It says it charges “all dockable iPods sans 3G iPods”
I wonder if this is really true - including the new Touch 2G.
The charging mechanism changed on the new iPods/iPhones so I guess I’ll email to ask.
I want one if it does.

I wish they would recess the iPod though, so it doesn’t stick up like all the other dorky-looking iPod speakers… Otherwise, nice. (But, not nice enough for me to buy it, yet.)
