This didn't work with my iPod Touch 32GB ("3rd generation"), which displayed "Charging not supported with this accessory" every time. Apparenty it's a known problem, caused by the cable - the new iPods need cables with a different wiring (although I think the 8GB Touch is OK). If the plug that goes into the iPod has release buttons on the side, it's the old type. The retailer accepted the item back with no problems.
