4.0 out of 5 stars Not Perfect - But Quite Useful, May 10, 2009

This review is from: Dock Cradle for iPhone 3G/iPod Touch 2nd Gen with AV out & AC (Electronics)

This device falls down on the headphone AV output jack, but has other features that are easily, to me, worth the money.

You get all these features for your 3G iPhone:
- a universal iPod cradle
- an extra AC power adapter
- an extra USB cable that can sync your device, recharge it, or both
- 30 pin AV output that you can use to play good quality videos on your TV (once you purchase the special AV cable from Apple)

You do NOT get:
- usable headphone audio output from the cradle for your 3G iPhone. On my unit, the audio plays thru the headphone and the iPhone speaker at the same time. Not very useful.

If you must have the headphone output, you'll be disappointed.

If all you need is an extra AC power adapter, a decent cradle with sync/power cable, and video output capability, then you'll be very happy with this product, as I am.

2.0 out of 5 stars Allows Synch but does not allow audio output via AV Out, April 24, 2009

This review is from: Dock Cradle for iPhone 3G/iPod Touch 2nd Gen with AV out & AC (Electronics)

I purchased this dock to allow me to (1) power my iphone off of the USB cable on my employer's laptop and (2) allow me to play audio via external speakers directly connected to the dock. While this dock does allow me to power (and synch) my iphone, it does not allow me to output the audio via the "AV Out" jack provided on the dock. While I can still hear the audio via the iPhone's small speaker or output audio via the iPhone's av/out jack, both of these options defeat the purpose of the dock. I am returning the dock, hopefully, for a refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Audio Out, May 9, 2009

This review is from: Dock Cradle for iPhone 3G/iPod Touch 2nd Gen with AV out & AC (Electronics)

This device has an audio output on a phono jack, but it just plain doesn't work. This is anything but clear from the language "The dock station also includes a 3.5mm AV out that can be used with older generation iPods for A/V out, or for connecting your headphone/earphone to all iPod/iPhone models."

A better description would have saved me a purchase and return.
