The iPod mini Dock, also marketed as Apple iPod mini Dock, was developed by Apple Computer for its iPod mini models.
Description[]
The iPod mini Dock had a pass-through 30-pin dock connector on the back that allowed for charging and syncing over FireWire and USB 2.0.[1] However, syncing over USB was initially only supported for Windows PCs until the release of Mac OS X 10.3.4 in May 2004. A 3.5 mm audio line out port could be connected to external speakers or a home audio system.
In September 2005, Apple released the iPod nano Dock for the smaller iPod nano, which replaced the iPod mini.[2] A month later in October 2005, the iPod mini Dock was superseded by the Apple Universal Dock, which used interchangeable inserts to support a wider range of iPod models with 30-pin dock connectors.[3]
