Griffin announces AirClick with dock connector

Yeah, I agree with the above. Unless these manufacturers start delivering pass-thru solutions that maintain normal dock conenctor functionality (esp. lineout), I'm not going to by single one. What's the purpose of this thing if you can only use it under battery charge. When Apple's licensing fee greed causes design/functionality problems, that's not good for anybody, including Apple.

Also, because of the lack of the Dock pass-through, and how wide it is, AirClick Dock is completely incompatible with the iPod nano.

Come to think of it, the deletion of the remote port is a ploy by Apple to make all accessories of this type use the dock connector and in turn pay the dock connector licensing fee to Apple. Good for Apple ... bad for the consumer in more ways than one as shown above.

This thing is going to need a dock pass-thru on the bottom to be of any use. I use an air click in my Ipod photo in my car and I love it.

The RF receiver plugs into the dock connector on the iPod and precludes the use of the dock for line out audio and charging. This is the first example I have seen that shows the problems Apple have caused by deleting the remote control socket next to the headphone jack on the new iPods.

Dude, it's an "RF" remote... it is NOT IR (infrared).
