The offer is available while supplies last or until April 16, 2006 and is limited to one PocketDock per person.

there are only two setbacks on this offer
1. need to pay $6.50 for shipping
2. NO HEADPHONE JACK :bigunhappyface:

Rather, no line out

ya, i was really excited when i saw this offer

i entered in all my info and was about to hit order until i double checked and didn't see a headphone jack

and that makes me a sad panda :sexualharassmentpandaface:

No line out is the problem. A second headphone jack is superfluous.

 

[feh1325]

there are no stupid questions, just stupid people...

with that in mind, wat is the difference between the second headphone jack in the sendstation and a line out?

Generally speaking, a headphone output is routed through the player's internal amplifier. A line out is a fixed-volume output that bypasses the internal amp and is specifically intended to be used with an external amplifier. Think of it as being the same as the L/R analog outputs of a CD player.

Yeah they offered this a few months back. Cool for those us with older iPods and want to free up our existing cables for other computers, but it's a model I can't suspect they're selling much of at this point.
