IM310 Altec Lansing, Not too bad

Not too bad

It’s not a bad dock. I wish they would have squared the bottom so you didn’t have to fold out the dock and back support to keep it upright.
The dock adapters fit, in my opinion, too securely. If your iPod doesn’t fit in the one you’ve inserted, it takes a bit more effort than it should to get it out. But the dock adapters aren’t really needed, because the iPod rests nicely in the impression.
The sound is clear and can get pretty loud, but the claim of deep bass, unless the unit requires a big burn-in time, is false. An iRhythms unit half the size of this one sounds much better in the same room, with the same iPod, playing the same music.
It’s a good travel speaker, but not for those who like bass.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Nice Portable Speaker
I got this speaker because I was looking for a great portable unit that does not use many batteries, Well This is the bill, it is safe, sound quality decent (it has some of the most important factors for a laptop dock, so I think the bass response is deep, not so .. but enough for portable use, I only takes 3 AA batteries! .. and play for a long time and you can get online at a good price .. also get the best volume, switch the limiter on his iPod .. can play loud enough with limited distortion, but not all the way up … oh, 1 more thing, it charges your iPod touch 2nd generation (many older docks will not be)

Great Speaker Option (Works With iPod Nano 4th gen)
It has been noted that the 4th generation iPod Nano has some backward compatibility issues with other devices. For example, the 4th gen nano won’t charge on a lot of older docking stations.
I can confirm that these Altec Lansing speakers will charge your iPod Nano 4th generation. See uploaded photo. I was actually assuming it wouldn’t because the description only says compatible with “iPod nano 3rd gen”.

These speaker sound good for their size. The “aux” in jack is on the back if you want to use these speakers for other types of mp3 player.
