DangerNerd answered Sunday December 24 2006, 1:17 am: Hi there,
The iPod Nano charges through the computer's USB port. If you have the dock(cradle) attached to an appropriate USB port, then it will charge while in the dock(cradle.)
By appropriate USB port, I mean to say one with enough current to allow charging.
You want to use a USB port directly on the computer, rather than an extension port (hub) on a monitor, or keyboard as these are low power USB ports and will not have the Ooomph! to get the job done.
If you have a USB hub, and it has a power pack (wall wart, power supply, etc) then it is OK to charge off ports from there, as it has that extra power to get the job done.
Here is a reference from the Apple help site about how to charge and sync iPods, including the Nano:
BooYouWhore answered Sunday December 24 2006, 1:14 am: i have the nano as well and i believe that thats right. Its the cord that you plug into your computer as well. When you plug it in to update your ipod with songs and stuff like that, thats the same. Make sure that when you charge it, you don't leave it all day or night and don't charge it before its completely dead because it has memory in the battery so if you always charge it too soon then it will get to that place faster every time you use it and if you charge it too long, you can burn out the battery.

All you have to do is plug it into your computer with the cable it comes with and it charges itself. Which is what I do. Or you can just buy an ipod charger at a store like best buy.
