does this charge the ipod too?

The answer is yes and no. This speaker dock is designed to be portable. As such it can operate on both battery power or plugged in to an electrical outlet. While operating on the 4aaa batteries the unit will not charge your iPod. However, when plugged in, the unit will charge your iPod. Hope that answers your question.

it should. I got my wife a 2nd generation and it charges it OK. I have a seventh generation Ipod. It uses the new 8 pin connecter and it charges it up just fine. I don't see why it wouldn't.

Yes, there is also an input with an optional dock called DMPort. I plug in my iPods to it to play music & charge as well. The older model, anyway...

Only if it is connected to an outlet. If it is running on its own battery it will not charge your iPod.

No, the speaker doesnt charge an ipod, you can plug the ipod to the speaker using adapters though

I use an iPod Touch in mine, but it does charge it while I have it on the cradle. I can only assume that it will do so with the other devices.

It does, but seems to pop up a notification each time that it's not built for it for some reason. I haven't had any issues otherwise though, and it charges just as quickly as the official Apple wall adapter.

My wife has an iPhone 3GS and it did charge her phone when docked so it would stand to reason that it would also charge an iPod

Yes, it does. I believe that the dock connection Apple already uses has a power connection to it, so I everytime you see one it is very likely it will charge your device.But sincerely, my mom bought this Jukebox and it was a total disappointment on my part, the sound is terrible although it's a bit stylish to some tastes. If you want to go for sound quality, my professor at my university uses Roland Acoustics to show us the consequences of certain digital filters, the sound quality of them seems unexpectedly high to me.

Yes, I've done that, and it charges just fine. Note that it will assume it's plugged into a dock, and connect with the current device when you do it.

No it does not. It will not because the 5th generation iPod has a totally different charging port. However, if you get an adapter that will change the type of charging port, it will. I don't suggest doing that though because it seems like a pain to have to put that on the dock to use it. You can use it as only a speaker with an auxilery cord, but it won't charge the device. Hope that helps! :)

No, just the aux input that would come from the ipod /phone headphone jack. But if you plugged the radio in (not running off battery) there are 2 standard 120 outlets on the front that would accept a wall charger for your ipod /phone that could recharge it as it played

Yes! I have a fourth generation ipod touch and it charges even when unit is powered off. I purchased this when I was only looking for a base charger, but I found it at Walmart for a little more than $25! Cheaper than most quality chargers! I have had for over a year now and it is working great!

It charges my Ipod nano but I think mine is third generation, but I don't see why it wouldn't charge yours if it is the same connecter. Hope this helps.

Yes, when the iPod is plugged in and the unit's power is on the unit charges the iPod, and quickly I might add.

It doesn't. What isn't shown is that there is an attached cable that comes out of the back of the display (where it's attached to the flexible arm) that leads to the dock connector on your iPod/iPhone). It does charge your phone, while it's connected.

It works with my Ipod touch 4 gen and it does charge my ipod. Your ipad, if it the new one with small plug no. if older Ipad has same plug at bottom like ipod 4 gen yes it will charge the unit.
