Well i need a good external battery pack for the ipod.. i guess its too late to order one and have it here by wednesday without having to pay out a huge overnite fee so i need to know of one i could get locally...

local stores

Best Buy

Office deopt

Staples

Target

Walmart

Office max

Radio shack

Batteries +(seems where i should try hehe)

just something that plugs into the dockconnector and has batteries.. heck if i could find an energizer one that runs on AA batteries that would be a big plus to cram more batteries into it...

I need this by wednesday as i plan to carry only my ipod on black friday and camping out starting thursday at noon

Just a good suggestion..

yes i know its not a month yet... but i said i would be back around black friday... and its been a month on Mars already :p

you could make something if you can figure out how to work with the TINY 30 pin dock connector.

the dock connector on most iPods allow for charging from +5 and +12 volts, which are normally used with the USB (+5v) and FireWire (+12v) dock cables. there are also pins for USB and FireWire signalling, stereo audio output and input, video output, and serial comms, among other things. lots of cool stuff could be done here ;)

if you could come up with +12 volts in portable form, i say that would be pretty easy to do. could be done with an Apple dock-to-FireWire 400 cable to get you out of the connector, and yer choice of either cutting off the FireWire plug and splicing in there, or using a female 6-pin connector at the power source for easy disconnect. note that though the 5th Gen iPods "Video" and later dropped FireWire capability, they still charge from it just fine.

don't try this at home, kids

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
