Charging from the Dock Question

[okayfine]

Just bought an iPod with a dock. Excuse the newbie-ness of this question.

If you have the dock plugged into my firewire port, does the ipod still charge? What if the computer is turned off?

Thanks.

Yes, the iPod will charge while in the dock but only if you have a powered firewire port and your computer is on.
