For those of us with an iPhone / iTouch there is a need for a docking station that will not only hold our device upright but also allow us to charge, sync and play our music through other audio equipment. The ReflexDock from Konnet just took care of this problem. Konnet sent me one a few weeks back for review.Click here to read the full review.

The ReflexDock is not just another iPhone/iPod dock. Not only will it handle all of your charging and syncing needs, but it will also allow you to play your music through any audio device with a line in jack. The design of the dock while simple, brilliantly projects sound from your iPhone or iPod toward the user while also enhancing microphone reception for crystal clear speakerphone calls.
In a nutshell, this dock is great. It's compact, brilliantly designed, and honestly couldn't be easier to use. Simply attach the data cable, drop your iPhone or iPod in, and sync the device with iTunes. I love the pass through feature. I'm planning on using the dock with my home stereo during the upcoming holidays to play seasonal music during get-togethers.
Pros:
Compatible with all current iPhone/iPod models. Great design. Compact, lightweight, very simple to use. Personally, it's great that I don't have to remove my rubber case to set the iPhone on the dock. I've tested other docks at retail stores where this wasn't the case. I have had to at least remove the case from the bottom of my phone before it would sit securely in the dock. It should be noted though, that this is the only case I have. This may not be the same for those with bulky hard plastic cases. The sound reflection works great, almost as if the speaker were pointed straight at you. The same goes for calls. No more repeating yourself if you're a fan of talking on speakerphone. The audio pass through works as expected. The 3.5mm plug on the pass through allows the user to connect the dock to an external stereo or other set of speakers.
Cons:
It's advertised on the packaging that syncing is simple with the USB interface. This is true, but you have to use the standard cord that you get with your device from Apple. I would have liked to see a standard USB port on the back of the dock. That way, you could use a regular USB cable and not the cord that comes with the device from Apple. Such a design would enable the user to keep their standard cable as a backup. Portrait mode only. A landscape feature would be great with this for watching movies or podcast videos.
