The iHome iP99 will. It's designed for iPhone but will work for iPod Nano 4th Gen.

The Emerson Research Clock Radio will charge it. Of the five different devices that I own (totaling perhaps $300 dollars!) it is the only one which WILL.- CB

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)

I'm not sure if an older ipod would fit onto the charger part, it did come with some adapters but I'm not sure which ones. It almost definitely can at least play music from an older ipod because there is a cord that can go into the headphone jack. So yes for playing music, not sure for charging.

Yes. I had my daughter's ipod touch gen5 (in this case) at Target the other day and it snapped on to the different clock radio's we tried with the lightening connector without any difficulty.

NO! Do not plug your iPhone into this clock radio. It is not made for iPhone, only iPod! My daughters iH6 radio started smoking from being overloaded from her putting the iPhone on it to play and charge. DO NOT use for iPhone!

I wanted to know this as well, and as I was going through the reviews one person said:"I purchased two of these, and the LCD display did not work on one. They do not charge an iPod touch (fourth-generation), so if you were planning to listen to your tunes for hours while driving down the road; you had better make a different plan. Hours later, your battery will be dead. On the other hand, the FM transmitter seems to work okay without the plug-in attachment. "

I think the latest iPods have a new charger, that won't fit. If you get a converter, I am not sure it will work--never tried. I just keep an old iPod on all of the time.

fannie lou, sounds like you got a lemon. I'd return if it was me. And regardless would return it since you already have docking systems. The charging issue is a known one, if you have older docking systems, it may likely not work. New docking systems will most likely work. That does suck. My attitude is that the Nano 4th gen is great for first time ipod users like myself (who will buy new docking stations anyway), not so good for existing users.

This is not necessarily true. The nano 4g will work on most older docks but it will not necessarily charge on the dock. This is because the 4g nano charges differently than the older ipods.

I could not find any info either on the differences. My guess is that the only difference in the im600USB is the ipod dock charging connection. Starting with the new iPod Nano 4th Gen., Apple changed the way they charge, USB only, no firewire, I believe. So, the original im600 is not able to charge the new Nanos, it plays them fine though.

I don't know. I've never tried to use the alarms/clock on it; I always use my phone. although, if you could set an alarm on your ipod, I think it would play through the dock

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. The clock radio has the old style, bigger iPod connector built into the top of the clock radio. Maybe it would work with an adapter of some kind?

It won't plug in directly since iPod 5th gen uses the new "Lightning" dock connector whereas this radio has the older-style 30-pin dock connector. Apple sells a "Lightning to 30-pin Adapter" for $30 which will probably fit OK in this radio but the iPod will lean back, supported only by the plug on the bottom. Maybe not the best combination.

I have an ipod touch 4th Gen and the clock is useless. Buttons don't work and mine won't even auto sync the time with my i-pod. I am returning it. I have tried to get it to work for 3 days now (I posted a 1-star review on it if you want more details).

Return the AppRadio. You will not enjoy it even if the iPod magically starts working. There are new built-in Apple Play radios on the horizon. Wait. You'll be glad you did. Here's an article about Apple's CarPlay announced 03/04/2014: http://gu.com/p/3n84n
