Universal Dock
Review of Apple iPod Universal Dock MP3 player docking station by
mattwilko92
Advantages: Line out, s-video out, charge, sync, stand, remote control.
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it is.
...First of all, i purchased this when buying my 30GB black, a couple of things made me like this docking station, i prefer plugging it into my surround sound system so i this is why i went for it has a 3.5mm line out. Then, i could watch my music videos, using the 'S-VIDEO' out on the back of the dock. And i can charge/sync my ipod using the apple socket at the back. Only problem i found was, if you want to control your ipod remotely you have to purchase the apple remote. Which is another £20 in the shops, what i would reccommend which is what i did, was purchase a apple remote of ebay, obviously you might not be as lucky as me, but i managed to get one for £11 inc delivery off there.
Also a good stand for it to sit there and look pretty :) and it comes with all the adapters to fit all ipods....

Once it's dead, it's dead and you need to go out and buy a new one. However, the camera dock is supplied with an Ni-MH rechargeable battery. The dock is attached to the mains and to your PC via the USB cable that came with the camera, and the idea is that you simply plug the camera directly into the dock and it automatically downloads your pictures onto your computer and recharges your battery. This seemed like a pretty good idea and not too expensive at £45.00.
In the box you get the Camera Dock itself, a 2 pronged and a 3 pronged power cable to attach to the 7-volt AC adapter, a rechargeable battery, a universal camera dock insert (in case I had...
