Where can i find more detailed information on this? Does it just hold the iPod, or is there a dock connector / line out, etc…. all that stuff as well?

Your best bet is using babelfish.altavista.com to translate it from Japanese to English.

I have a feeling that the LEGO Group isn’t going to be happy about this.

Kubricks have been around for ages, and have always been based around that basic look. Lego has nothing on them.

This is actually the first stand I’ve actually liked the look of (except for Apple’s dock). Pricey though.

¥5,000(JPN) I think that works out to about €50~€55.00(EUR), ok that’s about €20.00(EUR) more then Apple’s Dock but I’d probably[ buy this becuse it compliments the iPod so well. Not sure if I seen right but I get the impression that the Robot’s is also Chorme just like the iPod’s very cool! If it’s true!

Yeah I’d be willing to dump €50.00(EUR) or even €60.00(EUR) for this. I’d keep the Apple Dock near the PC and I’d have this Guy in my Hometheater System!

Should be:

I get the impression that the Robot’s Back is also made of Chorme just like the iPod’s very cool! If it’s true!

So all it does is hold the iPod. No charging etc?

BTW - What is Chorme?

I think Chorme is like Chrome, only slightly stronger - LOL!

Chorme better. You buy now.

It was a typo I obviously ment Chrome not Chorme.

Bottom line if my impressions of the other Fotos I saw on there Website hold Water then that little Guy would Rock. And yes it can Charge and Sync that’s why it only works with Docking iPod’s of the Third Gen. 10Gb, 15Gb, 20Gb, 30Gb & 40Gb. Fourth Gen. 20Gb & 40Gb, and the iPod Mini 4Gb.

How does it charge the iPod? Does it come with a sync cable?Looks like it just holds it to me. Hard to tell though, from the available pics.

I figured the generation compatibility was due to the thickness of the generation 1 and 2 iPods…

very cool product.

wonder if the dock cable plugs into the ‘backside’ of the robot?

if you all can’t see the dock connector at the bottom of the holder you’re all more blinder than me.

at today’s rates 5,000 Yen works out at about €37… not too bad a price, I suppose.
