After doing some more research and contemplating everyone’s opinions of the SounDock, I decided to go ahead and get it. The only thing I could think of as a negative was that it cost more then any other piece of machinery i say. The plus side is that I can pay for it over a year, and I get a free iTunes gift card which washes on of the monthly payments. I was in a mall yesterday and say one in the Bose store and tried it out and the sound was FANTASTIC! All in all, I'm excited with my purchase. While it is more then its competitors, paying $25 a month takes any sort of sticker shock away and the gift card is real nice. Thanks for your input, it was defiantly helpful and opened up my eyes to alternate docks.
