I'm guessing the stand is just a stand, otherwise they'd just call it a dock.
Besides, they include a dock adapter, for use with the universal dock I presume. Which leads me to believe that if you can charge the iPod touch from the universal dock, then you must be able to charge it using existing power adapters, like you can with the 5G iPod. They must all have the same charging/synching port.
Just my logic, so don't flame me!
