Hey all, Thought I'd bring this topic back up.
Over the weekend, I bought a small, and I mean small, Sony clock radio with dock on top. It is nothing spectacular, but it suits my bedside needs. It was $35, has a radio, and charges both my iPhone4s and Nano 5th Gen. Both devices can be docked while in their cases, and turning the volume up on the unit, doesn't effect my iPhone volume. I kind of decided, I don't want to pay upwards of $75-$200 until I buy something for the living room. *Grin,* I don't need to spend that kind of money on a simple dock/radio for my night stand. Thanks for all the suggestions and I may keep some of them in mind for the living room or kitchen. PS. If anyone is interested, at this early stage, the clock part of the device is useless to me. Boy, I miss the 80's where the clock numbers were bright green or blue against black. I could usually see those.
