Is it possible to set up an Ipod touch so it displays apps while it's in the dock such as weather or Clock etc

You cannot get the normal Apple Apps to do this, however there are a few third party ones that can manage this.

You can buy a dock at Tesco that comes with one - it shows the time and weather etc.

Many of the alarm apps from the app store have this feature. Quite a few have free versions to try out..

Try this one, it is free
