Press release edited by Applelinks senior editor Kirk Hiner

Griffin Technology, Inc. today announced PowerBlock, a universal charger for iPods. Use PowerBlock to power and charge almost any iPod from a wall outlet. iPod shuffle plugs directly into PowerBlock, and all other supported iPods use the included cable (itself, a $19.95 value).

PowerBlock accepts 120 or 240 Volt service for use with international plug adapters. And PowerBlock's compact size makes it ideal for business, home, or mobile use—whenever an iPod can't be conveniently connected to a computer for charging.

Works with:

• 5th Generation iPod with Video
• iPod nano
• iPod shuffle
• iPod mini
• iPod Photo
• 4th Generation iPod with Click Wheel

PowerBlock is priced at $29.99 USD, and is available at www.griffintechnology.com.
