Failed upon installation - Iomega replaced with a REFURBISHED drive.......2007-12-31
I do not recommend this drive, or the Iomega company. I bought it from Amazon and it failed immediately upon installation. Iomega's support states returns can only be made through them, so I returned it to Iomega and a REFURBISHED replacement was sent to me! I did not pay full price for a hard drive that failed for someone else!!!!!! I contacted Iomega again to return it for a refund, and they said I couldn't since I bought it from Amazon.
I am not risking my data on a refurbished drive. Now I have to try to make some of my money back by selling it on ebay, or elsewhere. I bought the Maxtor 750 One Touch (firewire) and have been very happy with that.
Disk disconnects unexpectedly.......2007-12-30
I am using with MacBook Pro and OS Leopard Time Machine. The message to the effect that "unexpected usb device removal data may be lost" will come up intermittently. This got worse as time went on. Decided to return the drive. The USB connector on the back seems loose.
A Great Hard-Drive (Especially If You Stand It on End).......2007-12-27
After using this product for a few months as portable storage and backup space for some of my larger media files, I'm extremely happy with its performance. It's small and lightweight, and the data writing and transfer speeds are great, so it's perfect if you need to transfer really big files from one computer to another. It's plug-and-play and the USB 2.0 cable comes with it in the box, so it should be no more trouble to hook up to any given system than a USB flash drive. Overall, it performs very dependably, and it looks great (by coincidence, it just happens to match the case on my computer).
One bit of practical advice: in my experience, the drive tends to run a lot cooler and quieter if you stand it on end using the little plastic clip-on stand that comes with it. It still works fine if you lay it flat (it's got little feet on the bottom to stand on and everything), but it will eventually start warming up the surface it's sitting on, and start getting a bit hotter. So, if you're planning to use it for hours at a time (which I've done without problems plenty of times), you might want to consider using the stand.
Iomega 500 GB external HD.......2007-12-26
Compact, 5 inches tall in its vertical saddle and 1-1/2 inches wide ... very fast and quiet; I am only aware that it is active when I see my Mac displaying the continuous backup feature (Time Machine) incorporated into the new Leopard OS10.5 software. It's a smooth operator!
Piece of junk.......2007-12-22
Unfortunately amazon.com wouldn't let me give it zero stars. Nothing worked. Starting with the AC adapter. Returned product and re-ordered the LaCie 500GB which works BEAUTIFULLY! (And looks so much better.) How Apple could have actually endorsed this product in tandem with Leopard is beyond me.

Product Description
BELKIN F8E464 - The iPod Battery Backup Pack powers your iPod with replaceable batteries - even when its internal battery pack is drained. It's a great solution for long plane or train trips, hikes, or anytime you don't have access to an AC outlet.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Belkin F8E464 Backup Battery Pack for iPod is a great solution for long plane trips, bus rides, hikes, or any other time where you are going to be without easy access to an AC power outlet from which to recharge your iPod. Made expressly for use with the Apple iPod, this backup battery pack runs on four AA batteries, and provides emergency power to your iPod for up to 15 or 20 hours once its own internal battery has run out.
Simple and easy to use, this unit is constructed of durable white plastic that complements your iPod, and secures to the back of your iPod via two compact suction cups that protect your iPod's finish. The Belkin backup battery has a built-in dock connector that plugs in to the bottom of your iPod to provide power, an LED charge-level monitor that lets you know when you need a fresh set of batteries, and a hold switch that prevents its accidental powering on or off and lets you determine whether you want to run on your external batteries, or save said batteries until your iPod's battery runs dry. Compatible with older iPods--such as the iPod 3G--the Belkin F8E464 is backed by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
What's in the Box
Belkin F8E464 backup battery pack with dock connector, 4 AA batteries, 2 extra suction cups, a user's manual and warranty information.

Could be better.......2007-08-02
For the 30 bucks that I spent on it, I was minimally impressed. The very first road trip that I used it on, it died out in 3 hours.
The batteries were fresh out of the pack as well.
Another thing is that it will not work with the case I have on my iPod. It's one of those snug fit Incase brands. It fits just fine when I charge in my computer, however, it will not stay in with the battery pack on.
My Recommendation:
If you are going on a road trip, invest in the car charger.
Great for iPod - How about the iPhone.......2007-07-15
I've been using this rather bulky power bolster for my iPod on long trips, and it works well. Leaving now for a trip with my iPhone, I'm wondering how this will work with that device. Anyone have any experience with that?
A little bulky, but quite effective.......2007-06-08
The battery backup is a great way to extend the battery life of your iPod. It uses suction cups to attach to the back of your iPod. It is a great way to extend the time between charges. It is a little bulky, but works well. It is roughly the same size as my 60GB iPod.
A life saver for a long plane flight........2007-05-11
I have a nano, and had a 14 hour lane flight ahead of me. This unit says it does not work with a nano, but by using a rubber band, I was good to go.
It works great! used it both on the outbound and return leg, and the batteries never got below 1/2 (almost 25 hours of playing time.)
Perfect for long/overseas flights!.......2007-05-05
I picked this up to use with my video iPod before a trip from the US to South Africa and it did exactly what I needed it for. As I was going to be on the plane for a long time, I didn't want to be without my music and movies on my beloved iPod. I popped a fresh set of AAs in before the trip and had some spares with me (but never needed them) and it worked perfectly.
The key is to not use this as a charger. I just made sure I had it plugged into the iPod every time I used it on the plane. That way only the AAs were being used and my internal iPod battery never lost charge.
If you are traveling overseas or doing long flights, this is a must have.
