IPod nano Dock

The Apple iPod nano Docks were developed by Apple Computer for the 1st and 2nd-generation iPod nano.

Description
The iPod nano Dock had a pass-through 30-pin dock connector on the back that allowed for charging and syncing over USB 2.0. It also included limited support for FireWire, but for charging only. A 3.5 mm audio line out port could be connected to external speakers or a home audio system.

Releases
The first iPod nano Dock was released in September 2005 with the 1st-generation iPod nano. The Apple Universal Dock was released a month later in October 2005, but at a higher price. Unlike the nano Docks, which were shaped to specifically support the 1st and 2nd-generation iPod nano, the latter cost $10 more and used interchangeable inserts to support a wider range of iPod models with 30-pin dock connectors. When subsequent nano models were released in later years, they included custom inserts for use with the Universal Dock.
