[X4U] [OT] - Shuffle

[Jon Wever]

As John said: High-power, not high-speed. So you don't need a USB 2.0 
port. A powered hub (USB 1 or 2) is fine, but I thought that had 
already been tried.
However, you definitely can charge a Shuffle using the USB ports on 
either an Airport Express base station or a PlayStation 2. Maybe your 
friend could try that? Although if the powered hub wasn't useful, then 
I guess there might be a more serious issue with the shuffle itself...
Good luck.
