iPod Docking Station

Hi!

Play.com are selling an iPod Docking Station for £17.99. It's compatible with all new iPod's (new nano, new classic, new touch) and both iPhones (3G and non-3G). Mine arrived today and it is well worth it! It's not a big name brand but the sound quality is excellent. I'll leave a link below so enjoy!

Great spot aaranj, just wanted to add a few more details. This smart, compact Ottavo docking station packs in a lot of features for the cash, and while it won't match the sound quality of a dedicated system, it's an excellent bedroom/travel companion, and a great pressie.

Features

Sound Output: 2x4w
Radio with 20 presets.
Dock with adaptors for every generation of iPod.
Backlit clock with adjustable brightness and backup battery.
Three-mode alarm: wake up to iPod, radio or buzzer with ascending volume & snooze control.
Detailed menu system with full iPod track/playlist/EQ control
Remote control
3.5mm mini-jack for connecting other Mp3 players/equipment.

Compatibility

The dock is designed for all generations of iPod Classic, Nano & Touch which use Apple's wide 32-pin dock connector (ie all but the early 2001-02 firewire models), and comes with adaptors to make each fit in snugly. It will charge all iPods & iPhones when docked.

Will it work with iPhone?

Yes, but only to an extent. Plug an iPhone in and you'll get a message asking if you want to enable flight mode (ie disconnect from your network - no calls or texts). If you do, it'll work just as well as any other iPod, but if you don't the sound output will be prone to intermittent-but-annoying mobile interference, though you may get lucky. Either way, it'll charge the phone while it's plugged in.

Thanks to aaranj for posting this!
