If you don't have a dock connection are there other downsides besides not being able to use the dock.
i just got my 30GB iPod last weekend (i'm going to see about returning it for the 40GB!) but AFAIC, the Dock is only "good" for:
- holding your iPod upright
- providing line out (loc'd in the rear) to speakers/stereo
- connection to your mac
but i am glad my iPod won't get scratched up if i lay it on my desk, i am glad it can be displayed ( ), and i am glad i don't have to disconnect and reconnect my headphones and my stereo cable all the time.
with an extra firewire to iPod cable, i won't have to keep re/disconnecting the current cable when i want to transfer files to or charge my iPod elsewhere.
