Hello,
I have just recently purchased a brand new Bose White Sounddock. It took me a while to find one in white as the more recent ones are in black or silver. Its the original one without the aux input that claims to charge most ipods under 5g.
I do have an iphone 3g & wondered if I can use this with the dock?
I have googled this & found numerous different reports as to whether it will work or not?
I have heard that it may play my music but may not charge the iphone, also heard due to the pin differences between usb & firewire this may fry my iphone?? I havent tried it yet & I am curious as I would like to be able to use the dock with my iphone aswell as my ipod.
I have also noticed there are some expensive work-arounds with cables which can act as an aux output (cablejive) & also belkin do make a charge converter. Maybe there is a cheaper alternative? ebay etc... I am wondering if I need to spend extra money or do I drop it in the dock & hope for the best??
