different clocks, customization, and weather updates. Brightness can be set in the app\u2019s settings. When you\u2019re ready to go to sleep you can swipe anywhere on the screen to easily dim the application so it\u2019s radiating almost no light. The app is free, so you can try it out without purchasing the dock. Just make sure that your dock is properly plugged in to the wall because Rise&amp;Shine will not alert you if you\u2019re iPhone is charging or not.<\/p>\n<p>Although Kensington\u2019s Nightstand Charging Dock is really nothing more than a regular charging dock, it is actually the ideal charger. This dock will charge any iPod or iPhone, which is not always the case with charging docks. Your iPod or iPhone will no longer have to to lie down on a dirty surface. Rest your iPhone in the charging dock and prevent scratches, scuffs, and accidents. Make the most of your iPhone while it\u2019s sitting upright and charging: Watch movies, run visualizers, display RSS feeds, or of course launch Rise&amp;Shine and convert your phone into an amazing digital clock and weather notifier.<\/p>\n<p>Kensington\u2019s Nightstand Charging Dock can be purchased for as low as $22 on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B002F9NSPI\/?tag=chipchick-20\"  >Amazon<\/a>, but it has an MSRP of $29.99, which is the same price as Apple\u2019s own iPhone 3G dock. Below you can find a chart comparing the two docks. The USB charging cord is connected to the dock, and it comes with a USB adapter for wall charging. Unfortunately, there is no audio port on the Kensington\u2019s dock. We have a good feeling it will even work with the iPad, so we\u2019re excited about that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chipchick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/screenshot_034.jpg\"   class=\"thickbox no_icon\" rel=\"gallery-18862\" title=\"screenshot_03\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18979 alignnone\" title=\"screenshot_03\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chipchick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/screenshot_034.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot 034 Kensington Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone and iPod Touch Review\" width=\"324\" height=\"331\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, Kensington has come up with a clever way to make a charging dock\/cable that much more convenient and useful, and they&#8217;ve helped to add to the list of reasons why your iPhone is a Swiss Army Knife of tools.
