Hi all,
Can the dock connector cover of the 3G iPod fit the mini?

I thought they were difference sizes though? That's why you needed a different dock for the gen3's and the minis?

if the connector is the same, why cant you use the ipod mini with the gen3's dock?

Because its thinner and smaller width-wise than the iPod?

The dock connector on the mini is centered in all directions. If you look at the regular iPod the connector is not centered from front to back. Because of this off center condition the mini's case catches on the dock when you insert it. It kinda fits but not very well. I tried to insert my mini onto a regular iPod dock and it didn't fit.

'cause the base of the mini wouldn't fit in the slot of the iPod dock.
