Bought the Ipod 160gb 6th Generation while abroad. Have not put it into operation yet. However my wife wants to buy me a small stereo system such as the iLuv or an alarm clock such as the iHome. However no-one has been able to tell her if my new iPod will work on them.

Does anyone know if they will work with the new one. I don't think there will be a problem. However..............
 
I know that the iTouch does not work with many/all of the accessories that were made for the previous versions of iPod. So be careful!

You'll probably get your answer there.
 
I wanted to know the answer myself so I had a look at iLounge!

Here's a breakdown of what they say:

''Apple has kept the top and bottom ports in the same places, the same footprint, and almost the same thicknesses as the prior models. Though you can’t expect form-fitting hard plastic cases to fit perfectly, and the iPod classics will be a little looser in soft cases, old designs will do just fine for protection until new ones come along.

Audio and charging accessories will generally work properly with iPod classic. Unlike the iPhone, which still doesn’t work with our favorite car accessories, iPod classic works just fine for audio with the accessories we previously installed—it doesn’t put up any nag screens, fail to charge, or fail to play back music.''

It does say that it won't work with previous video playback accessories.
