I know I'm not the only person out there that has sat down in a plane, train or automobile hoping to listen to my iPod, only to realize I'm down to a tiny sliver on the charge bar. While I often have my laptop or charger with me, this nifty Griffin TuneJuice2 charger is one of those small gadgets you don't want to leave the house without. It can provide up to 14 hours of additional audio play, or 2 more hours of video enjoyment. You just have to pop 4 AAA batteries into it (your first 4 are included and you can use rechargeable) and keep rocking.

Geek Chic
- The TuneJuice is incredibly small, so it's perfect for slipping into your bag. It's also only $29, which if you are on a long international flight or camping and need some entertainment, is more than worth it.
- The fact that it can allow 14 additional hours of audio and 2 hours of video play is one of the chic.
Totally Geeky
- A completely discharged iPod will not be able to take advantage of TuneJuice because it goes into shutdown mode. TuneJuice doesn't actually charge up your iPod's internal battery.
Overall
It's definitely worth it if you're a traveler (especially if you don't want to buy an expensive adapter). 4 AAA batteries are a lot easier to find than the adapter you left on your desk at the office, am I right?

I really need this. I went on a trip to Europe a few months ago and forgot to bring my charger - it was a total let down.
1I loveee it.
2I have several trips to take this month where I won't want to drag my laptop along...I bought the wall charger for iPod from the local Radio Shack, but for longer flights this will be perfect. When I'm watching video in the air, I'm keeping one eye on the battery indicator to see if I've got enough juice to get me to my destination. This would take care of that worry! Got to get one.
3Yeah I am thinking it's ideal for flights too. It's really light too, which I forgot to mention. Major plus.
4I totally need this in my lab. I'll listen to my mp3 player all day while I'm working and completetly forget to charge it that night so that I can't use it the next day while it recharges. So annoying.
5Yea battery lives regarding ipods are pretty frusterating, i'll have to try this! I travel alot and this would be perfect for me.
