Hi. I am going on a long bus ride to NYC in about a week. I want to pass the time by watching some movies on my iPod, of course ;). However, I'll need to charge it during the ride if I want to keep using it. I also won't be bringing my laptop, so I can't charge it that way. I want to buy some sort of portable, battery-powered iPod charger. I have found one online that seems pretty good:

^That's a little on the expensive side, compared to this one:

Of course, the first one, the "iTurbo" seems much more reliable and a better product, however, this could be just bad and good marketing. The iTurbo has received some very good reviews, and runs off a AA battery, instead of the much more expensive 9V the second one runs off of. Lastly, the iTurbo is twice the price, which is a downside, but I would be willing to buy a $25 charger as long as it's very reliable.

Has anyone else ever used either of these, or does anyone else know of another one?

-Thanks
 
What kind of batter does the second one you posted (the wtop I think it's called) run on?

-Thanks
