Summary: Warning: does not work with iPod Touch 2nd generation
Comment: This seems to be a good product for all the iPod models, EXCEPT the second generation iPod Touch. Apple changed the pins on the 2nd Gen Touch and it will not charge with the iM600. Altec Lansing says the newer model will work properly. Look for the Altec Lansing iM600USB, which says it works with the 2nd gen model (I have not tested this newer model).
Also note that with the classic iPod, the alarm can wake you up to a designated playlist of your own music, whereas the Touch can only wake you up to it's own alarm sounds, but NOT to music. That is not the iM600's fault, but if you are interested in an alarm clock for your Touch, you may be disappointed until Apple releases yet another update to the iPod Touch operating system.

Summary: Awesome Sound!
Comment: I bought two of these for our kids for Christams. They both wanted something compact to play their Ipods either at work or in their bedroom. I am pretty picky when it comes to audio quality but, knowing Altec's reputation, I chose this particular product. Now, these cost me about 1/2 of what I was pricing Bose or other top brands so, I was a little concerned about what I was about to recieve. Turns out that when the kids cranked these up Christmas day, I was blown away! Hard to believe so much sound can come from such a small space. What they lack is in bass but, they make up for it with overall clarity and volume without cracking. We were all please with the end result and I would recommend these to all the audio snobs I know.

Summary: If you really love good sound, this will not be very satisfying
Comment: This is a really attractive product, easy to setup, and very portable but the quality of the sound is not very good. There is very little base response which makes the unit sound kind of hollow. I returned the item and bought the Logitech X240 speakers for only $30 at Circuit City. They include a small subwoofer and two speakers. For a small system, it has very good sound. However, it does NOT charge your ipod or provide an FM radio.

Summary: Wife loved it !
Comment: Bought this for my wife's office and she loved it!
4 reasons to buy:
1. Price - better value over the Bose dock.
2. Design - clean and modern that complements any room.
3. Sound - great upgrade from laptop and standard pc speakers.
4. Portable - your music is portable so your dock should be too.

Summary: Is NOT compatibile with Touch g2
Comment: Despite even the Apple site stating that the unit is Touch g2 compatible and the box having a sticker on it stating it as well, the dock will NOT charge the a Touch g2.
The user guide is terrible. It makes no mention at all as to what the USB port on the rear of the unit is for.
The sound is adequate.
