Should include a USB cordWorks as expected, however, for ~$40, they should at least include a cord to go from this dock to the computer or stereo.
Your iPod Deserves A DockI guess the big question is "What does the Dock do?" Well it makes both synching and charging your iPod, as well as connecting it to a receiver a bit easier. In addition you can display high quality images of the pictures stored on you iPod onto a TV screen.
Getting those images on your TV is as easy as connecting one end of an S-video cable (sold separately) to the Dock and the other end to the TV. Presto! Instant slideshows on your TV that you can control from you iPod.
The iPod comes with all the cables you need to connect it to your computer (Mac or PC) for charging and synching. Connecting the Dock to this cable instead of the iPod gives you a permanent place to charge and synch your iPod mini. All you have to do is slip the iPod in the Dock.
The Dock also makes it more convenient to connect your iPod to a stereo receiver for the times when headphones are not practical and/or appropriate. You'll need to buy a separate cable to connect the Dock to your receiver, but once you have it set up you can play music from your iPod through the more powerful speakers attached to your receiver. The Dock angels the iPod for perfect viewing and access to the controls, making this a great set up and further evidence to the obsolescence of CDs.
To make this set-up even better, connect the Dock to an electrical outlet and you'll never have to worry about your iPod running out of power. A perfect solution for playing your music at long parties and other gatherings.
The power iPod user will buy two Docks. One to keep forever connected to the computer and another to keep connected to the stereo receiver. This way, you won't have to swap the Dock from one machine to the other.
The Dock works flawlessly and the iPod slips easily in and out of it while keeping it secure when it's attached. I only wish that it the price weren't so high. But it's hard to complain about that with all the options the Dock opens up for iPod users.
Very Nice!!!!!The iPod photo Dock is a nice home base for charging your iPod, hooking your iPod to your computer, for connecting your iPod to your stereo or for hooking it to your TV to view Photo's. It is very convenient and easy to use; all you need is the right cable to connect it to your stereo (TV, computer-it especially comes in handy if your USB connection is in the back of your computer.), You can get Monster iTV Link cable that provides both S-video and audio. Its a nice place to set your iPod (and do all the above) when your home and I would recomend this product.
