From Belkin's site.


-- "Powers and charges your iPod nano through included mobile power cord."


edit: pricegrabber reviews. Someone there also mentions the charging cord.

Review, looks like it needs to be plugged into the cigarette lighter.

Yeah, that's not possible. The new shuffle is charged through a stereo minijack, but that's only because it draws power through the USB connection on the other end of the cable. Hence, the included cigarette adapter.
