The radio was fine, the alarm worked too, but I can't get it to charge my iTouch 4G.

I don't know if they're not up to date or if mine is defective, but whenever I manage to plug it in (which is a big problem in itself), a warning appears on my iTouch screen saying "Charging is not supported with this accessory." Therefor I cannot sync my iTouch to my computer through the product either.

The only way I can listen to my music on the product is when I use the mini-jack cable (which defeats the purpose because the iTouch has its own speakers).The product works great except for it's most important feature in my opinion-the charging. It was a devastating disapointment because I had such high hopes fo this product.

The product is nice, the lava lap is cool. The picture makes it look better than it actually is, but the product still has a nice, modern look. The sound is pretty good, the radio reception has some problems, but it does what it's supposed to. However, one of the major problems I have is that the backlight for the time, and the light emitted from the buttons CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. I found it WAY too bright to go to sleep, so I had to unplug it, which makes it pretty useless as an alarm clock.

I ordered the lava lamp dock, but recieved the fiber optic one instead. I didn't want to hassle with the return so I kept it as it was nice too. Although I really wanted the lava lamp one. I gave it a 3 rating since it's a gift so I haven't used it. I'll have to see how my grand daughter likes it.
