My husband bought me an iPhone speaker dock for Christmas. He can really take the hint when I cut the picture out of the catalog and set it on top of his laptop keyboard! So, I’ve been using it since December and felt it necessary to share my views with you on it. I love how it lets you rotate the phone from being upright like in the first photo to being horizontal so you can watch movies on it, like in the second photo. (Yes, that is my favorite movie playing on it, When Harry Met Sally).
Love it! I have the bad habit of watching movies or television in order to fall asleep. When I am traveling, that is sometimes an issue because where I am sleeping might not have access to a tv. Now I just take along my charger, which I need anyway, and I am able to comfortably watch movies with the sound streaming through the speakers. Nice, very nice. The only complaint I have about it is that the volume is a little finicky. The very lowest setting seems to be a little higher than one would normally think. Other than that, no complaints!

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been looking at speaker/charger systems for my iPod Touch, but have been hesitant to put down money on something I may not have liked. For the record, I too need “white noise” to get to sleep at night. At home, I’ve been using ESPN Radio [LOL] for that function, or I’ll go out to the living room and crash on the sofa with the Disney Channel. But on the road, I actually have been using earphones and an iApp called “Sleepmaker Rain” that has a bunch of different rain sounds. The free version convinced me that the pro/money version was worth it. You might want to look into that one. (The Sleepmaker folks also have Sleepmaker Waves and Sleepmaker Storm.)
PatGLex, I am addicted to white noise, too! The TV won’t work for me, though. My husband and I use a white noise machine on the nightstand at home, but when I travel, I use an app that’s similar to the one you described. Mine is called Sleep Machine Lite and it works quite well.
My app is just called WhiteNoise. I really like it because it has all different types of noises, one funny one, to me at least is Clothes Dryer. However, I admit, I do like the sound of the actual dryer going at night. It just looks funny in the list!
