I did a little research on this (why I don't know, I guess I'm bored, I actually use & love my Zune for music playing) and it turns out there are 12v and 5v charging pins. Many chargers use the 12v pins, but Apple removed the 12v pins in the latest iPods. Hence, anything that charges via 12v won't work anymore.
The reason why apple did this is quite obvious...by not taking 12v they need one less voltage regulator, saving board space and money. Basically they just offload it onto the charging device instead.
