Please help - Ipod Touch and Docking station

[FlashSA]

Guys, I need help!

I have been tasked with sourcing an ipod and dociking station for an uncle (don't ask) but I know nothing about Apple products at all.

I want to suggest a Ipod Touch 32GB: http://www.takealot.com/apple-ipod-touch-32gb-space-grey/PLID29433641
and he wants this docuking station: http://www.takealot.com/philips-docking-system/PLID28011543
Docking station spec's: http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/DS7530_05/for-ipod-iphone-battery-ac-powered/specifications

Can someone confirm that the Ipod Touch connector will be compatible with the philips? I know there was a changing recently to lightning connector or something...

That docking station has a 30pin connector. The new iPods/iPhones and iPads use the new Lightning connector. You can buy an adapter that makes the newer devices compatible with older accessories.

However using it wirelessly with Bluetooth will work.

Thanks - I am going to suggest this one to the uncle instead: http://www.takealot.com/jbl-onbeat-venue-for-iphone-5/PLID27300929 Money isn't really a problem for him and this one has the lightning connector
