Good for what it does, bad for what it should do!

I bought this product when i bought my mac. It useful but you don't need it. All it does is charge the device standing up, its nothing fantastic, it's for people who are too lazy to use their iphone and hold it in their hand. its nothing fantastic and you don't need it. For 30$ its not worth it

Pretty awesome, but for £19 you should get a USB lead with it - I'd pay £25 if it came with another mains adaptor.

No qualms about it not coming in the box - not everybody wants one, but would be great if Apple produced an extra long usb lead - mine goes behind the bed to charge at night but is just not long enough! have had to put yet another extension lead in to accomodate new shiny iPhone.

This is perfect for what it says. It doesn't bother me that it doesn't come with a cable or it wasn't included with the phone. The following two points bother me because I see no reason why they cannot be solved.

1. Make the base a lot heavier. This needs to sit on a desk without being influenced by the weight of the cable. I should be able to lift the phone in and out without moving the dock or needing to hold it down.

2. Make a black one. I understand that a lot of Apple's products are white such as the Apple Macs and some of the iPhone and iPods but you now also do a lot in black. The most popular iPhone colour where I live is black and my iPod touch is also black as are most. It wouldn't cost any more either.

You have a great product, you can make the accessories so much better by watching people use them.

Great Dock and keeps the iPhone in clear view at the bedside table. One can connect External Speakers and I tried this with Headphones. The sound quality had dropped quite a bit and the clarity was not there. Not sure if anyone else had a similar problem.

The second thing as every one has stated, @ $ 35.00 Apple should have at least given a USB Connecting Cable.

Got a protective case on your iPhone ? Then this won't work. You need a UNIVERSAL dock which also comes with a remote. It's an easy mistake to make and even Apple Store Staff get confused. So the 3G Dock has it's limitations so make your choice very carefully.

Would deserve a 4 Star, if there is a IR receiver and works with Apple Remote.

Does what it should, great quality, but I am annoyed that it wasn't in the box with my iphone and the price is ridiculous considering that it isn't provided with it's own power adapter or USB cable. Most people don't keep their dock by the computer where they sync their iphone, therefore I'm now going to have to buy another USB cable at the cost of £10 plus p&p because I don't want to be plugging and unplugging one USB cable from one room to another. Why don't Apple just put the price of the phone up and provide these items in the box.
I have only given it 3 stars because of the price and the above issues, the product itself is excellent.

I really like the looks of this dock and the way my 3G sits in it. When I bought this I didn't realize I still had to use the cable that came with my iPhone.

I had planned on using this with my iMac in the house and using the cable that came with my iPhone in my car with it's built in AC port so I wouldn't have to take the cable from house to car every time.

I would think being a desk top accessory it would have a cable hard-wired into it, especially for $29, I feel kinda let down Steve that it looks as if I still have to buy an additional $19 cable. If I had known this I would have just bought a 2nd cable instead of the dock.
