Sounds good. Paul. It doesn't matter which sort of plug it is, just that it has the connectivity for it to sell. I can't imagine someone of the iPod generation not wanting to at least try to connect his/her computer to it.

[quote user="Karel Uyttendaele"]that's what I ment... an iPod dock without speakers would make no sense at all... In the mean time we've all seen the drawings... Dolly Parton Bra shaped speakers with a dock in the middle[/quote] That's my point: Since it's not "just a dock", but in fact two speakers, being able to

[quote user="Karel Uyttendaele"]I don't see the use of Airplay in a dock! Or you have dedicated speakers with airplay or you have a dock which plays the music from your iPod.
