Digital camera reviews of Apple Universal Dock for iPod (White)(OLD VERSION)
Digital camera Review: IPOD Docking Station
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this with my Apple Composite Cable. I like the dock. A little pricey, but what from apple isn't.Digital camera Review: If you're in need of a dock/stand for your iPod Touch...
Summary: 3 Stars
this is the product to buy.
I bought this knowing full well that the accompanying remote was sketchy at best. This is true; the remote works quite well to change songs on a playlist or to change the volume on the iPod, but the menu button is not functional (at least not with my system). I was, however, in desperate need of a dock/stand for my new iPod, as iPods left sitting tend to get knocked around, and so I'm happy with the purchase. The universal dock is attractive, the remote is cute (if not fully functional), and the dock keeps my iPod up and off of hard surfaces (and hopefully more fully protected).
Digital camera Review: It's A Rotten Apple!

To the folks who've dealt with the Apple mp3 problems: I share your pain!
I purchased the Apple universal adapter with remote because I thought it would be great to see and hear the downloads from my iPod Classic on a large screen and a better audio system. Wrong!
I attached the non-apple cables to the tv. Nothing. I tried arranging them every which way with no luck. I returned the "not-Apple" cables and purchased genuine Apple cables. ($40.00 more than generic)
Then I tried to use the remote control. Since I was unable to get the "menu" button to function, I looked to the Apple Universal Dock Manual to figure out what was wrong. Guess what? There was no manual in the box or so it seemed). I tried Apple on-line support for about 6 - 7 hours: I could not find an article that provide assistance with the remote. I searched the box again. Lo an behold I found the "compartment" where the manual was hidden. (The people who developed the packaging for the iPod products sure didn't account for the "I can't find anything" consumers like me). When I read that the "menu" button has no real function, I thought what the "f**k" and ended up in this "user's review" forum.
I haven't tried the cables, and given my experience, I may just return the cables, dock and remote, satisfied that I learned a lesson about Apple products.
I thought Sony was the worst with after-market rip-offs. Congratulations Apple, the title is yours!
Digital camera Review: It's not what you expect...
Summary: 1 Stars
I understood the dock+remote would allow me to connect my iPod to the audio/video inputs of my equipment and control my iPod remotely. Well, it depends on what you consider "control the iPod remotely" to be. It does allow me to play/pause/skip, but it doesn't allow me to navigate the iPod menu. So, if you want to browse your songs/videos/photos, or if you want to switch from watching a video to listen a song, you need to reach for your iPod and use it. That restricts *a lot* the usefulness of the remote. (I don't understand how the other 2 reviews could be positive at all...)Digital camera Review: It... works.

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.
