Home > Consumer Reviews > Belkin Media Reader with Dock Connector for iPod (White)

This product is NOT as it is described. Although the listing says it works with all iPods through 6G, Touch, Nano, etc. this is not true. The product ONLY works with old-style iPods which (a) use a docking connector and (b) use the FIREWIRE interface - NOT USB. All iPods sold for many years use USB, and are thus not compatible. I have called Belkin support and they confirmed this. I am now trying to return the product.

I can't give it zero stars, but would if I could - for reasons listed elsewhere here. Belkin said nothing about the limitations of their product. I bought it a year ago for a trip using a camera with 512 MB cards. It actually worked ok, providing the iPod battery was fully charged. Now I have a 10MPXL camera with 2 GB SD cards and I'm out of luck. Can say that I'm happy that I bought my Media Reader for only 15.95 from JR. That kind of markdown should tell you something. If I'd paid anymore I'd be really mad. Shame Belkin.

Product failed to work on the latest iPod; not compatible. Too much of a hassle to send it back; just tossed it. Belkin used to have a good rep; shame they're destroying their own company with products like this. (Or, guys, label the product more clearly)

It doesn't work with SD Ultra II 2.0 GB memory card and Belkin technician said that it shouldn't work with anything more than 1GB.

So I just purchased the reader to take on a trip figured it would be nice to have. Well not so nice if you have the ipod video because it's not compatible so just a heads up if you are going to buy this item.
