5 out of 5 stars It... works.   November 9, 2008

I upgraded to the Ipod touch from a Gen1 Nano. Needed a new Dock. This one works. Haven't tried to use the remote or anything because its plugged into my computer. If I need to play music, I have a hard drive full of it.


4 out of 5 stars Good Dock, Minimally Usable Remote, No Cable   October 20, 2008
New England Yankee (Northern New England)
Wow, some of the reviews of this dock are really harsh! Here's my experience:

I bought the dock first and foremost as a dock, i.e., so as not to have my iPhone sitting around loose on the desk using the standard cable. As a dock it works quite well - it's weighted and has a non-skid bottom. This is a universal dock (not to hard to figure out, given its name ...). What that means is that it comes with inserts that fit most Apple personal devices, and they are numbered and labeled in the clamshell box. Typical Apple attention to detail. I downrate to 4 stars as a dock only because it does not come with its own cable, especially irritating because the cable provided with the iPhone is rather short.

As a remote setup, this item has its limitations. You really need to remember, though, that a simple remote is not going to be able to do all the things the interface on your iPod or iPhone can, or do them in the same way. Some results are even a little unexpected until you get used to them. Still usable.
