I have an update on the travel speakers.
These speakers do not actually get charged. How they work is:
1. If you wish to use it with your iPhone or iPod, place the iPhone or
iPod in the docking station. All audio will be routed to the speakers,
however they will not charge the iPhone or iPod.
2. If you wish to use speakers with a laptop, for example, you have to
connect the two cables I described below. The 3.5 mm cable goes in the
computer's audio out socket. The USB cable powers the speakers when used
in this configuration.
Otherwise the below still applies. I should also mention there is an
on/off switch somewhere at the top of the unit. The two push button
controls are volume down and volume up respectively.

Happy New Year to you all from here in the UK! We are 11 hours into
2012. Here is my first post.
I received iPhone/iPod Travel Speakers as a Christmas present from my
father. It looks like it has a docking station as well as you fit the
iPhone or iPod into the opening at the centre. The only way I can
describe it is a larger than usual toilet roll lol. The two speakers at
either end look like spotlights. How to set it up it looks like:
1. Plug one end of the 3.5 mm cable into the correct slot on the device.
Plug the other end into the iPhone or iPod's audio out socket.
2. Another interesting observation is that you appear to be able to
charge the speakers via the supplied USB cable. So you would plug the
USB end into an available USB port on the computer, then plug the other
end into the correct socket on the device. You will know if it is the
correct socket as it will go in without resisting. It is charging as I
speak.
There are also a couple of push button controls, LEDs, additional
sockets, etc. But I do not know what they do yet. The only problem I am
having is that the iPod does not want to fit properly unlike the iPhone.
Unfortunately my father could not tell me if it was compatible with the
iPod Touch 4, however it does say on the packaging compatible with
iPhone and iPod. Please advise on this one. Thanks!
I am therefore wondering if you have heard of this device before and if
so what do you think to it?
I will post a separate message about my desktop sound dock.
Anyway, a very Happy accessible 2012 to you all! Lol!
