Overview

Charge and sync your iPad with the iPad Dock. Your iPad sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s perfect for a desk or countertop. It features a convenient audio line out port that connects to powered speakers. And it supports other iPad accessories, such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Cable and iPad Camera Connection Kit. You can even use it as a picture frame while it’s charging.

Here are some ways you can use the iPad Dock:

  • Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable included with your iPad to sync iPad and charge its battery.
  • Connect the dock to an electrical outlet using the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter (included with your iPad) to charge the iPad battery.
  • Use the dock to hold your iPad at the perfect angle to compose email and notes using a Bluetooth keyboard or to watch your favorite videos or photo slideshows.
  • Connect the dock to a TV or video projector using a compatible cable such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter or the Apple Component or Composite AV Cable.*
  • Connect the dock to a stereo or speakers using an AV cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from iPad.*

    Another disappointing iPad accessory.
    • Written by TO from Draper
    • Apr 13, 2010

    Pros/Cons:

    1. Your iPad will be wobbly left and right when sitting in this dock and you'll constantly wonder whether you have a firm connection. The connector itself seems pretty fragile and it's just a matter of time before I bump it hard enough to snap the connector off.

    2. Like the Keyboard Dock, you have to remove your iPad from any case. That is a major pain.

    3. The angle is more upright than the Keyboard Dock, which is better for nightstand placement if you want to watch movies on your iPad.

    4. The rubber base is not grippy enough. Every time I push the iPad's "Home" button, the whole assembly slides across my desk or nightstand. The Keyboard Dock is better in this regard, because it's heavier.

    5. You can't use your iPad in landscape orientation. This alone is a deal breaker.

    A proper dock design would allow A) placement of the iPad in or out of its case, B) portrait or landscape orientation with the connector on a cable or in some kind of rotating assembly, C) adjustable viewing angles. In other words, a flexible stand would be much more useful than a fixed dock, in practice.     …More

    Worthless!
    • Written by JM from Arcadia
    • Apr 13, 2010

    Save your money on this one. Apple dropped the ball on this dock (and their case). For these two items not to work together is criminal. Or maybe smart business. You buy the iPad, case and dock. You cannot charge/dock while in the case so you remove. Dock is flimsy enough that you knock dock and iPad off table. Since it is user error, buy new iPad. Is this how they will reach a million units sold this year?

    Seriously though, wait as I am sure there are a multitude of companies working on compatible dock and case.     …More

    Pointless if you use a case
    • Written by WB from Tampa
    • Apr 13, 2010

    Thought that Apple of all "designers" would have thought that those of us who use cases might like to dock our iPads as well - instead of making the support bar have enough room for even the Apple designed case or adjustable so that any case (or an iPhone even) could be used on this dock made it an immediate return and exchange for a spare power adapter. …More

    Stopped charging after 8 months

    During the short time that it worked, we were satisfied with it. We purchased it in March 2011 and then one day in November it abruptly stopped charging the iPad. I expected this product to last longer than 8 months even if it did only cost $30. …More

    Rubbish
    • Written by AP from Ichikawa-shi
    • Dec 12, 2011

    1st one didn't work at all. Went to service centre and was replaced. 2nd one now speakers work but doesn't work with the iPod dock to VGA cable (works if I plug it into the iPad directly).

    Complete rubbish - whole point was to stop having to plug in two cables to get external monitor and sound and instead just plug the iPad into the dock.     …More

    Apple hasn't made a docking station for laptops since the mid 90's with the PowerBook Duo. Although if you happen to have the latest MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt, then the newly released (Jul 2011) Apple-branded monitor is the ultimate dock, with a MagSafe connector and Thunderbolt that connects from the display to the computer, then the back of the display has Firewire, USB2, and you get another camera on the display. It's not a dock, but it's still a very clean 2 plug solution. …More
