Apple iPod Mini Dock

Average rating: Stars

Not much use unless you have two.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad Apple created the dock because I would hate to leave my iPod Mini lying all over the house and at work getting scratched up. This pretty much has not a huge use nor is it a necessity unless you want to keep your iPod from being scratched up. I have mine at home next to my computer and when I'm not using it I dock it but other than that not much more.

Apple iPod Mini Dock - Apple Computer

A great way to connect your I-pod to your stereo.

I recently purchased the dock for my I-pod mini. I had read a lot of the critiques, and for me there was one use making it worthwhile: connecting the Ipod to a conventional stereo system.

- The dock has a heftier feel than I expected and is quite solid. It would be nice if it had a bit of a backrest, however, as clicking through songs when the ipod is in the dock sometimes requires two hands (one supporting the back of the Ipod).

- If you're only going to connect the ipod to your computer, then this dock offers little for you other than the aesthetic (and safety) of having your ipod sitting upright.

- The big plus for the dock is the Line Out jack on the back of it. It is a true line out -- not modified by volume or tone controls -- so it is a much safer way to transmit music from your ipod to your stereo receiver than the headphone jack is. The Line Out jack takes a standard stereo mini-headphone plug, so simply buy a $4 mini-headphone to stereo RCA cable and voila!

I purchased an Ipod so that I could have my music collection with me at the gym, pool, etc without carrying CDs. Now, with the dock attached to my stereo, I have the added convenience of being able to go through my music collection at home without going through my CDs, as well. A great addition, and I've given it 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it is slightly overpriced.

READ THIS!!

After considering the dock as an accessory for a future ipod, I realised that it was not as I thought, a way of charging the ipod away from a computer, but a simple device made for specific use to improve the quality of charging only. A sort of lip liner of makeups: not essential, but a nice addition.

If you are looking for something to charge your ipod with away from your computer I reccomend the Apple iPod USB Power Adapter M9837LL/A as, from reading it seems this is the device I was looking for in the first place! I give this dock five stars because in theory it does what it does. May I add this is all in theory, as I am considering buying an ipod mini and I am looking up essentials for it. If you are interested my list includes:
