No support renders the unit useless.

My son got this for Christmas. It's cute, and the sound quality is fine (about what you'd expect from a small unit like this). The Time Travel is designed to work with iPods, of course. Since iPods come in many sizes, the Time Travel comes with "fitting brackets" that align the electrical slot at the bottom of the iPod with the male end at the top of the Time Travel. My son has a 8GB iPod nano, but the fitting bracket for nanos didn't align things properly! (Not even close.) He was upset and disappointed, but I told him not to worry -- that the solution would probably be as easy as calling iSound and asking for the bracket for his model iPod. After all, the box clearly says "for all iPod models." I went to their Web site and sent an email to the support email address. I didn't get a response after 3 days, so I called and got voice mail. I left a detailed message, and asked them to call me back. No one called back. Today I called again -- VM again -- and left another message. Does anyone actually work at iSound?

Selling this product without a properly sized bracket is bad. Providing no support is worse. If you buy this product you better cross your fingers and hope it comes with the correct parts.

I bought this unit in black, it drains my ipod in about an hour. Drains it completely dead, I tried it twice. Also, despite item description, this unit has no S-video or audio/video outputs at all. Even if it worked, it's too complicated to use the alarm function on a daily basis - needs much refinement. I wanted to review the white one as well to let people know about the problems with it. Nice & small, great idea, but it needs reworking.

I received this item for Christmas 2006 as I wanted something small and compact by my bed. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to use, looks cheap and the sound isn't great and after a few months of use the front fell off ...... but I guess you get what you pay for!

This is supposed to work w/either batteries or plugged in to an outlet - but I was only able to get it working with batteries in. Once the betteries were drained in a couple weeks, it stopped working. I replaced the batteries w/new ones and found out it wouldn't even works w/batteries anymore - forget plugging it. It completely died. This product is TERRIBLE don't waste your money. Don't they test these things before they put them on the market? This is the worst electronic device I have ever bought. ALSO - I gave it one star only because ther is no option for NO STARS.

I got this as a gift it worked fine for 2 days then one day i unplugged it one power source to another one ...... and that was it ..... it never worked again ..... it just died tried all to make it work again but nothing worked .... and like said before the customer support is like it doesn't exist ....do not buy it, its like spending money for nothing .....

This docking station arrived quickly and played the music loud enough to wake me and I am hard of hearing. The biggest con with this system is it was a little tricky to set up after I've gotten used to my other alarm clock (yes I need 2 because I have a hard time hearing) which sets itself.

I just got the thing today...of course the shipping speed was great :D

It's amazing, the sound is...really unexpectedly good! I love this thing so much~

The alarm clock thing is the coolest....the fact that you can play something from your iPod (iPhone in my case) for alarm...XD so refreshing :P

I would recommend getting it! It's so worth the price...I paid 20$ because it was on sale~ Very glad that I bought it.
