Headphone jack placement on iTouch result in problem!?
Hi
I just have to wonder if Im the only one thats bothered by this:
The headphone jack on the iTouch is on the bottom, next to the regular connection-socket.
Why is this a problem one might ask?
Well here's the deal. I wanted to buy a wakeup-clock that the ipod could dock with, firstly it would be so much nicer to wake up to music, and it would be a great way of keeping it charged next to the bed. Now so far so good. But the thing is I like to listen to music while falling asleep, but my wife does not really agree with this, so naturally I use headphones in the evening. I think you know what Im getting at. The problem with having the iTouch docked in a wakeup-clock (at least the models I found so far) is that I can't use headphones in the evening since I can't reach the headphone jack when its docked. And so far I haven't found any wakeup-clock with a headphone-jack?
Anyone else bothered about this? Or that has even thought about it? And lastly are there any "ipod dock clocks" out there that have a headphone jack?

Thanks for your reply, but isn't the jack on the apple dock simply an "audio out", not a headphone out? I found a JBL speaker for I-pods(..."on stage".. something) which had an audio out, but this was just an audio out, the soundlevel was the same regardless of the volume on the player. I don't know the exact english technical term for the audio-out but I hope you understand the difference im implying.
So please if you can verify this, it would be a possibly solution.
