Well, I had been contmplating if I wanted to get the dock for some time now. I was surfing Amazon when I saw one for $12. I decided I'd might as well get it. It came in the mail yesterday. It matches the iPod perfectly, it's completely white except for the bottom which is gray with the apple logo indented in it. The dock has some weight to it, it needs some to keep the iPod at an angle. On the back side is the usb/firewire port and the line out. The dock doesn't really do anything special except keep the iPod off any surfaces. It certainly helps organize all my cables better, though. The only other real feature is the line out. It supposedly has a higher quality then if you were to plug your aux in or whatever into the headphone out. Its also supposed to protect the iPod from being overloaded. This would helped when I tried to plug the iPod into our dying surrond sound system. I'd say that the dock is not neccicary, but a cool thing to have if you can find it cheap.
