does it charge the I device

It'll charge devices with the old apple connector (not the lightning connector) when the dock is plugged into ac power. It won't charge other devices when it's running on the battery.

Yes! and I love it! Sounds great whether using the iPod or the radio. A bonus to my sewing room!

Unfortunately it does not charge mine pretty much rendering it useless for what I need it for.

It's much faster to charge directly using an electrical outlet, but it will charge a iPod. As Dan the Floor Guy says, it won't charge when operating on the battery.

Yes, it does. I have a Galaxy phone and an Apple ipad and I charge them together

It does for me. I don't think the manufacturer makes that claim for all devices though. I plugged my iphone into it and it started charging right away.

No, but you could use an 30 pin adapter with a usb to just use for charging. It would be a slow charge because of the lower charge output(iPad requires more). My advice is stay clear of this piece of junk.

It kinda does and doesn't- each port has unique amps to power stuff - there is a label on the side. So an iPad needs more juice than an iPhone - I also have a Nokia that requires the higher amps to charge.

Yes it has a usb port on it so you can plug any kind of ish cable in to and it charge a iPhone can be chraged four times on a full charge and a iPad will only give one charge its a great device I highly recommend it

Yes and it will also charge an ipad at the same time. All you need is a standard USB power cord, the same kind that you use for a laptop or wall outlet charger. Plug the large part or section into the external battery and then the other unique apple other end into your phone and or IPAD. You'll be satisfied. You can charge your phone almost 5 times and the good thing about the external battery is that it will automatically shut off once the phone or ipad is fully charged. Its worth the price. Im more than happy with mine. I hope this helps.

Short answer- yes. Page 6 of the owners manual states:"An iPod is charged when set in the iPod dock. During power save mode, the iPod is not charged". I do not own an i-pod so I can not speak from experience.

I assume so, as long as the iPad is plugged into the "A" port. I charge both my iPhone and my iPad at the same time using the "A" port for the iPad and the "NA" port for the phone.

no, but it has a common usb slot so u can use usb line to connect to computer or ur iphone charger etc...

No. It will charge you phone or ipod or other low power device. Mine blew up when I tried charging my phone & ipad. Also, you will need a converter for anything with a motor.

Yes it does. You need a power supply from USB which can be done using the iPhone wall plug charger. However the speaker volume is really low as usually iPhone's output sound is not strong enough. I find that the INSTEIN speaker volume is actually softer than my iPhone's. So I returned the product right after I got it.

Yes. I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5 and I plugged the iPad in the A slot and the iPhone in the NA slot and they both charged. The best use for this is at a bedside nightstand so they can charge all night.

No, it doesn't. You have to plug this device to a charger, then once it's charged up, just remove it from the plug and you're good to go for a back up charger on your iPhone or iPad.

I have an iPad 2 that charges just fine. It take a little longer than my iPhone, but it does charge.

I cannot speak for your I-Pad, however I was able to charge my smartphone (android) through the device while it was plugged into a wall charger and charging itself. I do not have a USB charger for my tablet to test that part.

Thats a good question, from what I have seen so far yes you are able to charge your device first. However, I noticed that when I started charging my iPad it actually drained so much power that it appeared the Anker could not keep up.Both Anker and iPad where empty when I started the test, when the iPad reached 50% it simply stopped charging.I have not had this issue when charging my iphone. I have not yet done the ipad charing scenario again. I'll post up a new review if I notice anything new. Otherwise I'm very happy with the amount of portable power available.
