Why Amazon have this thing paired with an Ipod Touch I'll never known - surplus of stock maybe...
If you - like me - are just about to buy an Ipod Touch and want a docking station to go with it I recommend you DO NOT buy this one.
It works fine (hence the 4 stars - music sound is deep and clear), however, due to the Touch's polished metal back it conducts the electrical charge when sitting in the docking station.
Yes, if you go to retrieve or replace it whilst the power is still on prepare yourself for an electric shock - and not a small one either.
I was thinking of speaking to the manufacturer but, unlike Amazon, they do not list the Touch as being compatible with this model, therefore they're covered. It works, thanks to the universal Ipod connection, but not safely.
I would urge anyone thinking of buying a docking station to check with the manufacturer that it is compatible with Ipod Touch - something Amazon evidently should have done...
