Summary: To Mac Or Not To Mac
Comment: Those of you who are pouting that this is an overprized Mac accessory aren't clearly not Mac people --- and for that reason, you probably don't own an Ipod, either (and another brand's comprable MP3 player).

You're either a Mac person or you're not --- Mac people tend to want good performance, good appearance... and they don't care what it costs.

From a technical standpoint, this thing works great. I also use it to plug in my USB mini-drives and it's flawless. If you want it and you care about the Mac-image, then don't 2nd guess and buy a knockoff or USB extension cord. There's no such thing as buyer's remorse for Mac addicts...

Summary: makes my life easier
Comment: This is great, my tower is on the floor so instead of bending down each time I need to charge or change songs I can just plug it in to the nice small dock sitting on my desk. I have had no problems whatsoever with it.

Summary: it's a friggin' USB Extension Cable!!!
Comment: How can they even call it a dock connector? It's just a mere usb extension cable, nothing more. u know what? just go and buy urself a USB hub for like $20, and u'll get not only the supposed dock connector, but also, u'll get a few more ports. They need to reduce the price of this thing, no way does this merit $30. If they had at least added a line out and made it a two headed usb cable, then, it might be worth it.

Summary: Looks versus value
Comment: Like matching furniture? Suits? Socks? How about a USB extention just for your iPod Shuffle?

That's right, that is all this is: a USB extention cord. Admitedly, most of us need one. The USB ports are on the back of the machine, and reaching around to plug in the iPod is just too much of a pain.

The question is, why pay so much for just an extention cord? Looks. Style. That, and it is an Apple approved device for an Apple made iPod.

If you have the cash, fine. If not, no big deal. Just doesn't have that Apple look.

Summary: What's the point?
Comment: What's the point of getting a dock for thirty dollars when you can just get a USB extension cord for (at most) 10 bucks?
