    It's only the iPod minis and possibly the iPod photos onward that charge via USB, all earlier models used firewire. I only know because I've got one the same as sleepy and just tried it out.

    USB 2.0 is required to charge via USB that's true. Mainly because the earlier version of USB didn't provide enough power. I'm pretty sure that's accurate but I'm sure someone will let me know if that's wrong.

    Any iPod from the fourth generation onwards will charge via USB. It does not need to be USB 2.0, however the USB socket must be powered.:)

    Why not just buy a AC adaptor from ebay. I got one for about £5 with delivery.

    Saves waiting half a day for it to charge via USB

    In the good old days the iPod came supplied with a firewire cable, a USB cable, a remote control, a mains charger and a dock. It cost more though!:(
