3rd generation iTouch charging vs. 1st/2nd gen

I'm looking to buy a set of portable (boombox) speakers to work with my 3rd Gen iTouch. MANY of the speakers say they support generations 1 and 2... but fail to mention if they support Gen 3. Is this b/c the design is just that old (i.e. when they were designed and first sold, those were the only 2 generations of iTouch available)? Or, is there an incompatibility b/w Generations 2 and 3 (or 4)? If it helps, I'm looking at (among others) the inMotion Kick and M402SR by Altec Lansing

On a related note, if it says Universal iPod dock for iPod... does that mean it will work with all gen's of iTouch?

When you connect your 3rd generation ipod in your audio port in the car does it continue to charge it as well to keep the charge up?

I know the 1st generation ipod did continue to charge the ipod and the 2nd generation didn't continue a charge with the port connected in the car. It only did this connected in the computer/electrical external ports only when I am at home.

usb cable for 5th gen classic

My nano isn't big enough. My son gave me his old classic (5th gen - last 3 YMV). I used my nano cable to charge it and had no effect on battery level. Does the classic 5th gen use a unique cable? the cables I have work interchangably with my iphone, nano and ipad2. Plugged same cable into a USB port and it immediately brought up itunes and all my ipod classic specifics. Loaded several MBs of music using same cable onto classic. Thanks!
