Re: Whole House Audio Touchscreen Setup on a Budget

Oh yes, if only they'd do a black dock!! lol,
btw be wary when buying chargers, in order to charge in an apple dock
you need an official usb ipod charger, thieving swines disabled the
firewire pin in the dock so even tho a firewire charger will charge an
ipod touch directly it won't through the dock!!!

and there's a LOT more you can do with a touch and remote buddy!!
