Charging iPods with 5V?
I've seen countless tutorials on how to make a battery iPod charger, most with a 5V regulator and a 9V battery, which I've tried with mixed success, but some of them recommend splitting the 5V across the power and ground ports on the USB connector, and other recommend sending some power to the data lines, what's up with this? Are these things that need to be done to properly charge a USB device? Does MintyBoost do that? Thanks.
