Yes, I have a 3rd generation nano and it works fine. Look on the Vann's website (the supplier of this product) - they have more info. But it says there that this is compatible with all dockable ipod models. I recommend it!

I've heard that the iphone is not compatible with this speaker dock, so I would also tend to believe that the same is true of the Ipod Touch since it is similar. Apparently, it causes buzzing or some other type of interference when docked. I am not 100% sure though about the Ipod Touch compatibility. Check with the manufacturer before you buy this speaker dock. That is the best advice I can offer you.

These post are quite old. Can anyone please confirm that this docking station is compatable with an ipod nano 6th generation and will charge it successfully?

Not sure if this helps but I got my 6-year-old 1st generation(!) ipod to work with Vista with no problems. If I can get that old dinosaur to be Vista compatible I'm sure the nano should work just fine. You might have to fool around with the itunes security properties, but other than that, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

Yes, it does! I used my nano with it, although if my memory serves me right, I may have had to purchase or was sent a free docking insert by iHome when I contacted them. Sorry, I can't remember since it was a few years ago. But I do remember that the sound quality was outstanding!

Is this docking station compatible with the Apple Ipod 3 rd genaration Nano? If so has another one had issues use the 3 rd generation ipods with the docking station?

it is compatible with 4 G and 4 GS ipod I know for certain. I can tell you it puts out a decent sound, perfect for preteen girls hanging out. If you nano cord is same, I guess it would work

Kate-Check out Altec Lansing's website - according to them, the iM7 has a 'universal dock' that accommodates any 'dockable iPod' - including the new iPod video. I think the product literature was printed before the video iPod came out, therefore its not being mentioned there. I have a 30Gig iPod video, and this is the speaker system I'm ordering for it - can't be beat for the price! Good luck!

It has a better chance with the Athena because it doesn't use adapters that prevent the iPod for engaging. But you have to have a case that has an open slit on the bottom. (Some people simply cut out the bottom strip of elastic or leather, though by doing so you sacrifice some of the iPod's tight fit.)

I just purchased this Cyber Acoustics Digital Docking Speaker for iPod for use with my 6th generation iPod nano. There were 3 docking inserts, but none of them was labeled for my iPod. I tried one of them and it was clearly incompatible. The enclosed instruction sheet told me to go to the Apple store to find the correct docking insert. They don't have one for the 6th generation nano. I was about to return the unit when I found this blog. As Margaret pointed out 14 months ago, the insert labeled "30G iPod with Video and 80G iPod classic" is perfect for the 6th generation nano, go figure. The nano also charges successfully. In case the paper label has fallen off the insert, it has the following embossed on it's bottom, "Classic(80G) video(30G)". Good sound and good product, just poor documentation.

I don't know for sure. I have an iPod nano. I think if the input for docking is on the bottom, it should work. It comes with 3-4 adapters to hold the iPod. I loooove this. The sound is amazing and I love all of the features, including a dimmer/off option for the display.

The Athena iVoice is the best-sounding, most versatile and dependable iPod speaker/dock system I've tried. It charges my Classic, Nano 3g, and Touch 2g. And it doesn't require those cumbersome adaptors. I picked up a 2nd refurb model at Vann's, and hooked it up to my Sony big screen via a splitter at the headphone output jack. So the Athena is handling both digital cable sound from Time-Warner and all my iPod needs. It's not as portable as a Logitech, Altec, JBL, iHome rechargeable, but it sounds better and is more dependable. Moreover, there's no external power transformer. For a portable little iPod dock, the inexpensive "iRhythms" from Cyber Acoustics is as good as anything else.

Fussy About Clock Radios, If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay. iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped. Godspeed! ~SWWPD

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?

You can connect your computer through a USB cord or you can use the iPod doc without connecting to a computer. So, yes, the system can be set up to "stand alone" as an iPod docking system. It works superbly either way.
