Are any of the regular ipod's accessories transferrable?

[Socialite117]

I was mostly wondering if I can still use my regular ipod's docking station (seems unlikely but worth a try). I'm not familiar with any mini accessories.

This is my first post, I'm very excited to have found this place.

All docks should work with the included adator... I think that's it. I'm really starting to hate this headphone jack positioning.

stuff that uses line out via the connector should work, like perhaps some of the speaker sets etc. remains to be seen.

Thank you for your reply. What's so wrong with the headphone jack placement other than the fact it is just essentially upside down? I take it you are not using it lanyard style then
