Does this charge an iphone/ipod while playing? or does it suck ipod battery?

Occasionally the battery charging aspect doesn't connect properly and drains it a bit, but 95% of the time it works perfectly and after enjoying the music off my iPhone, I disconnect to find a completely charged device.

Yes. It charges our iPhones and iPods. We have it plugged in. We are not using the batteries. It does not have to be turned on to charge them. Just plugged in. It charges quickly too. Faster than a computer and some adapters.

No, no it doesn't. It charges your iPhone, iPod and plays your music. It's has amazing sound, bass, volume, and color changing features. You can make it stay one color or have it flash multiple colors. My daughter sometimes uses it as a nightlight. It has a 110v cord and does not have battery operated capabilities. Well worth the purchase and long lasting.

sorry for the late response....I just tried mine and the music is kinda skipping whilst the colour changes. So, Im guessing that it does not play while it is charging.

No, it uses an electric plug and charges the iPhone at the same time as playing through the speakers.

This device requires a "player" of some kind (IE: IPOD, MP3, Walkman,....) as it is just speakers with a small amplifier of some kind. *I have been using an IPOD and this lasts about a week on a single charge using it every day for about 2 hours! My IPOD I have to charge every 3 days!! Both of mine work great!!

It charges the iPod when it's plugged in to an electrical outlet. If you are using batteries, it doesn't charge the iPod.

Yes it does charge your device while listening to music even when you turn it off ( and its pluged in) it will still charge your devise. As if its compatible with iPhone 4 I' m not sure as I have an iPhone 5 and only use this with my iPod but I think some of the other reviewers gave you good feedback on that.

Aux cable works fine, but won't keep your phone charged. When using my ipod, I don't notice a huge difference in sound quality between 30 pin connection and the aux cable. Sound quality should be fine.

Using a lightning to 30 pin adapter, you can use the dock to play your iphone / ipod - but that adapter will not support simultaneous charging. Playing Music = Yes. Charging your device while you are playing music = No.

Seems it doesn't charge, although it will play songs/videos on the iTouch. The only part that may be bad for your iTouch in using this transmitter, is that the battery would drain while you play your songs/videos. More bad for you than the itouch device. So you'd have to recharge it with an alternate charger or though the usb cord on the computer. Suggestions for alternate product: FM Transmitter & Car Charger with LCD Screen - for Apple iPod / Iphone 3G / Itouch 2nd Generation / Nano 4th Generation - High Quality digital Sound - Automatically powers and recharges battery with car adapter. --I like this so far. Just wish it had buttons to preset stations so you don't have to scan each time to find a clear station. When you get a good station, songs play clearly. You would have to figure out what to do with the iTouch as it dangles from a cord. Put it in the cupholder? Find some sort of bean-bag thing like people use for their gps to sit on the dash?

it does charge but in order to play music you have to use the 3.5mm jack. it is not at all like an ipod where one cable does it all. you have a mini usb to charge and a 3.5mm to play the music..

I have an iPhone 4 and it charges my phone while it is playing AND it also charges it while an iPod is playing on the other side. not sure what you mean about playback, but it does play songs from my iPhone. Hope that is helpful. It's a pretty good unit. Sound is not superior, but quite good.

It does not, sorry! But you plug it right into your Xbox and can play while charging

It will! I use it for my iPod and my iPhone both..it charges them while they play!

It's much faster to charge directly using an electrical outlet, but it will charge a iPod. As Dan the Floor Guy says, it won't charge when operating on the battery.

Yes. Whether it's plugged into a computer or a socket through an adapter, it can charge while you play.
