iPhone 3G dock adapter NOT INCLUDED!
(1 out of 5) by A. L. Morgan on Nov 5, 2008 (Syracuse NY, USA)I just received my speakers from Amazon. If you are planning on using these speakers with an iPhone3G then be prepared to spend another $3 for the dock even though it's advertised as 3G capable. Calling Altec Lansing about the missing dock adapter will get you every excuse in the book:
"Apple does not provide spec's prior to release so we don't have time to include it in the box."
"The t612 was designed for the original iPhone, that's why it doesn't come with the adapter."
"It still works with the iPhone 3G, just remove the adapter provided and your phone will slide right on there. We understand that it doesn't sit on there solidly but it still works..."*
*My car technically works riding on the rims too but you don't see me doing that, now do you?!?
I don't care if all they want is $3 for the shipping. Selling the unit as iPhone 3G capable is false advertising and Altec Lansing and Amazon should either provide the dock adapter free of charge (that includes shipping) or stop selling them as iPhone 3G capable!

not compatible with iphone
(2 out of 5) by Mike C. on May 16, 2009 (tulsa, ok United States)It blows my mind that a company trying to compete in the 2009 electronics market would put out a product with "iphone" in the title and an iphone in every advertisement picture and yet when you buy it your iphone doesn't work and you have to buy (and then wait) for a special adaptor to be able to use an iphone with it. There's nothing in the product description that would lead you to believe this is the case.

The Real Deal
(5 out of 5) by James E. Wohlford on Jun 25, 2009 (woodlake ca)Great Product. It works great with my I-phone. The sound is great and the price is right. For the money its the best deal.

Mediocre sound, bulky power unit
(3 out of 5) by P. Li on May 12, 2009 (MD, USA)1) The sound quality is mediocre
2) Does not work with iPod Touch Gen 2
3) The power cord connects to the unit through a bulky AC-DC converter. Why can't the company build the AC/DC in the unit?
4) The unit does not have a reserve battery. It has to always connect to a power outlet to play.
