    Got a I Pod Computer connection and a car charger for €2. The same thing less the charger cost over 20 in Tesco, . Was dead chuffed when I picked it up in Euro General . It's like a pound shop. Link below.

    Also got a 4 port USB adapter for €2 . They've got a pretty good computer section . Well worth checking out.

    sounds like good prices. ipod accessories tend to be on the expensive side.

    Can you tell me if its being used to charge an ipod touch or an older model ? I know there are a lot of charging issues with the ipod touch gen1 and gen2 and older chargers. the issues being that they don't work :rolleyes:

    Thanks,

    you can use any ipod usb charger, only thing that needs to be done with old ones is to put 10kOhm resistor between white and green wire either in charger case or you can try to partially strip insulation from cable ;)

    worth to try with not compatible €2 charger anyway

    There's loads of comp stuff for €2. When I'm passing by I'll see what else is there.
    From memory there was
    USB fan
    USb light
    two types of 4port USB adapter
    ipod cover
    Phone charger with a good few connections

    All €2

    i don't know, i use it for my 120gb ipod classic but that is a fairly new ipod.

    the €2 charger comes in two parts, the cigarette lighter connector with usb port and the usb data cable. Im sure you could use the cigarette lighter connecting piece to charge anything USB so if you have our own cable, i reckon you could still use this as a car charger.

    Just bought it and it works with Iphone First Gen. So therefore I presume it will work with Ipod Touch.

    Glad to see it worked out, not so sure what it's compatible with I know it works on the ipod classic as well .
    It's only 2 euro so well worth the chance. You'll probably be able to return it if you don't wreck the packaging, should work though.

    Took a pic with my phone to find out what else was there. All €2

    mini speakers
    computer chat phone
    compact folding calculator
    neckband headphones
    computer earpiece with microphone
    usb mini computer vacume cleaner
    whistle sonic keyfinder- might attach that to my remote controle :D
    aluminum mini torch
    LED mini torch
    usb lava lamp---pretty small now
    see through LCD clock
    magic turn and change clock- think the face changes colour when rotated
    credit card size magnifier and light
    electronic pillbox with timer and alarm


    Loads more stuff too....... only got this much on the pic....

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,314 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    should be, these offers are at least "while stocks last" so definitely a month or two anyway...

    Yeah ...it's not a special offer. On all the time. It's a pound shop or actually a €2 shop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 395 ✭✭AntoSRFC


    Is there an ipod charger to plug into a socket? Thanks
