Please help a tech challenged soul! I need to buy a docking station,
preferably with speakers, for an 11-year old's "ipod nano". Basic
requirements:

1. Should charge the ipod with AC
2. Should have decent speakers.
3. It needs to be caried around often, won't just sit on a desk, so
weight and shape need to accommodate that.

I am looking for the proverbial best value, not flimsy and cheap, nor
expensive deluxe.

How much would that cost?

Please suggest specific models or brands to seek or avoid.

Thanks for all advice.
