! It more than double the price at BB, and at other stores, so this is a great price. It fits in the palm of your hand.
The reviewer below did not read, or did not understand, the product description, and certainly did not know what this product costs elsewhere.
