These are the iPods which are declared as compatible on the product packaging and user manual and all official literature. Apple have not approved any other iPods for use in the KEF picoforte so we should not advertise the fact iPod shuffle The iPod shuffle does not have a docking connector and can only be connected via the 3.5mm headphone connection just like any other MP3 player DRM Apple added Digital Rights Management so that external video can only be played out through a docking station which contains an Apple authentication chip. This was not available when the KEF picoforte was designed and no future KEF product is planned. The video can still be displayed on the iPod screen when docked however but not on your TV screen. Docking adapter Apple will provide all future iPods with a compatible docking adapter that will fit into the KEF picoforte Charging Apple have reduced the cost and removed the firewire 5v charging circuit which the KEFdock uses iPhone The iPhone requires significantly extended approval to ensure that it will be compatible with a docking station without effecting the telephone functionality. This includes EMC and interference protection which the KEFdock does not meet. album artwork Album artwork is not supported by the KEFdock. The album artwork can be viewed on the iPod screen but not the TV screen. This is because the album artwork is exported from the iPod as data and not as a TV picture. Its display was slow, low resolution and expensive so a decision was made to disable this feature.
