Rating: - not even a zune
i ordered the zune dock and got this sierra wireless 595u cocking cradle usb station. i ordered it from Reagan Wireless i try to send it back and no ones there to answer and now its past fourteen days so i cant return it for my cash back. so be careful you might not actually get what you put your cash in to. but in stead something worth nothing at all.

This is a product where artistry and design attempt to overthrow the engineering and usefulness of a product, and makes it ultimately that much weaker for it. From a design standpoint, the dock is quite nice; the ability to hold the Zune and the remote in an elegant position while leaving it connected gives it a classy touch.
However, there are an assortment of problems with the actual usability of this device. For example, the remote is placed directly behind the Zune, meaning that when both are in the dock, reaching for the remote without knocking over the Zune can be needlessly frustrating. There is only one expansion port for the device, meaning it can only be charged by an outlet or connected to the PC, but not both. And perhaps most importantly, all you get in the package is the dock. The remote, sync cable, power adapter, and A/V cables are all sold separately, making buying this product by itself almost worthless, unless it and the other cables can be bought for a low price.
All in all, if you want the dock, go ahead and buy the Zune Home A/V Pack, which contains the dock and all the accessories needed to make the Dock at all useful.

The dock works very good with the standard USB hookup provided with the Zune. I will also work with other types of charging devices that have a Zune plug.

I like what the Dock can do. It holds my 30G Zune for charging and keeps it connected to my computer. I have also used it to connect as a source for my hi-fi.

pretty good if you ask me, someone said this thing doesnt come with a speaker, but it does. Zune seems slightly better than Ipod.
