Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod Dock for iPod nano 1G
Digital camera Review: No Cord Included - Pretty Useless
Summary: 2 Stars
I misplaced my ipod cord and thought this dock would come with one, but its just the dock without the cord. The only thing it's useful for is having the Nano docked and stand in it as opposed to laying it down while charging. In terms of utility value, I wouldn't pay more than $5 for this thing. I'm surprised they got away with a $29.99 retail value. I guess you're paying for the name.Digital camera Review: Not Necessary component

This is just not needed for your Ipod...there are so many other great docking items out there such as speakers,alarm clocks etc we have never used it! It was a waste of money!Digital camera Review: Not very useful

I don't find this to be that useful. The only benefit is that it holds the iPod upright (it has a line out feature, but that's not why I purchased it and I won't use that). I assumed (incorrectly) that it came with it's own power cord, so that it would, by itself, charge the iPod. You must purchase a separate plug or use the USB jack that it came with. I wanted an addition means of charging the nano. Had I known that it was just a base, I wouldn't have purchased this item, certainly not for $30. For me, the utility of this isn't worth more than a few bucks, and I'm not exactly the miser type.Digital camera Review: Perfect answer!

I tried hooking up my iPod Nano to the home theater system and had to crank up the volume WAY up both on the iPod and the HT system to get desired levels of sound. With this dock, the sound is back! Color-matched with the iPod, this is a recommended accessory for all who want to listen to their iPod songs on a bigger sound system.
My alternatives were - buy a Bose Soundock ($299) for direct usage or a Bose iPod Dock ($129) to use the way I am using it now - via the Apple iPod dock! A third alternative - which I have used in the past - is to use Altec Lansing inMotion desktop speakers, which are pretty good, but can't compete with bigger sounding HT.
Can't go wrong with a $15 price tag on this (and a $15 MIR when it appears) :-)
Digital camera Review: Review put in simple words :D

I bought the nano dock for my iPod nano, you must buy this dock because its not original with the package and you dont want to end up having your nano on the bed or the desk or in the dogs mouth ;) the dock is cool for charging and sync. purposes.
Know that the dock has input for charging and output for headphones, and FYI the headphone output has a "FIXED" volume level so you cant control the nano when its docked to increas/decrease the volume.
One last thing is that when you sync the nano you are not able to use the nano as it will be in charge mode.
"Dont say wheres the power charger, because it charges from the USB cable"
Chao
