OK I got Touch and I am really more and more impressed the more I use it.
There are a lot of positives that are not even noticed until using one for a few days......but I am stumped by one thing.


I simply want to watch and listen to a movie without headphones or cords anywhere.
Is there any dock anyone knows of that is HORIZONTAL?

I have several different docks and none will work for video as the image goes horizontal,it should not be rocket science but it does seem like another huge feature that was not considered.

Any ideas?

Well, first, too many question marks...

Second, to answer your question, the market is just starting up to hold iPods and iPhones horizontal - here's the first one that I've seen designed for the iPhone - http://www.slashgear.com/logic3-i-station-traveler-first-iphone-speaker-dock-156769.php

Well, first,Sorry if I exclaimed too loudly for you......well not really.

Second, Thanks for the link. I realize the market for this model is very young.
It does seem that Apple might have considered this issue when changing the orientation for video and how it would affect all of the existing docks for viewing "in place" including their own.

I also now realize that if they merely offered a short dock connecter extension cable it could solve several problems.
To my knowledge no one offers one pre-made yet.

I know that a short mini stereo cable will work to get the audio out,although at headphone level but it would be a neat trick to be able to get the line out instead and also whatever added functions the dock's I already have might offer.
