will it charge the device as too?

Yes, the dock boss will not only play an Android device, but also charge it at the same time. It charges slowly, however, but fast enough so that the Android device does not lose any battery strength while playing, so the dock boss is very useful and worth buying.

This will not charge the device. This audio input only plugs into the earphone outlet for a device, and these outlets do not charge a device's battery.

No, you cannot charge an iPhone through the audio/headphone jack. If you are buying this for a docking station, get one that plugs into the bottom of the phone (where you charge it), and then it will play AND charge.

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

I agree with David, that it should charge it, but every unit is different. The GPS output may be greater than the supplied charging input, so it may not charge as fast, but will charge, just like if you are using GPS on your phone and charging it at the same time.

most certainly! You just need the usb cable that you normally charge your devices with.

Yes, I've done that, and it charges just fine. Note that it will assume it's plugged into a dock, and connect with the current device when you do it.

Yes. It uses a separate "round" socket of which the provided AC adapters jack is plugged into for charging the device.

Yes it will, but the slimport will keep it charged but will not charge it if you are using it, so I would have at least a half charge on it.

Yes! It is charged through a mini USB port on the side of the charger. As long as you can get a mini USB cable, you are good to go. My challenge is that the mini USB on the side is a bit loose and takes a bit of a wiggle to get the device charged.

Yes, but I have found you have to plug it in just so if you want it to charge.

Sure, it will charge it. But after a while it makes your trackpad and touchscreen jump around and malfunction.

it will charge anything that can contain a USB port.. the answer is YES it will..

Yes you can charge both the device and phone at the same time. The charging device will take prority during charge if the phones battery is low.

No. That requires other hardware. This is strictly for charging your mobile device.

My guess is no, but we will see if anyone answers my similar question. I cannot currently get the device to charge and discharge at the same time. I plugged it into my phone when I got it, and I think it might have drawn power FROM my phone.

Yes it will. I hadn't used it for my iPad before but I just checked to make sure and it will in fact charge your iPad just fine.

Yes you can charge your device, although not sure what the rate of charge is, it seems to be adequate.

Yes..it will charge it. Takes a while if battery is drawn down all the way.
