IPod Dock

The iPod Dock, also marketed as Apple iPod Dock, was developed by Apple Computer for its full-size iPod models with 30-pin dock connectors.
==Description==
The iPod Dock had a pass-through 30-pin dock connector on the back that allowed for charging and syncing over FireWire and USB 2.0.iPod Q&A, Everyi. 2011-11-21. However, syncing over USB was initially only supported for Windows PCs until the release of Mac OS X 10.3.4 in May 2004. A 3.5 mm audio line out port could be connected to external speakers or a home audio system.
Although they externally appear to be the same, the version for the 3rd-generation iPod with Dock Connector (M9130G/A), and the version for the 4th-generation iPod with Click Wheel (M9602G/A) are incompatible with one another. In October 2005, these were superseded by the Apple Universal Dock, which used interchangeable inserts to support a wider range of iPod models with 30-pin dock connectors.Review: Apple Computer Universal Dock and Apple Remote by Jeremy Horwitz, iLounge. 2005-10-21.
