Limited Functionality July 18, 2008
This item is fairly worthless. The dock does charge your iPod, but only when it is plugged into a USB or Firewire port. The remote control also only works when plugged into a USB or Firewire.
If you plan to use this dock remotely - for example in your living room or on a patio through a stereo, TV, or auxillary speakers, then the remote does not function and the iPod does not charge. You could possibly use a USB wall charger to plug in the dock, then hook up to speakers, I did not try this.
An additional major problem is that the volume output is limited. When I connected the dock to my home Sony amplifier (without USB power), I could not get ample volume. The video did play through to my TV, but pathetic sound. Sound could barely be heard, with both iPod and Sony on high volume. Perhaps it must be used with USB power to power an amp of some sort in the dock?
In summary, this dock really only works when powered through the USB by your computer, so you might as well play your video and music straight from iTunes without your iPod at all.
If I had to find one positive note, the remote does work fairly well from 15 feet away, but with a slight lag time.
