Rating: - It's not what you expect...
I understood the dock+remote would allow me to connect my iPod to the audio/video inputs of my equipment and control my iPod remotely. Well, it depends on what you consider "control the iPod remotely" to be. It does allow me to play/pause/skip, but it doesn't allow me to navigate the iPod menu. So, if you want to browse your songs/videos/photos, or if you want to switch from watching a video to listen a song, you need to reach for your iPod and use it. That restricts *a lot* the usefulness of the ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointment
As most of the reviews state, the remote doesn't work the way you would expect (i.e., like it would on Front Row). This takes away most of the reasons to buy the dock. For the price, I would also think that Apple could have thrown in some kind of power supply. So, it's basically an iPod stand with a mostly dysfunctional remote. Bummer...

I upgraded to the Ipod touch from a Gen1 Nano. Needed a new Dock. This one works. Haven't tried to use the remote or anything because its plugged into my computer. If I need to play music, I have a hard drive full of it.

Wow, some of the reviews of this dock are really harsh! Here's my experience:
I bought the dock first and foremost as a dock, i.e., so as not to have my iPhone sitting around loose on the desk using the standard cable. As a dock it works quite well - it's weighted and has a non-skid bottom. This is a universal dock (not to hard to figure out, given its name ...). What that means is that it comes with inserts that fit most Apple personal devices, and they are numbered and labeled ... Read More
Rating: - Bad Apple
The previous version of this product had an S-Video output. This has none. You have to buy a $50 cable from Apple to connect it to a composite video source. Therefore, you have to choose between playing video or having the iPod connected to power. And switch between. S-Video is superior to composite, although modern LCD screens will appear much the same. IMHO, this is a complete step backwards that cost 50 bucks more. That's one bad Apple.
