Apple Updates Universal Dock with Metal Remote, Power-Brick
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Apple, iPhone, ipod, power, remote, Today's Chili
Apple has updated its Universal Dock for iPods and iPhones. Now, instead of being a $50 box full of plastic parts, it’s a $60 box of plastic and aluminum.
Gone is the old white remote, the one that was the exact size and shape of the little cookies that come with coffee in certain cheesy hotels, replaced by the hefty new aluminum model that comes with the AppleTV.
The plastic inserts are all still there, with adapters for the iPhones 3G/S and 4, all iPod Touches but for the first one, and the previous-generation Nano (the new touch-screen Nano is too small for a dock, it seems.
There is also one addition which should have been included from the beginning: a USB power adapter so you can charge the device as it plays it’s sweet music (or video, with yet another adapter kit).
Available now. And I have one question: why isn’t there a remote-control dock for the iPad, huh?
