I purchased the single dock version of this about a year or so ago, when I wanted to have a good alarm clock to use with my iPad as a display. That was my first foray into Philips iPad systems, and I was very impressed. The sound from such a small device was fantastic, the remote worked well and allowed even dealing with turning alarms on and off and dimming. All the things I liked about that came forward into this model, with the dual dock feature.Unfortunately, I had given my other unit away to a friend when I got an iHome smaller circular unit with a base that lit up. But while that one sounded good as well (but not as good), the thing I liked best about it, the lighting feature, died. So I've been left with this half working alarm clock for my iPhone only for the last four or five months. So when this one came up as an option for the Vine program, I jumped on it, since I had already bought it's "older brother" and really liked it.It arrived, and obviously wasn't any big deal to learn the ins and outs on, since it's mostly the same. Radio sounds good and, as long as you get the cord straightened out some, picks up the stations around here well. My iPad2 works great with it, as does my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. I wish they had little bumpers on the back dock though towards the ends where the iPad reaches, to help it stay straight. Might be a little OCD of me, but it bugs me when it's cocked a bit to the side. I would have preferred something that stopped it from tipping when fully seated, to maintain the right orientation instead of having to tilt it a bit back and forth to find the right spot.But it does NOT work with the third generation iPad. It fails in a major fashion. When the third gen iPad is put on it, it locks the whole system. It's not just that the iPad doesn't work with it, that the remote doesn't work or won't play, the radio stops working altogether. Everything is unusable. The iPhone 4s in the small dock won't work, none of the buttons on the remote will work, none of the buttons on the unit will work. It's completely frozen. Unfortunately, when you remove the third gen iPad from the dock, suddenly all the stuff that you tried to input suddenly happens as if it's been queued up.The sound is still incredible from such a little device, the looks are great. The app leaves a bit to be desired though, especially compared to the iHome app which I liked, and of course does not work on here. I do have several alarm clock apps though that DO work.The other part of my switch from the iHome device I had is that I'm at least back to a unit with it's own alarm clocks as well, two of them. Which works great so I have an alarm when I'm by myself, or a second alarm at a different time when I have to get my 8 year old to school. Not dependent on any device being docked. Or you can leave them turned off and just use whatever alarm you want on the iPhone or iPad (and yes, it also works with the first gen iPad).There will need to be some kind of firmware update for it though to get past this third gen iPad issue, since it's not a software problem, you can't even get it to see that it's on a Philips device to prompt to load the software. I loaded it separately and same problem with or without it. Since that's what I wanted this for, the larger iPad again, it's a pain for me until they can fix it.Edit 3/23/12Just talked with Philips support - their engineers are (obviously) aware of the problem and are working on a fix for it. I asked if they'll notify owners who have the unit registered through their website with an email or something, or if we just have to keep an eye on the support page. The reply was that if a customer registered it and opted for email notification, they will be sent an email notice, and it will also be updated on the support site.Edit 4/16/12Unit is working now with my third generation iPad. There may have been a software update for the Philips app that did it, since there's still nothing on their support page about it, but I can now use my iPad third generation on the rear dock, play music, and have the alarm play through the radio. Since it no longer locks up the unit, I've changed my rating accordingly, from 3 stars to 5 stars, since it is doing everything it should now.Edit 4/19/12Now unit is back to not working with my third generation iPad. Couldn't have been a philips app update that fixed anything since the Philips app opens and immediately shuts down. I just tried again tonight to dock it, and out of six attempts to dock it and get it to function, it only kind of worked once... So clearly there is still something going on here that has to be addressed...
