gregandto Posted November 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Just purchased a MP-3 player wanted to bring it for music, small compact and easy to pack. Wondering if we can find a USB port to keep it charged. Will they allow this in the internet cafe ? Anyone else run in to this ? We don't have a laptop so thats out. Hate to have to leave it home. Thanks for info Greg and Tamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesteg Posted November 12, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The short answer is almost certainly not. The onboard PCs won't typically allow USB or other IO connections, though if you post your ship somebody will tell you for sure. However, I'm making a wild guess this is an Ipod, and of course they sell something for this situation: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002ZAIMI/102-9236028-3916147?v=glance&n=172282&v=glance If that doesn't work, Amazon: "Apple iPod USB Power Adapter" They is also a battery pack which doesn't appear to charge, but gives 20 hours per set of AAA batteries. Alternately, you could hope a table mate has a laptop and will allow you to charge on it. Seems pretty unlikely. EDIT: There is also this... http://www.handhelditems.com/ipod-power-travel-charger-adapter-p-4423.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britsbest Posted November 12, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The terminals in the "cafe" are dumb. Not able to attach any peripherals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgriff17 Posted November 12, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The terminals in the "cafe" are dumb. Not able to attach any peripherals. You may, however, ask the internet cafe techy guy...he is always sitting there with his laptop. (atleast he is on the cruises I have been on...) He may well just let you plug in your iPod to charge it. Worth a shot! Especially if you tip him :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcsanity Posted November 14, 2005 #7 Share Posted November 14, 2005 My samsung will also accept regular AA batteries which last about 40 hours...will yours do that? Maybe just throw a four pack of those in the suitcase and you are golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
