You asked about the mini USB it is for charging off your computer. It also charges off my Ipod 110v/ USB charger. and my lighter plug adapter that gives me 2X USB slots So I can also charge it from my car as well. When plugged into the mini USB it still charges my Iphone 3GS. This is really a great listening device ( except the hiss )

Hi there, can you tell me if this is like the IM3C and will work around the world on 110v and 240v? Need a product that will do that. Thanks!

I just bought a brand new 32 gb Ipod touch. Will this system be compatible?

The speakers are great… except for the annoying hiss. I thought I had a defective unit, until I read multiple reviews that acknowledge the hiss. It’s quite annoying if you plan to listen to music at a low volume at work.

Today I went to try the composite video feature of my im600, and discovered that there was no composite video output, in spite of the fact that the box and the users guide both claim that there is one. On the back, you can see a circular ridge in the plastic where the composite video output is supposed to be.

Is my unit defective, or did Altec Lansing decide to eliminate this feature (as a cost reduction, perhaps)?

Hi! This is really a very cool device. Only thing is that, when I first had it, it actually charges my Iphone too! I was pretty happy until like the second week. I love pandora app on my iphone and would always have it played on it without worrying my iphone battery would die because as ive said,, it charges my phone as well. Until i noticed yesterday that it no longer charge my phone. Did you ever hear of the same issue? I mean my phone still works on it but it does not charge it anymore. That’s pretty sad. I have no knowledge that the device is intended for ipod until i read the reviews. It was a gift from my husband and when i opened and tried it on my iphone it was really sweet! perfect!

I no longer have this speaker, but you should be able to use a little elbow grease to pull it out. If you can’t wedge your fingers in the dock and pull the adapter out, you might try getting a really thin blade (like a putty knife) and wedge it under the edge of the adapter to pry it up.

lars:

I wouldn’t recommend this particular product for that task because it has a hissing noise when the unit is on, but not playing audio. Why don’t you just use the built in clock application on your iPhone (or download one of the many clock / alarm apps from the app store) and allow it to wake you with it’s own built in speaker?

I’m looking for something I can dock my Iphone in and using an App use the dock as a wake-up device….will this work? I imagine I have to leave the dock standby or on, but will this create noise (that will be irritating during sleep)? tnx for your advise!

yacitus:

I just retested for you to make sure I remembered correctly and yes, the buttons on the speaker (power, play/pause, track prev/next) work as expected while the iPhone is docked. Same goes for matching buttons on the IR remote.

I apologize for not reading your review more carefully.

So aside from the video out feature, everything works with the iPhone, including all the buttons and the remote?

yacitus:

Actually they do work with the iPhone (I even mentioned that fact in the review) Although the iPhone complains that the speakers are not compatibile, they work just fine. The only feature that does not work is the video out feature for displaying photos and videos on a TV.

I’m waiting for speakers that work with the iPhone. I assume these don’t, or Altec Lansing would say so.
