Griffin Technology today introduced the PowerBlock, a universal wall charger for iPods. The iPod shuffle plugs directly into the top of the PowerBlock, while all other supported iPods use an included USB dock connector cable. The PowerBlock accepts 120 or 240 Volt service for use with international plug adapters. The PowerBlock works with 4G/5G iPods, iPod mini, iPod nano and iPod shuffle. It sells for $30.
Griffin also today announced that its new bottom-mounting iTrip is now available in black. Compatible with all full-size dockable iPods (3G/4G/5G), the new iTrip features a backlit LCD screen, a side-mounted switch to select broadcast frequency (88.1-107.9MHz), and the ability to set the iTrip to either US or International tuning modes. The new iTrip is priced at $50.
