Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod Dock for iPod nano 1G
Customer Review: Not very useful
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Customer Review: useful but overpriced
Summary: 4 Stars
The dock allows you easy access to the nano's line-out interface, and it makes it a lot more convenient to sync your iPod with a computer - instead of rummaging around for cables, you just set your it down in the dock and you're done.
On the other hand, like most iPod accessories, it's outrageously priced. It's nothing more than a molded block of plastic with a couple of wires running through; it can't cost Apple more than $5 each to make. While it's useful enough that it'll probably be worth $30 over the long term, it still feels like a ripoff.
Customer Review: Docking your Nano
Summary: 5 Stars
This dock station is great! I got one cord going from the dock to my computer, and I sure can use less wires around my computer! I love the fact that my iPod is charged and synchronized all at the same time with out having extra cables. The station is small and sleek and takes almost no desk space! Be aware that if you order the dock, it does not come with an adapter for the 1GB Nano, and it does not come with any cables either. This dock is worth the money, not to have your Nano moving around you desk, or even running the risk of knocking it off!Customer Review: Makes your iPod SING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gotta say, this tiny little dock is amazing... it makes it SO EASY to hook your new Nano to just about anything that will receive a stereo mini jack. I tried it at the Apple store at the local mall before I bought it at Amazon. They had it connected to a variety of computers, speakers, and other media devices. It's fantastic how this tiny interface increased the flexibility and usefulness of the newest addition to the iPod family. It's SO COOL! Get one! At this price, buy two!Customer 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.
