no to iPod charger, but there is a cheap alternate charger. From what I understand you can use a PSP (Sony's portable gaming system) charger that is available for $10 or so from Best Buy, Wal-mart...etc. The USB charger on the 300 has to have a "host mode" USB on the charging end, like a laptop or desktop PC. The iPod charger base is not a host mode device..... hope that helps....
I plan on getting a cheap PSP charger at Wal-mart today, I will let you know how it works..... |

Does anyone have the model number for this charger? I just checked Best Buy and it didn't appear they had any PSP Chargers with the Mini USB plug, and they wanted almost $30.00 for the ones they did have...

You need a PSP charger with the barrel plug, not mini USB.

Okay, thanks! My PRS300 is wrapped and under the tree, so I was guessing at the type of connector! I guess I should wait till after Christmas to get one so I get the right one! Thanks for the info!

Have a look at this thread - post #15 has a photo - they work perfectly and are very reasonably priced.
