pretty good if you ask me, someone said this thing doesnt come with a speaker, but it does. Zune seems slightly better than Ipod.
Rating: - Nice and simple
The zune dock came bundled with zune purchase, so it was free and a good deal to begin with. I don't think I would have bought it otherwise. The dock did not come with its own USB cable so it does seem a bit pricey if you were to purchase it by itself. Of course you will have had a cable already since the zune comes with it. After using it for about a month I can honestly say the following: Aesthetics are nice and nicer than an Apple dock. You wouldn't mind leaving it out on your desk. The dock pin port interface is buttery smooth. All it takes is a gentle one handed placement of the zune on the dock and it registers connected. I don't think its a total necessity since you can use the USB cable by itself, but its more about convenience than anything else.

I bought this dock with the intention of using it my car as a drop-in interface for my Zune. I used a couple of strips of 3M Dual-Lock (much stronger alternative to Velcro) to mount it on my dashboard. I was concerned at first about the Zune flying out of the socket when going around turns or over bumps, but it's been well over a month and the thing never budges!
For the price of the dock, you can't beat the value and convenience for use in a car install!
Rating: - Great little device
It's a great little device, handy for holding the ZUNE so you can watch videos!
Rating: - Doesn't come with power supply!
I should have read the other reviews. This is just a base and comes with no cables and no AC adapter. Sigh.
Btw, if you buy the power supply then you still need to use your USB sync cable--the power supply won't connect directly to the Zune. All rather ill conceived I'd say.
