You don't. I charge my 4G iPod from both the car and the dock I have
attached to the loungeroom stereo which has the firewire cable
plugged into a powerpack. I only attach my iPod to the computer once
a month or so to fiddle with playlists or whenever I need it for
transferring data. It's never attached long enough to get a full
charge.
The newer USB iPods can all be charged from anything that will supply
power to a USB port which I think (but haven't checked) would include
one of those powered USB hubs, even when not attached to a computer.
Carl.
