Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Bose Sound Dock (2nd Generation)

Advantages: Incredible sound from such a small unit, good build quality
Disadvantages: Price

...I bought this unit in November this year. There are two models, the original sound dock which I think is about £199 and the second generation one (the one I bought) which was £279 from John Lewis. The second generation one is basically the same as the first except: a) it has a rechargeable battery b) it has a swing out dock c) it has an auxiliary (3.5mm) jack input If you just want a basic model, then go for the first gen one. I got the second gen one because I thought the battery was a useful addition as is the auxiliary 3.5mm input - I have mine connected to an apple airport express that streams itunes from my laptop to my bedroom although I have used it in a friends house with my ipod too. The sound quality is good for its size which is about the same as a hardback book and it weighs in at about 1 kilo. You can take...

What's up Dock?

Advantages: recharges your camera whilst providing easy download
Disadvantages: Slow and sometimes unreliable

...With digital media becoming more and more accessible, companies are striving to make things easier for those of us who are technically challenged. One of the fore-runners in this quest are Kodak with their Easyshare system. The Easyshare system is, quite simply, a system designed to make sharing your pictures easy. Kodak produce a number of cameras at different prices and with different features in the Easyshare range and have then designed a simple docking system to make transferring your pictures to your computer or TV screen a piece of cake. Coupled with branded software that enables you to manipulate and organise your photos there's not much more to it than that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DO I NEED ONE? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have reached this point and don't own, or are not about to own a Kodak Easyshare digital camera then...

Review of Kodak EasyShare Camera Dock 6000 Docking station

Can't say enough good things about the Bose SoundDock

Advantages: size, ease of use, sound quality
Disadvantages: can't connect to a computer, price

...figure out what they do. It also charges your iPod while it's docked, so there's no worry about it running out of battery while using the SoundDock. I think the best thing I could say about this, is that two people, after having listened to my SoundDock have literally rushed out and bought their own. I've had this almost a year now and my overall conclusion is this...it's small, it's pretty and it sounds bloody brilliant....

Universal Dock

Advantages: Line out, s-video out, charge, sync, stand, remote control.
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it is.

...First of all, i purchased this when buying my 30GB black, a couple of things made me like this docking station, i prefer plugging it into my surround sound system so i this is why i went for it has a 3.5mm line out. Then, i could watch my music videos, using the 'S-VIDEO' out on the back of the dock. And i can charge/sync my ipod using the apple socket at the back. Only problem i found was, if you want to control your ipod remotely you have to purchase the apple remote. Which is another £20 in the shops, what i would reccommend which is what i did, was purchase a apple remote of ebay, obviously you might not be as lucky as me, but i managed to get one for £11 inc delivery off there. Also a good stand for it to sit there and look pretty :) and it comes with all the adapters to fit all ipods....

Take a look through this Glass on the canal. (Glasson Dock)

Advantages: A lovely, quaint little village that has kept it's charm.
Disadvantages: None at all

... GLASSON DOCK Glasson Dock is famous - because I live there!! Seriously, my home village is a little gem. Glasson Dock is just south of the city of Lancaster, at the mouth of the River Lune. Up until about 200 years ago there was only fields and marshland where Glasson Dock now stands. If the river Lune had been more navigable Glasson Dock may never have been - in 1779 Lancaster port commission decided to build a dock at Glasson as it was difficult to navigate boats up the Lune to the docks in Lancaster. Before it became a dock, Glasson was the site of small farming and fishing community, known as Old Glasson and Brows-saltcote. The shipyards were largely concerned with ship repair rather than shipbuilding, and closed in 1968, with the dry dock filled in a year later. Now a limited amount of commercial ships...

Review of Glasson Dock, Lancashire

Ipod Universal Dock, Dock Em In!

Advantages: Universal for all ipods, Compatible with remote, Has Lots Of Connections
Disadvantages: Need to purchase wires and remote separately

...I bought this dock about 4 months ago and I have been using it on a daily basis every since, I got this dock so that I could play my music through speakers (without unplugging headphones) and use the remote so I don?t have to move to change the song and FF,RW etc (lazy). I have been using this dock for around 4 months on a daily basis and I think that the dock is wicked, I have had no problems with the dock and it has made my music listening much more enjoyable because I can use the remote to control the Ipod (Remote Purchased Separately). And I don?t have to remove the headphones to use the speakers as the dock has a 3.5 audio jack built in, and I can use the dock for data transfer with my pc as well as charging through the mains (cables have to be bought separately too). And scene as though I have the video Ipod I can use the docks...

Review of Apple iPod Universal Dock MP3 player docking station

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. Unlike the larger iPod dock, the Nano dock has no 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...

An umbilical of laptop life!

Advantages: Great connectivity, features, design
Disadvantages: needless design change

...In my opinion, a docking station is a must if you own a laptop that resides on your desk for a big proportion of its working life. Hence my title, the umbilical of life. With both my current and old HP laptop, i have owned a matching docking station and the only critisism would be the fact that the older docking station is not compatible with the newer laptop even though there is only a matter of a year or so between. After all they are the same manufacturer! With that aside, the rest of this review is nothing but praise for my docking station! Looks. Matches the laptop superbly in colour as both are finished in the graphite black /grey plastic. More block like that the previous Docking Station (DS) the shape and style of it lends itself to supporting a monitor. The old DS simply had the laptop covering the entire item...

Review of HP Advanced Docking Station

To dock or not to dock, that is the question

Advantages: Easily recharges the camera's battery and transfers pictures
Disadvantages: Rather odd behaviour of indicator lights and connector

...I felt that I needed the Easyshare Camera Dock II to go with the purchase of my new Kodak DX4530 digital camera basically because the battery supplied with the camera was non-rechargeable. Once it's dead, it's dead and you need to go out and buy a new one. However, the camera dock is supplied with an Ni-MH rechargeable battery. The dock is attached to the mains and to your PC via the USB cable that came with the camera, and the idea is that you simply plug the camera directly into the dock and it automatically downloads your pictures onto your computer and recharges your battery. This seemed like a pretty good idea and not too expensive at £45.00. In the box you get the Camera Dock itself, a 2 pronged and a 3 pronged power cable to attach to the 7-volt AC adapter, a rechargeable battery, a universal camera dock insert (in case I had...
