June 3, 200521 yr I'm looking at buying this USB 2.0 Hub of ebay:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...6774198724&rd=1in its descripition is says it is a "Self USB port bus powered" so does this mean i can charge my iPod shuffle from it??Thanks
June 4, 200521 yr It means that the hub gets it's power from the usb port, not an external power supply. Many hubs with a power supply have a switch so you can use them in both modes. A hub with a seperate supply would probably be better to use as a charger.
June 4, 200521 yr I second the recommendation of a hub with a separate power supply.If you run the USB-powered hub to charge your iPod, you'll get very poor response from anything else connected to the hub.
