This unit follows the clean simple design of the ipod perfectly. Such a simple design yet I wouldn\'t want to be without it now. The dock is very solidly built with a weighted base so the it stays in place and doesn\'t fall over when the ipod is sitting in it. A range of adaptors are provided so that the same base works with most of the ipod range (new adaptors are now provided with the ipods themselves). How many times have you gone to connect ...

...stereo in conjuction with the apple remote, and in these conditions the universal dock is excellent it works well with the remote and the two are very responsive.

Also a good stand for it to sit there and look pretty :) and it comes ... Read review
