    The iPod should automatically charge when it is connected to a PC via the USB cable which came in the box with the iPod. Also non licensed apple products always carry the risk of not working so it's probably best to stick to offical ones.

    Big corps are after your money. If they know you'll pay it, they charge you. Sure, it may cost you a little, but get the apple one. It's a lot less hassle than having an unusable iPod...
