Paired up with the Apple USB Power Adaptor This Could Be Something.
Written by SS from Winnipeg

I was ordering a bunch of cables and decided to throw this item into my order on a whim.
First off, I absolutely did not want a…Read more 'Universal' dock. I didn't want to muck around with adaptors and other ugly things that would make my 1st generation Nano fit into a dock. This fits the bill.
Secondly I had read reviews that no cable is included with this. When I spoke to the Apple Store representative they advised my it just uses the same USB cable that came with my Nano. That was perfect (although I suppose not great for those that need a replacement).
It arrived and I set it up in two seconds. Nice, pretty, and sturdy.
I plugged in my iPod and nothing happened. No syncing or anything. I closed and reopened iTunes and it recognized it, synced and everything worked fine.
After looking at the setup I realize, other than looking pretty (by not having my old cord dangling around), and needing to always fish around to plug and unplug the cord all the time, there really isn't much use for this. However, I think the thirty bucks is kind of work it to plop the ol' iPod down easier (i use it so much).
The line out is a nice bonus. If it had been a year ago when i had gotten this dock it would have been so much more useful. Currently I have my iMac connected to my home theatre with other cables. Back then, my computer was far away from my stereo so this would have been a great answer to being able to just plug in my iPod to the stereo. I would recommend purchasing the Apple USB Power Adaptor to go along with it if this is the setup you would like.
I actually may get another one, with the Apple USB Power Adaptor just to be able to plug it in either in my bedroom, or at work! Then again, there are many other iPod alternatives that actual come with speakers and such. I just fancy the sleek fitting this has... like I said, I hate the universal docks.(10 of 17 people found this review useful)

A nice EXTRA!
Written by CR from Mesa

Ive had a dock for my mini and now my nano and felt I could add in my two cents: Having a dock verus not having a dock is simply…Read more a question of convience. While it makes your Ipod look pretty while it charges, it adds no real extra functionality to it.
So if youre wanting your desktop to look sharp go with it. It works well and is solidly built. But if your looking for somthing to extend the use of your Ipod I would suggest you move along in a quiet non-fanboy manner.(677 of 906 people found this review useful)

Useless Nano Dock
Written by PC from San Angelo

The nano dock is fairly useless. Besides a professional look, it serves no extra purpose, especially for $30.00. It must always be…Read more connected to my computer to charge, meaning my computer has to always be on. Why cant they make the dock have a power adapter if we wanted to take it on the go? It really sucks if your traveling, especially if you arent taking a laptop. I was thinking I could take the dock to the hotel room and charge it, but obviously I need a computer in order to do so.
Secondly, if I am taking my laptop, I might as well listen to all my songs in iTunes. And furthermore, there's really no point in having the line output, as you can:
A: Play all your iTunes songs on your computer anyway.
B: Plug in a stereo to the headphones output.
In conclusion, the nano dock is utterly useless and a waste.(706 of 1012 people found this review useful)

Necessary? ... no, Worthless? ... definitely not
Written by TS from Pittsburgh

Well ... the dock does add one feature many might desire--the line out. If you plan to send signal to any amp/speaker setup, the …Read moreline out is the optimal send as compared to the headphone out.
There is a difference between these 2 ... line out is proper line level w/ relatively flat response (what most equipment wants to "see") ... the headphone out is at least, I believe, EQ'd slightly to compensate for the reponse of headphones -- slightly different ouput level too.
You get the correct line level through the included cable (for playing the Nano through your computer), but the dock is a good thing to have around for other speaker/amp setups.
I definitely prefer the line level in comnination w/ other audio equipment.
