I just wish the snooze button was more accessible when an iPhone is docked...you kinda have to reach over it to hit snooze. At least it still works with the new iPhone 3GS.

The simple user's guide that it came with is good enough for you to learn your way around. 2) The top cover where the buttons are doesn't accumulate finger prints. 3) The 'mega expand' feature doesn't distort the sound. Cons: 1) The power plug is too big and heavy. It is also permanently attached to the machine. 2) It somehow lacks the charm of the tweets in high frequencies, but you can boost it with your ipod EQ setting. I'm satisfied with this ipod dock. Price is reasonable for the sound quality and the functionalities/features as well. I got one of this ipod dock and here are additional pros and cons I’ve observed so far:

Do you happen to know if the dock will work with a Nano (2nd Gen)? Thanks! Hi there, came across your review as I’m thinking of picking up one of these.

There is a dial on the back of the unit that you turn and a 'back rest' pushes out to support any docked device. It's basically a universal dock without inserts. I'm sure it would support them for specific devices. Derek: strangely, the mark I model on display at Future Shop had a dock insert but the mark II didn’t come with anything.
