ncoday's Full Review: Apple iPod 1st Generation 5 GB (MAC) MP3 Player
This AC Adapter is very useful as you do not want to constantly charge your iPod throught the Firewire connection plugged into your computer!
There have been reported issues with people using the firewire cable to re-charge you iPod while it is plugged in. However you do not want to do this as there have been reports of serious issues with the firewire connection failing if you do this.
I use mine on a regular basis to keep my very awesome iPod charged and ready to go.
You should also get the CompUSA TAP (extended warranty) for your iPod so you will be protected if it does stop working on you!
