Adapter, but no cable2
Note that this product includes only the AC adapter but no additonal cabling to attach to the Zune. So if you were thinking about having one cable to hook to your PC and another to charge if you are away from you PC, remember to take the Zune cable with you. For $29.95 I expected them to include the 25 cent cable.

It does its job... at a rather high price.4
This does exactly what it is supposed to do: Charge the Zune. I'm not sure if you could use it to charge an ipod or any other device with a USB charging mechanism though. Also it's rather expensive considering that it's doesn't come with a sync cable (Apple's official one doesn't either, but there are third party AC adapters that are just as good that do). It IS rated for 100 - 240V input, so it should work outside the US as long as you have an American style two prong outlet.

EDIT: While I'm sure this is common knowledge you could use this to charge your ipod. Though a bit bigger than Apple's charger it's not quite as wide and as such may work better in an outlet. Plus its frosted black looks better than stark white.

Zune charger4
It does the job. It charges the Zune from an electrical outlet without needing to be connected to a PC or XBox 360. As noted earlier, you do need the sync cable to connect the Zune to the charger. It seems a little over-sized for what it is, but then this matches the fact that it's over-priced.
