I don't know if the XDA does but I usually charge my ipod off the front USB port on my Comcast DVR

Believe it or not, I went to a Computer Store to purchase an A--B USB cable and the clerk did not understand, or did not know there was such a cable, until I told him it is just a standard USB "printer" cable.  Bingo! That he understood. You would think someone who works in a computer store would have some basic knowledge of the standard cables used with them, but I have found that more often than not they don't. Sad, isn't it? ;D I now assume the clerk will not know anything. |
