Hello guys I was surfing the web when I saw a tutorial about making an iPod charger it was an iPod touch 3G released within the iPhone 3GS, so I am willing to built one for my 3GS. It's pretty simple all you need is some wires, a 9V battery, a 9V battery clip. 5V regulator, a solder, soldering iron and a USB socket. So what do you think, is it legit?

It would surely work. Although i don't recommend using the regular 9v battery, as a linear voltage regulator will eat through it quickly.

You're right I heard that a 7.2V rechargeable battery will fit the job.
And another thing, if you know how to build that thing post a reply because that guy( who made the tutorial) is very messy. Any help would be appreciated.
The guy who posted the instructable is a bit messy, and yes using a 9V rechargeable battery is better to use than the regular one (the 7.2V rechargeable batteries are not common to find), but the design works.

Do you think the electronic map of the project is right?(will this work)
these are capacitors not resistors. And yes, you have to use them to eliminate noise on the input and output terminals. If you dont the 7805 will malfunction .

Thanks man
and you should always add a diode on the + node at the DC input to protect the circuit from reverse polarity
