I am looking to get a dock for my 3g iPhone. I have somewhat narrowed it down to the following:

Apple iPhone 3G Dock. At $29.00, clearly the most expensive option.

Generic Brand New Apple Ipod Video, Iphone, Video, Photo USB Docking Cradle. Cheapest option at $11.99, but seems almost too cheap to be any good.

Apple iPod USB Sync and Charge Desktop Docking Cradle with AC Wall Charger. This is the front-runner because of the wall charger (so the iPhone will charge with the computer off) and middle-of-the-road price.

What do you think of these options or please, I am open to any suggestions you may have!

Keep an eye on eBay. I picked up a genuine iPhone 3G dock for $17 shipped.

Thanks, but I have sworn off eBay.

I guess I am more interested in any opinions regarding functionality. I mentioned the prices in case there is little or no difference in performance, then I would just go for the cheapest one.

The new iPhone has a different shape it doesn't fit in any normal iPod dock, so make sure anything you buy for it specifically says it will fit the 3G.
