It has a place for an auxillary cable that would connect to your headphone jack of ipod/iphone. No actual dock though

I have a 4th gen ipod touch, and the ipod dock works with that style charger input. So if your ipod has the same style charger, then I don't see any reason it would not work with the docking station. Otherwise, you could plug it into one of the two auxiliary inputs.

Yes. Sony is very strong on the capability to charge while having a device docked. This is one of the primary features that make Apple such a strong competitor. Unless you truly buy a cheap knock off, most all "i" docks have the capability to charge. However this is dependent on the gen of "i" device as apple changed their charge pins and power input rates around 2010. The devices will state if they are for post iphone 4 or pre iphone 3g. 4 is good for 4 and 4s and 3gs is back to original iphone. This is also the case with gen 4 for nanos and gen 3 back nanos.

No. The dock is basically a passthrough for the USB cable. You plug your USB cable in the dock and the dock has a micro-USB connector of its own. What you are looking for is an external battery charger.

Yep. Charges while you're docked. We use this thing every day and LOVE it. It's really, really, REALLY great. If you're looking for a great speaker to plug your iPhone 5 into, this is the one. Don't even hesitate. You're going to knocked flat by how awesome the sound is from this thing. I'd give it 10 stars out of 5 if I could.

No. But it does have an iPod / iPhone docking station (not lightning the one before it so an adapter is needed for lightning), a USB port for iPod / iPhone, and an Aux in outlet.

Yes, it does as long as you continue to power up the docking station, which isn't the best use of energy cost. Since I don't use my radio outside the dock, I rely on the dock to keep my radio powered up.

No, it does not. You have to connect one USB cable to use the dock, if you want to charge the laptop you have to connect the charger separately.

Yes it does, you have to move it to see where the reception is best. Charges your iPod, plays iPod. Love it, bought myself one and two more to gift to my sisters. Worth the price.

"Maintenance Mode/Float Mode charging" --- from the product description, so yes, the docked device is kept fully charged. The device itself is used as a jump starter.

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! :)

Nooo it doesnt work!!! I have it and i have dock and i have to take the case off everytime i need to charge it!!! It sucks but i dont know if there is a case that would work with the dock

No. It is for the older connectors. It is no longer sold by Sonos and therefore not updated to the newer connector. Charging is better handled by Apple chargers. I retired mine since it is not necessary in order to play music on your ipod through Sonos. The latest sonos software allows this to happen without the dock wirelessly.

I don't know...I never said anything about iPODs in my review. But some other reviewers did have success with it charging their iPODS, from what I read.

If you have an iPod on the dock (as shown in the images), it will charge the device. If you wish to play music without charging, you can use the aux-in at the back of the dock.

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.
