The person who created ihome electronics is Micheal Jackson. Yes, the singer.
I have a smaller iHome and on the back there should be an on-of switch. You know your iHome is on if there is a red light glowing on the front of your iHome.
Yes, the iHome does charge the iPod.
An iHome is a speaker that you can plug your ipod into and sometimes includes a clock.
I don't know BUT Apple did not make the ihome.
Ihome speakers can be purchased at such websites as: www.amazon.com or www.ihome.com.
It depends which one you want.The ihome 290 around $100
ihomeaudio.com
The ihome ip1 has great bass with subwoofers and is cheap
You don't need an iHome, but it is a nice accessory to play music out loud.
12/24/07 I called Ihome and was told that the Ihome 2Go product does not work with the 3rd generation Ipod Nano.
iHome for the iPod can be purchased at a local Apple store and some electronics stores. If one prefers to shop online, then the iHome is available on Amazon.
