Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Dock for iPod 3G (White)

Customer Review: Good idea
Summary: 5 Stars

Some folks might debate the wisdom of obtaining something whose only function is as a pass through.

But I'm not a fan of leaving my expensive electonics lying about, and it's a good place to put it where it's handy and always charged up.

The line out port will be put to use hooked into my home entertainment system with my 2nd dock. (And after picking up the new remote.) It so happens that I have a Firewire port on that device, so I should be able to charge it there too.

The autosynching works for me well. The only drawback is I can't use it fully with Windows if I turn on the automatic autosync, that is I can't use it to haul files to and from the office and synchronize with iTunes. (Note: Your system may not have this problem, but mine did. I suspect that's the nature of a LOT of sync problems with Windows and the iPods you hear about. Yes, it is solvable, I did because I spent all night beating my head into the wall when it wouldn't work. Install your drivers, and change the device drive mapping in Windows 2000/XP -- use a "new" drive letter that is unused by any other device. Then restore the iPod to factory defaults. Then it syched from iTunes no problem. Best I can figure it's some kind of Plug and Pray issue, but nothing on Apple/Windows websites about it.)
