Yes it will. It doesn't have to be removed from the 30-pin dock, even though the blue light stays on.

I haven't used the dock with it connected physically to a speaker, only with my phone connected to a speaker or headphone by bluetooth. There's no problem using it while charging under those conditions.

I don't use a docking station to charge my phone so I really don't know the answer. Sorry, couldn't be more helpful.

Nope. You can plug it up and it will look like it is. It acts like it's charging but dies at the same rate.

Yes. I keep my ipad on the dock and something else charging via the usb every night.

Yes you can forever. Once it is charged. It automatically cuts off charge, and resume when power depletes.

It shoThe rechargeable battery will charge and work while in the the charging dock. I believe the battery bypasses the ac port.

It totally depends on the space it has to clean. If I let it loose in the whole house it runs until the charge runs low and then it docks itself.

Yes, it will power the connected USB device while it is on charging. However, please don't forget to press the power button to start it.

Hi Clarissa, The dock has a fixed cable, that cannot be disconnected, that has a USB plug on the other end. Just connect it to a USB plug (The Apple one that came with your phone for example) and then plug that into the wall. You can also connect the dock to any USB plug, laptop, car etc, and it will also charge i believe, however i do not believe it passes data (music etc) although i have not tried it.

Yes, just be sure it is turned on. It will charge whether turned on or off.

No. It does not power the laptop or charge the battery. There are two things to plug in while it is docked, the USB cable to the dock and the power cable for the laptop. So far the device is working perfectly.

Yes, it uses the charging pins in the dock to charge its internal battery. Apple changed which pins supply power to its iPods several years ago, however, so docks built for the early generations of iPods will not charge this. It will play audio, but not charge, in older docks.

Yes. It automatically turns on once plugged in, but can be shut off while charging.

Thankfully no. It plugs directly into the USB port and runs as long as you need it to. It's a great buy, travels well, and works with all my gadgets.

No. The dock is basically a passthrough for the USB cable. You plug your USB cable in the dock and the dock has a micro-USB connector of its own. What you are looking for is an external battery charger.
