Product Description
The Apple Universal Dock serves as a convenient and elegant home base for charging, syncing, and more. Through the use of interchangeable inserts called Dock Adapters, it works with iPhone and all iPod models that have a dock connector. So even if you own more than one iPod or iPhone, you can keep just one Dock connected to your computer, stereo, or TV, and when your iPod or iPhone is in the Dock and connected to a stereo or TV, the included Apple Remote lets you experience songs, slideshows, and more from across the room. Just choose a playlist, slideshow, or video, then sit back and enjoy. The Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control, and forward/back buttons for easy control. Any iPhone or iPod with a dock connector can fit perfectly into the Universal Dock through the use of interchangeable inserts called Dock Adapters. You simply insert the Dock Adapter for your particular model, then plug in your iPod. When you want to connect a different-size iPod or iPhone, simply pop out the Dock Adapter and insert another one. Display photos or video on a TV or other video device using a Component AV Cable or Composite AV Cable if you have an iPod that plays video. Different-sized Dock Adaptors allow the use of any iPod or iPhone product with the Universal Dock

 It's not what you expect... November 20, 2008
Leonardo PACH (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
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 remote. (I don't understand how the other 2 reviews could be positive at all...)
Disappointment November 15, 2008
Sebastian Heinz (Madison, WI, USA)
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...
 It... works. November 9, 2008
joerdie (Wishing I was elseware USA)
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.
 Good Dock, Minimally Usable Remote, No Cable October 20, 2008
New England Yankee (Northern New England)
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 in the clamshell box. Typical Apple attention to detail. I downrate to 4 stars as a dock only because it does not come with its own cable, especially irritating because the cable provided with the iPhone is rather short.
As a remote setup, this item has its limitations. You really need to remember, though, that a simple remote is not going to be able to do all the things the interface on your iPod or iPhone can, or do them in the same way. Some results are even a little unexpected until you get used to them. Still usable.
Bad Apple October 2, 2008
Michael B. Adams (Gulf Coast, USA)
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.
