Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod Dock for iPod nano 1G
Customer Review: Thanks for nothing Apple
Summary: 1 Stars
I should have know that Apple will try to nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING! They must think that if they are locking you into a single computer for iTunes, that you won't need to carry the cable around that they give you with the iPod. I can't believe that they charge $30 for a base and then want you to spend another $20-$30 for another cable to carry around. I won't be buying ANY accessories from Apple again. I will be supporting other vendors's products. Why not throw in a $2 cable & charge $35 for the package. Think of all the ill will that is generated by the surprise need to go out and get a cable. I do hate the evil empire of MS but Apple is becoming just as evil. The only difference is Apple has the "cool" factor going for it. Don't buy this product. Buy something similar from an outside vendor that throws in a cable - probably at a cheaper price.Customer 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) :-)
Customer 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
;)
Customer Review: It Won't Fit - Here's How to Fix it
Summary: 1 Stars
It's crazy that it doesn't fit the new nanos, isn't it?! I put in my metallic green 4G and the width of the opening is about 2 millimeters to short! I thought, "Let's see if this thing can stand a little plastic surgery." I bought my husband one of those Dremel drilling tools for Christmas last year, and it works like a charm to drill out the excess plastic. At first there was a small ridge that was making my iPod connect and then disconnect from iTunes - that puppy has got to be completely flush. So he took it the Dremel tool to it again, and it works just like it should! Of course, I'm betting the one-year warranty on the dock is now void, hehe.Customer Review: Caveat Emptor!

I got this as a Christmas gift today. I was excited at first, but I'm afraid that I'll have to concur with the other bad reviews here. That hurts, because generally I'm an Apple fan. But my new aluminum Nano just barely doesn't fit, and though "surgery" may work, I'm not going to fix something that ought to work correctly in the first place. Yes, it says "1st Generation," but the buyer has to be pretty alert to realize that the new ones are very, very, slightly the wrong size to use this. And the lack of a power supply cord is galling. Apple gets a lot right, but they dropped the ball completely on this one.
