I am about to buy the 60gb Ipod Video and I have a few questions, what all does the dock for it come with ? Is it just the dock and I have to buy the usb cable ? And about the av cable for it, Do I have to have the dock to hoook it up to the tv ? And have any of you had experiences with the av cable ? Is it cool, worth it ? And please feel free to list any other info u have, and how is the case that comes with the ipod when you buy it ? And what is the best ipod case for it ?


Thanks

Malcolm

I'm not sure about the Dock. not sure if it just comes with the Dock and the cables or jsut the Dock itself. you don't really need it. No you don't have to buy a USB cable as your iPod will come with one. You may want the Wall charger for when you are travelling or when you are displaying the movies, photos or whatever from the iPod. You only need the cables if you plan on displaying it to the TV. Even then you could probably go to radio shack and pick up a good set for less than what Apple Wants.

If you plan on listening to the iPod in your car you WILL need some type of thing to play it in your car either an FM transmitter or a cassette adapter or even a line in. You will also want to get a car charger too. Some of the FM transmitters come with chargers attached.

The Next thing I would also get is a case. What is the best case is very subjective. You could go over to http://www.ilounge.com and look around at their reviews on different cases. You could also go into their forums and find out there what people like. Or even on the Macnn forums too. Each person has their own desire/need/style for a case. You just need to find one you like and try it out.

Hope that helps.
