Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Almost perfect   2009-04-30

Pros:
One unit, less clutter, good workmanship, solid, powered hub.

Cons:
USB hub acts a bit odd sometimes, e.g. with some USB flash drives. It is really weird that iPods won't charge via the built-in power connection (they charge from the computer's USB input). Reads Memory Stick Duos, but good luck getting them out of the slot again, full-size Memory Stick Adapter required.

Other:
Line-out would have been nice but this dock is meant to be used with a computer, through which the audio would play presumably.

Overall a good buy though, especially since many multi-function card readers are no longer including CF capabilities.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Great Dock for iPhone 3g, iPods, and Memory Card Reading   2009-04-02

Hi All,

I had reviewed this product before and gave it a 4/5 for price. However, it would seem the price has been lowered and thus my review is now 5/5.
My original review is below and has been updated to show 5/5:

Hi All,

I bought this Simplifi to do two things....one to clean up my desk and get rid of the various usb cables and memory card adapters laying around, and two so I could drop my iPhone 3g in to the dock and let it sync/charge at night when I get home. It does both things and it does them perfectly. What I love is the look of the device...its completely Appleized ( a new verb perhaps :-)). It reminds me of a miniature airport extreme/apple tv with the rubberized bottom. The device is weighted perfectly so that it will not tilt when you put a ipod, iphone, etc. on it.

The box includes:
The simplifi.
An AC Adapter @ 5v.
A Mini USB to USB Cable.
Adapters - 9-10-11-12-13-14 (iPod Classic 80, iPod Classic 160, iPod Nano 2nd Gen, iPhone (1st gen and 3g), iPod Nano 3rd gen, iPod Touch, iPod video 5th gen 30 and 80gb models, iPod shuffle (via usb ports on back).

The unit basically has a dock on the top and memory card readers in the front that read Compact Flash, SD, XD, and Memory Stick. The back has the connection from the device via mini usb to the computer (using included usb to mini usb cable) and 2 extra usb ports.

There are some issues that people are having, not necessarily for me, that are related to the iPhone/iPod's not charging unless the USB is plugged into the computer. My thought here is that you are buying a device which does more then just charge an iPhone/iPod...it is a USB hub and memory card reader. More then likely you will always have it connected via USB to your computer and always have the adapter plugged in so that the USB portion is powered. I would not worry about such an issue...it is not a deal breaker.

It is a great device and every function works perfectly well...I have had zero issues reading SD and Compact Flash cards, I have had 100% success with my iPhone 3g and my 160gb iPod classic. I have tested it on a MACBOOK, a Mac Pro, and a IBM Thinkpad w500 running windows 7. So YES...it is a cross platform device.

Other then that Amazon shipped it quickly and saving on tax/shipping via 2nd day made it a easier purchase then it normally would have been.

PS. One other thing that I failed to mention that is a bit of a nuisance is that the included mini-usb to usb cable is a BIT short....it seems sized if you were placing this next to a laptop or attaching to the back of a apple display with usb. In no way is this cable long enough to reach a desktop pc/mac pro, etc... Luckily mini-usb to usb cables are not expensive and readily available.
