Sleek, Stylish and Functional. Great for the iPhone., July 24 2008

My wife and I each have an iPhone and wanted a nice way to charge them both without cords all over our living room. I purchased the PowerDock from Amazon, and am very pleased with it. It's small, sleek and looks great in the living room, all while reducing our clutter.
The only downside is that it only ships with a single adapter piece for each type of apple device. So with 2 iphones only one of them has the proper adapter in the box. Mind you this does not mean that you cannot charge both, as the adapter for say the video iPod or the adapter for the iPod Touch will work. The problem is that they each sit at their own angle and it looks kinda weird. The upside however is that I called Griffin and they are shipping me a free iPhone adapter piece and were really easy and nice to deal with.
If you are thinking about buying one, I highly recommend it.

<<Review update - Dock does come with 3G and 3GS adapters now. However Griffin's website does not list the 4G adapter as inlcudied. My guess is you could buy the 4G adapter and it would work>>
Very nicely done. Looks good, well built an designed. However Griffin has not sold off their existing stock of older units without an iPhone 3G adapater in the box. The unit I received from Amazon is just that - an older box sans 3G adapter. I <can> carefully place the iPhone in the dock and it works well with no adapter at all, but that is a bad idea I'm sure. I can buy an adapter for a reasonable $1.99 from Griffin. What isn't reasonable is the shipping charge of $5! So I can get the piece of plastic that should have been in the box for around $7 - super. Definitely makes this dock less of a bargain.
I'd be completely satisfied if Griffin had offered a check box on the Amazon order page to include a 3G adapter with the dock. I would have given it 5 stars.
If you have a 3G iPhone wait until you see that the Amazon order page says "iPhone 3G compatible" before you order. Save your self some dollars.

My neighbor has this so I was able to test my iPhone 4 in it before I purchased it. With the iPhone 4 you can charge with or without an adapter insert. The #9 adapter insert that comes with it fits the iPhone 4. 2 of the #9 inserts are included. Again, an adapter (which is included) is not required. Just plug in your phone.
Love this product. It looks so much sharper than cords lying everywhere.
