Thinking of getting an ipad... will a Bose ipod Soundstation charge it?

thekooman

hi all,
thinking of getting the ipad (i know, i know, 2 is not far away but i won't need a camera or anything like that!).
We have a bose ipod soundstation at home which we use very little. I was gonna get the ipod dock for charging it on the bedside locker and use it as a clock.
would i be able to use the soundstation to charge it with the dock extender in the below link? would the ipad be safe, i.e. it wouldn't fall over? anyone have any experience of this would be great to hear from you?

Which Bose dock are you getting? Just having a quick look at Bose's website, they all seem to be compatible with iPhones/ iPods. Might be worth dropping in to one of their shops if there's one near you or give them a call.

I have the older version myself, it doesn't support the iPhone I was actually in the Dundrum shop yesterday about getting my dock fixed, the connection is gone on it. Helpful guys in there.

the ipad needs a ten watt charger afaik. iphone /ipod are only 5 watt normally so be make sure you check before you buy.

There is a number on some Bose devices that they can tell if it's in warranty or not. I had an issue with head phones of theirs that I got as a gift and they replaced them for me based on this number (it's a manufacturing date number). I'm not sure where you'll stand as I don't know if their warranty is transferable. I do know they have a flat fee for repair of the docks though, it is €89 all in and you get your dock back within 10 working days.
