Hey guys, I just bought an iPod Speaker System/Dock for my iPod Touch. Im really impressed with it, especially the fact that the ipod can just stand nicely thanks to the dock and the sound quality is nice.
When I connect the ipod to listen to some music with the speakers, I place it on the dock. The dock as well as playing the music through the speakers, charges the ipod. Im sure this is a nice feature but it makes me a little bit concerned. If ive just charged my ipod to full using my PC and then want to use the speaker system, the ipod touch will charge more through the speaker dock and obviously I dont need it to keep charging all the time.
Is it normal for ipod speaker systems to charge the ipod automatically as well as play the music? and is it a risk to keep using it as the automatic charge may cause damage to the ipod touch battery?
I hope you can all understand what I mean

Won't cause any problems either. They can sit on a charger while running quite happily these days ...
charge them wrong and kaboom
it is not left to the user or 3rd parties to charge control such devices. the controller is on the device itself. it knows when to stop.
as for ipod docks, the only good one was the klipsch ifi, sadly discontinued. most are built more for looks than sound quality.
