iPhone - Docking/Charging

Hey Guys,

Just a question about docking & charging the iPhone,

Im just curious as to whether it is good practice to keep the iPhone in its dock all the time when not in use? The reason I wonder is because, even when my iMac is switched off the iPhone still charges (as does my iPod) - This is because I don't switch the Mac off at the mains, just shut it down so I don't have to crawl under my desk to switch on power every time I want to use my Mac lol!

Thats all I was wondering basically, I ask because of battery life and the whole 'battery conditioning' thing which I have always done religiously with all my other gadgets to ensure the best possible performance from them.

Just after thoughts & opinions really,

Cheers.

Chris.
