Works with iPhone 3GS and 3G except video out. Great alternative to apple universal dock.

I purchased this item in Amazon for my iPhone 3GS. It works pretty well with iPhone 3GS even though the item description says it is for iPod.
Cons:
- The video out on Xdock will not work with iPod Touch, iPod Classic, iPod Nano (3rd generation), iPhone.
- Remote and the devise is bulky when compared with Apple Universal Dock
- The audio out (3.5 mm AUX) is present just beside the infrared remote port in the front of the dock. If you are using this audio out, speaker's cable some times block the remote signals and you have to come straight to the infrared port to use remote.
Pros:
- It really enhances the sound quality. I tested my speakers with and without using this dock and i can clearly notice the sound difference.
- Remote works perfectly. It has good range and has all the features you need to control iPod.
- It comes with different docking adapters so you can place your iPod and iPhone on the dock perfectly.
- It has video out, s-video out, audio line in and out, audio optical line out, USB connectors.
- The dock comes with universal charger and adapters, video cable and audio optical cable.
Overall it is a great replacement to Apple Universal Dock which is expensive than this. If you are looking for smaller device to save some space and want video out from iPhone, i recommend you to go for Apple Universal Dock. Take a look at both items if you are planing to buy one.

The dock is great. Works wonderfully with iPod video 5g and iPhone 3g.
It improves sound quality significantly, especially with internet radio streaming apps (pandora and slacker).
Built in headphone amp is excellent with plenty of power to push my 32ohm audiophile quality headphones.
Works better than expected. Very happy.

I bought this heavily-discounted Xdock as a video interface - to allow me to view TV shows purchased on iTunes on my flat screen TV. Also driving this decision was the compatibility mess that Apple has created, with regard to which video output cables will work with which generation of iPod (and this extends to the version of firmware the iPod is running)... And, the price of the typical Apple composite output cable was more than the entire Xdock! Seem like a win-win situation? Sadly, it turns out that Xdock too has a limited compatibility list for video output, so if you have say an iPod Nano (g3 or g4) you are out of luck. On the upside the unit is well-built, with a nice remote. It can connect via Toslink, if you have a spare optical input on your amp/receiver. The sound enhancement features are switchable, do work, and the effect is noticeable though not overpowering, especially for lower-bitrate MP3's. So, if you are looking for an inexpensive way to connect a dockable iPod to your home theater controller for music, this unit could be what you need (although there are many, many other choices). If you want to show video, make very certain that your exact iPod is supported before you purchase the Xdock.

Worked great, until iOS 4.1 update
This product worked great as an interface for my Touch to my stereo, but with the 4.1 update, it no longer is a "compatible" component.
