It appears that Apple have removed one of the ways to charge iPods and iPhone in the latest generation (3GS iPhone and 3rd Gen iPod Touch). Previous version have allowed charging through either the USB (5V) or Firewire (12V) connections in the standard 30 Pin cable. Now only USB is supported.
The result is that any device that uses the Firewire to charge will no longer charge. This includes Speaker Docks, In Car Adapters and Mains Chargers.
I have personal experience of speaker docks (Klipsch) that are advertised as supporting charging on all 30 Pin connectors that do not charge, obviously attempting to charge over Firewire!
There is a solution available from Apple. It is called a Scosche Passport. There are various available to fit different applications (Docks, In Car).
