don't know when the change happened on the ipods, but it stopped working between the 1st get and 3G iphone
the older ipods used to charge from firewire (12 volts) and USB (5 V), Apple has mad a decision to not include the hardware to make the 12V work anymore. And i'm guessing they probably wont
just found a chart here detailing which models will charge on firewire

oh damn that sucks. thanks for the chart. do they make adapters?
im assuming the new bose sounddocks charge and play the new ipod nanos. and anything that plays the new ipods will also charge the old ipods to right?

correct, anything with a dock will charge with USB
and correct, it does suck.
it would be more than an adapter, as it would have to have a transformer of some kind in the to do the voltage change.
you would have to check on the bose site, I'm assuming if it says "compatible with" it should charge.

I have the first SoundDock and it charges my iPod Classic as well as my 2G iPhone. Now, my 3GS doesn't charge, only plays music. I haven't bought any new iPods recently so can't comment on those.
From what I've read, the charging connector got changed at some point last year with the 3G. The iPod adapter I self-installed in my Pilot does not charge my 3GS either, while it worked perfectly with the 2G. Pain in the ass and really bogus that Apple will not stick with a damn standard.
