You can't plug this into an outlet, and the remote usually does not work. Basically you are paying for something to prop up your ipod. Don't waste your money. This is the first time I have written a bad review.

I agree with the others that this cradle & remote works very well. None of the adaptors fit the 3rd Gen Nano, but it will dock just fine without an adaptor. The description says "The iPod's volume indicator does not appear when using the remote to change the volume.", but it does appear with my 3rd Gen nano. I use it with a usb wall socket adaptor to charge and play on my home stereo system.
Only drawback I've found is that the usb cable is rather stiff and doesn't always engage fully unless you wiggle it a bit. But replacement cables are easy enough to find.

I searched for a long time to get a nice docking cradle in black for my 30GB Black Ipod. Majority of the ones I found were the basic White. The Instein is a nicely made product and the added remote is not only handy , but very useful. Excellent workmanship - I would truly recommend this Docking cradle - the price is just excellent!
This little device is so awesome. It's everything you'd expect a docking station to be, plus, it is very stylish and easy on the eyes. Not at all like a cheap charger or power adapter. We had it out of the box and working in less than 20 seconds. The cradle comes with adapters in several different sizes. We connected a mini stereo jack (not included but can be purchased at radio shack for about $3) which we ran to the "line-in" connector on the PC sound card. Now, not only will the PC charge the unit but you can enjoy the music while it's charging. Very cool!!! If you're looking for a wall charger for your I-Pod, I recommend you spend a few more dollars and treat yourself to this instead. You won't be disappointed.
