When unpacking a flutter once against every dock adapter for all kinds of iPod generations and an associated removal tool. The iPig itself spreads in about 15cm in all dimensions and makes a first impression cuddly. From the but one should not be fooled, because the first plugging brettert a decent sound against what one hardly can believe in size. One should of course not Bose sound expected, but with standard stereo systems, as they are in every other youth room, can keep the thing easy, apart from the times stereo aspect.
As an accessory there is a small remote control, with which the device on and off and can be controlled in terms of heights, depths and volume. Furthermore, you can control via the remote control by the iPod. That will not happen so super vonstatten as on the unit itself, but is quite usable. It lies a jack cable in order to bring other devices via 3.5mm plug to the iPig can.
I personally use the iPig with an iPhone 3GS, which is also a smooth handover. The iPhone raises when connecting a message that there can be potential problems, if you do not offset the iPhone in airplane mode, and provides for the purpose also like the matching button on. The interference here belongs essentially, that makes the volume settings from the iPig autonomously. But this does not always occur, but under what circumstances I am unable to say. It is therefore difficult to recommend to investigate the alarm and disconnect the iPhone while its saturated Lung from the radio network. To disconnect it chooses automatically power, so you here has no great attitude stress, apart from the one-time confirmation during initialisation.
Docked devices are naturally recharged during operation, so that unlimited music enjoyment is not handicapped.
From me there for the design, for the sound and of course for the price here full five stars. Highly recommended.
