Hi Rick, Did you get your new speaker dock on target.com? Just curious. I don't yet have anything with a lightning connector. And I will probably end up getting an iPad mini, because the iPod touch fifth-generation is now kind of old in terms of its hardware. But eventually, like when I upgrade

Hi Russ, The iPod Touch Fifth Gen is actually the same size as far as screen size ad it does have the Lightning connector which I think is more the issue. The only thing that is different is that the iPod Touch is thinner than the iPhone 5 and that the edges in the back are slightly rounded

My question would be, with the iPod Touch being thinner, wouldn't the slot for the doc be wider from fron to back to support the iphone 5. It would seem to me that the ipod touch would have a gap in the slot because of it being thinner? -Original Message- From: Sieghard Weitzel

Russ, There is plenty of space even with an iPhone in a dock, some docks even have enough space to accommodate a snug fitting case. Anyhow, I highly recommend that you just go to a store like Best Buy or an Apple Store if you have one closeby and just ask the staff to show you some docks. Most

No, it's for anything that can charge from a USB port, Doesn't matter what sort of device it is as long as it can charge from USB. As I said, it's a BlueTooth speaker with a charging USB port on it. Best Regards, Rick alfaro On 10/27/2013 10:35 AM, Russ Kiehne wrote: My point is, the ipod

Which bluetooth adapter did your wife get for you and how much? I've been thinking about getting something like this since I have a few 30 pin docks around the house. I've seen some on Amazon but I'm afraid the transport controls on the dock might not work with the adapter plugged in.

It's the Bluetooth adapter Bose sells for that unit. You pop out the plate like the iPhone jack or an iPod template and put the Bluetooth adapter in it's place. I thought my wife was nuts when she told me the adapter was another hundred bucks. Now I'm delighted she did! Pairing was easy. I
