3G dock with 4G ipod?

Hi guys,
I have a 3G dock and a 4G ipod, apple says the 3g dock doesn't support 4G, I think it will charge it but I am afraid it will damage my 4g ipod.

does anybody know if will I damage my ipod by docking it in a 3g dock?

will I be able to charge my ipod even that apple says it won't "support"it?

by saying 3g dock I mean:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL....6.25.7.11.0.3

Thanks all

It would be typical of apple to make all 3G owners upgrading to 4G have to buy entirely new docks/accessories. Does this company's greed ever stop?

My friend has a 3g 20GB ipod with a dock, while I have a 4g 20GB ipod ... I've used her dock before with no problems.

The dock connector is the same size, so it fits for both generations of ipods.

Hi,
Thanks, but do you have an idea why does apple says it won't support it?
-->did you charged or synced, or both?
Thanks
