NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ZUNE 80G 2008-07-25
Ugh.
Buy Zune Dock v2. Now I have a gift for my friend with a 1st gen Zune.


not even a zune 2008-06-18
i ordered the zune dock and got this sierra wireless 595u cocking cradle usb station. i ordered it from Reagan Wireless i try to send it back and no ones there to answer and now its past fourteen days so i cant return it for my cash back. so be careful you might not actually get what you put your cash in to. but in stead something worth nothing at all.


A Good Idea Gone Bad 2008-05-14
This is a product where artistry and design attempt to overthrow the engineering and usefulness of a product, and makes it ultimately that much weaker for it. From a design standpoint, the dock is quite nice; the ability to hold the Zune and the remote in an elegant position while leaving it connected gives it a classy touch.

However, there are an assortment of problems with the actual usability of this device. For example, the remote is placed directly behind the Zune, meaning that when both are in the dock, reaching for the remote without knocking over the Zune can be needlessly frustrating. There is only one expansion port for the device, meaning it can only be charged by an outlet or connected to the PC, but not both. And perhaps most importantly, all you get in the package is the dock. The remote, sync cable, power adapter, and A/V cables are all sold separately, making buying this product by itself almost worthless, unless it and the other cables can be bought for a low price.

All in all, if you want the dock, go ahead and buy the Zune Home A/V Pack, which contains the dock and all the accessories needed to make the Dock at all useful.


Not just for computer hookup 2008-02-09
The dock works very good with the standard USB hookup provided with the Zune. I will also work with other types of charging devices that have a Zune plug.


Small and efficent 2008-02-08
I like what the Dock can do. It holds my 30G Zune for charging and keeps it connected to my computer. I have also used it to connect as a source for my hi-fi.

Nice and simple 2007-10-25
The zune dock came bundled with zune purchase, so it was free and a good deal to begin with. I don't think I would have bought it otherwise. The dock did not come with its own USB cable so it does seem a bit pricey if you were to purchase it by itself. Of course you will have had a cable already since the zune comes with it. After using it for about a month I can honestly say the following: Aesthetics are nice and nicer than an Apple dock. You wouldn't mind leaving it out on your desk. The dock pin port interface is buttery smooth. All it takes is a gentle one handed placement of the zune on the dock and it registers connected. I don't think its a total necessity since you can use the USB cable by itself, but its more about convenience than anything else.


In-car use 2007-09-20
I bought this dock with the intention of using it my car as a drop-in interface for my Zune. I used a couple of strips of 3M Dual-Lock (much stronger alternative to Velcro) to mount it on my dashboard. I was concerned at first about the Zune flying out of the socket when going around turns or over bumps, but it's been well over a month and the thing never budges!

For the price of the dock, you can't beat the value and convenience for use in a car install!


Great little device 2007-08-27
It's a great little device, handy for holding the ZUNE so you can watch videos!


Doesn't come with power supply! 2007-08-19
I should have read the other reviews. This is just a base and comes with no cables and no AC adapter. Sigh.

Btw, if you buy the power supply then you still need to use your USB sync cable--the power supply won't connect directly to the Zune. All rather ill conceived I'd say.
