Poor Quality badly made

Advantages: you can charge and sync your ipod
Disadvantages: very flimsey and easily broken

Ipod shuffle docking usb station: This is for the tiny little sexy Ipod shuffle the USB cable with integrated Dock is a perfect little seat to pop your iPod for a quick charge or a change of tunes With its long cable you don’t have to keep reaching in behind your pc tower to plug it into the usb when you need to use it. You will obviously need a pc to charge your iPod with this but there is also a Mains charge available (bought separately) Unfortunately ...
...which goes into the iPod is very easily broken, a slight knock to the connector and its damaged and you will need to buy a new one. These are very pricey considering the price of the ipod which comes with a docking station is only around £50 I wouldn’t recommend buying the original Ipod shuffle docking station but shop around for a cheaper more sturdier alternative ...

Nano docks can now be found inexpensively

Advantages: Good industrial design, holds nano neatly, can be found inexpensively
Disadvantages: No Infra red, will not fit in dock with case

The Apple Nano dock is a very simple device that allows the user to plug their iPod nano (1st generation only) into the computer/charger and hold the Nano upright by pushing it into a docking cradle. The dock does not come with any cables and if a charger is required it must be purchased separately. The dock also has a 3.5" minijack which is useful if the user wants to plug the Nano into speakers or a stereo in a convenient and attractive manor. ...
...infra red port, so you can not remotely control the functions of the Nano while it is in the dock. Since the 1st generation Nano has been out of production for around two years, high street stores have been offering this item on clearance and I was able to find it for £1. At a low price like this it is well worth the money, but if you have to pay anywhere close to list price, it really is not worth having an easier way to plug in and unplug your ...

Review of Apple iPod Nano Dock MP3 player docking station

Stylish

Advantages: looks good
Disadvantages: none?

The apple ipod universal dock mp3 player docking station is really fantastic. I used to use the wire that comes with the ipod, to sync it, but it generally just hung down from my usb connecter onto the floor (my computer is low down). I accidently stepped on it and somehow managed to break one of the connecters off which stopped it working. i was now unable to sync or charge my ipod so i went back to where i bought my ipod from in search of a new ...

Does The Belkin Headphone Splitter Sound As Good As It Looks?

Advantages: Looks the piece. Sound quality is as good as it gets.
Disadvantages: Slight decrease in volume limit but more headphones does not affect this.

The Belkin Headphone splitter in my opinion is one of the best splitters out on the market money can buy. It has a marvling 5 socket adaption for headphones. I bought this a while ago and have been pleased with it ever since. Its sleek design almost looks like a concept. The design has been very well thought over and looks a lot more the piece than the small 2 way splitters. In the picture you see a green wire connecting to the mp3 player. Another ...
...players playing at the same time so you can create your own mash up tunes with your friends. I have used this with 4 friends and it truly works and doesn't loose any sound quality the high number of headphones you go. Also it does not drain the mp3 players battery as you would think it might. All I would say is that it brings the maximum volume down a little bit when you plug the green wire in but it does not go quieter the more headphones are attached. ...

Review of Belkin F8Z274EA RockStar Multi Headphone Splitter

Save your Touch from scratches

Advantages: Works, cheap
Disadvantages: Headphone socket may be covered

...ones at over £200. The Belkin was on Amazon at only £4.99, though had apparently been on sale at closer to £20. I thought it was worth a go as I was going to have to buy without seeing it in the flesh, and fiver seemed worth a punt. The case is leather, and comes in black or brown [mine is brown]. It's mainly plain leather, though there is a hexagonal pattern on the bottom quarter of the front. The cover is kept shut by a Velcro fastening and the ...
...has been around since the iPod Touch was introduced in version 1; mine is version 2 but it fits fine. There are gaps at the bottom to plug in the USB cable and for the headphone socket [this on is almost covered by part of the case, but is usable]. At the top of the case you can access the on/off switch, and you can also use the volume controls [though not when the case is shut]. In the pack there is also a screen protector. I missed this at first, ...
