Will it charge the ipod while playing?

It doesn't actually charge your phone. It's not like the actual ihome. I would not recommend it at all

Yes it will. If you charge it off your computer however, make sure that you eject the iPod to use it while it charges.

For charging you will need an dock to lightning adapter but for just playing audio it will work.

Yes, you can play it while plugged in. It actually plays quite a bit louder. It should be charging depending on the volume .

if it takes a micro USB connection, it will charge, but if you wish to play music you need to get an AUX connection, or play music via bluetooth.

No. In fact it should play while your even charging it. Looks like you my have a lemon. I would exchange. It's worth the time. It's an awesome little speaker for the money. Also it will last a very long time on a charge.

I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation and it plays music on my but doesn't charge it. My guess is it wouldn't charge your IPhone, but it might play music.

My wife has an iPhone 3GS and it did charge her phone when docked so it would stand to reason that it would also charge an iPod

Yes it will. I too use it to charge my iPod and iPhone both. It charges the iPod while it is playing for hours.

It will if you plug it in with an auxiliary cable, but then it won't charge. It's really designed for old iDevices. If you just want it as a transmitter (not a charger) and don't mind the little iPod charging cable hanging off the bottom it will work fine.

Yes. You can play while charging, but this radio does not have the battery meter status. Music from Micro Sd is stereo while AM/FM output are mono.

Yes it charges when it's on the iPod docking station, and quite quickly. However the docking station is very sensitive and didn't last long :(

Yes. The unit plays while being charged. It should be paired with a Bluetooth device before attaching the charging cable.

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.

I use an iPod Touch in mine, but it does charge it while I have it on the cradle. I can only assume that it will do so with the other devices.

No it does not. It will not because the 5th generation iPod has a totally different charging port. However, if you get an adapter that will change the type of charging port, it will. I don't suggest doing that though because it seems like a pain to have to put that on the dock to use it. You can use it as only a speaker with an auxilery cord, but it won't charge the device. Hope that helps! :)

Short answer- yes. Page 6 of the owners manual states:"An iPod is charged when set in the iPod dock. During power save mode, the iPod is not charged". I do not own an i-pod so I can not speak from experience.
