Personally, I find the dock very well and use it for the iPod Touch and the iPhone. Who, I wonder what that is itself again for a dock and how it differs from the iPod Universal Dock, can I explain. The iPod Universal Dock is smaller, has a round infrared sensor and is not compatible with the touch, but still with the iPhone. Now the current Dock: This can also be the 30 or 80 gig of last generation iPod use (Gen. 5 (.5), then the Nano 3rd generation, the iPod Touch and of course the iPhone. Remote control is included, so waqhrscheinlich a bit more expensive. An iPod / iPhone is in the Dock, unfortunately "only" with the help of this fast forwarded and rewound, title and forth to jump back, adjust the volume and turn off then on. For charging and syncing can also reuse the dock. The "Menu" button on the RC you can unfortunately only use with other Apple devices. Man it can also connect to a stereo system, and then with these enjoy the music without having to keep changing CDs. This requires an audio cable with 3.5 mm jack. In addition, the dock has a connection for charger / Apple USB cable, all recently this time lacks an S-Video input. The "old" Dock had such. If you want to view, for example, their movies on the iPod on your TV, the Apple AV cable is required eg components. This then also progressive images are reproduced, provided suitable TV (HDTV). I can connect the dock really only recommend and hope I can help those who, if my review will be read.
