What others have said is true, it loses its connection unless you are standing still.
There are other flaws: there is no warning when the battery will run out. Some may consider it an advantage that it has its own battery instead of drawing power from the iPod, but you know how much charge is left in the iPod. A second charger would be unnecessary if it drew power from the iPod.
It often has trouble making a connection to the headset.
I strongly recommend against it.

Biggest problem: NOT POWERED OFF THE IPOD! Means you need yet another charger and have to remember to charge yet another item. That means 3 chargers to pack on vacation, and 3 battery sources that can be dead.
I tried to pair this with my iPod video and as other readers have said... it doesn't stay plugged in (even while walking and having it in your pocket). It plugs in rather loosely and has "play" that makes you wonder WHEN it will bend the wrong way and break (leaving the connection stuck in the iPod).
Also it's not built to last. The paint started scratching off on day 1, and it feels very cheaply built. It doesn't give you a clear indiciation of it turning off, so I've often left it on to find it drained when I was ready to use it.

it works great and is easy set up. Only flaw being the keeping it
attached to the Ipod while in motion (walking).

I bought this to use with an Iphone. Yes, it DOES work with Iphone but not perfectly. It really wants to play Ipod audio, and trying to play other formats with this device can be difficult because it thinks all commands are being sent to the Ipod function. But it works! It does stream audio to your bluetooth headset and does integrate with a separate bluetooth link with your phone. The problem is that the connector does not lock into place, and this is a serious flaw in my opinion. It is held in by the friction of the contacts only, and will fall out easily. It is not compatible with many kinds of cases for the iphone, and I would imagine the same problem occurs with Ipod cases. Other than the price, I cannot recommend this product.

This is a five-star design coupled with a 1-star implementation. I'm using it with an in-dash stereo that will stream bluetooth music, not a headset, so the motion problems others experience shouldn't be an issue. But they do seem to be.
The design is marvelous. I get in the, start the car, turn this thing on, plug it into the iPod, and we're off. When the two connect, the stereo will start the iPod playing wherever it left off. The stereo controls on the dash pretty much work as is, so I don't have to find the iPod; i can pause, resume and skip tracks just fine. In this respect, it actually works better than I expected.
The implementation is the problem. The connection skips in and out. The ipod doesn't act like it's coming unplugged. And the problem eventually stops - if I reseat it after it pauses a couple of times. This makes it worthless for short trips. Maybe the rubber band trick one of the other reviewers recommended will help. Then again, I thought it was a "warm up" issue, so maybe not.
