WildCowboy,
you're correct. I bought my iPod from Sharper Image.
I went to the local Apple Store and they told me it is
NOT meant for use with non-nano docks. Only the
nano dock will work with the nano perfectly. However,
the iPod mini dock, which I currently have, does work.
(but the Apple Store manager told me they had two
customer bring back broken nano connectors already for
using the nano in the iPod mini's dock)
I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait. 🙂
