Apparently when Apple launched the 3rd gen ipod touch and the 3gs Iphone they changed the way they charge.

Connectors for the charger work on a different pin in the multiconnector, so you have to get a docking station/lead that is compatable with the 3rd gen.

They will work with the music side but wont charge. maybe you can get a new link lead from Sony or some sort of adaptor.
