Will the speaker charge the battery for an Apple iPod portable player?

After the speaker has been plugged into a working AC outlet and the appropriate adapter for your portable player has been connected to the docking tray of the speaker, charging will automatically begin once the dock connector  terminal of your iPod player or iPhone device has been set into the docking tray The charging status will appear in the display of your portable player.
