Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
Can someone help me?

Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...

    I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

    Looks like you will need to connect speakers to your Universal Dock for this version of the iPod.

  • Does the ipod touch 3rd generation not support games?

    I recently purchased an ipod touch 3rd generation for my granddaughter.  We loaded music onto it with some difficulty but have been unable to load games.  Am I doing something wrong or does this unit not support games??

    Yes.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    Also are yo sure yo have a 3G?
    A 3G goes to iOS 5.1.1 while a 2G only goes to iOS 4.2.1

  • IPod Nano (3rd generation) won't sync...

    I tried reinstalling the iPod after disconnecting my Firewall.  Still nothing.  Any suggestions?

    Hello Crozby,
    Use this to see if you can get the ipod seen again:
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    After that use this to give us the exact error message:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Lets see what happens.
    Hope this helps.

  • My ipod nano (3rd generation) won't sync to my computer anymore. I share the computer with other family members and there ipod's sync fine to their iTunes, but mine won't work. How do I fix it? :)

    .

    Why won't it sync anymore? Does iTunes still see the device? If so, are you getting any error message during the sync process?  Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.

  • Using Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote with Ipod Nano (3rd generation)

    Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any way i can make the Ipod Nano(3rd generation) compatible with the Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote. I know on the box it says the earphones are only compatible with a few ipods, like the 4th generation ipod nano. But Is there any program i can download or use to allow the ipod to recognize the earphone remote and mic?
    Thanks a lot.

    I'm quite convinced the answer is no for that Apple mic.
    I do believe recording is possible on the Nano 3G with the right attachment. But I don't think the sound comes through the headphone jack the way they do on the nano 4G and iPhone 3G/touch.
    This review http://www.macworld.com/article/60004/2007/09/3gipodnano.html says it's possible, but when I look at "Belkin, Griffin Technology, and XtremeMac" I don't find much... doesn't sound like they worked very well ... the iKaraoke is compatible

  • Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

    My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
    i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
    a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
    but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?
