Powered speaker dock using pogo pins?

Has anyone seen a powered speaker dock that uses then pogo pins for easy mount and dismount? Be nice if Bose made on like the one for iOS crap

Recently they (Asus or Google) released a landscape desktop dock with pogo pins for the n7. There is an aux in port to connect speakers for what I've read.... maybe your base speakers can connect that way?
Cheers,

FYI, a search for POGO in this Nexus 7 Accessories forum turns up the following thread...
Nexus 7 POGO GPIO PINS on Side
On page 3 of that thread is a link to the following article which has the following picture of the ASUS dock which apparently will sold at a $49.99 USD price point, and supposedly will be available on or after August 24th from ASUS...

why they can't release these basic accessory at launch is beyond me
any good suggestion with bluetooth stereo receiver?

Nexus 7 makes for a nice little workstation, too!

And, yes, that is indeed a bluetooth Apple mouse paired to my Nexus 7. See, Apple and Google can co-exist!
The keyboard is a ZaggKeys Flex and the mouse is an old bluetooth Apple Mighty Mouse that i had laying around. The case is an Exotek slim case. The keyboard works really well, and is pleasant to type on. No issues for me on the spacing or size of the keys. The mouse works surprisingly well, just needed to adjust the mouse pointer speed, everything else just worked. The case is a perfect fit, adds very little bulk to the Nexus 7 and the stand works really well. I did need to bend the clasp that holds the cover closed on the case just a tad because i found it was a bit tight and hard to undo. Not sure if what i did made much of a difference or if it just needed to break-in and loosen up a bit, but after just a couple days it no longer feels too tight, holding it firmly closed when it's supposed to and i can open it without much effort now.
This is my first foray into the Android world and enjoying the Nexus 7!

Do you know if the magic mouse can be paired with it? If so, any idea how?

Dell BT Travelmouse paired with Nexus 7
I have successfully paired a Dell BT Travelmouse via Bluetooth which I used on my old notebook (which already died).

Tiny keyboard (external)

I just bought a Rii Handheld keyboard (RII-518), and I am very happy with it.
It looks like this:

only smaller than you think, and it was only 35 dollars from this site: http://dx.com/p/mini-handheld-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-93118
It pairs beautifully, and the only think I don't like about it is that it doesn't work right away when you turn it on. You sort of have to push a few buttons, and then change apps - but then it works fine. I usually just turn it on when I start using it, and then don't turn it off until I put the tablet away for the night.
Anyway, try it if you think it's for you.

Tempted to buy this. One of those items I would really like to test drive before I commit though. I have would be using it for note taking in class probably. Thoughts?

Looks nice n compact..
I've got one of the diNovo mini's.

Works well, and you have mouse control as well with the trackpad on the right.

I got this one and really like it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0QLLO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01

Both of those are rechargeable? And have you tried to do any extensive note taking?

Seems way over priced, have seen similar ones for 10$ shipped on ebay, Chinese ones

Build quality on the cheap Chinese ones can be very poor though, waste of $10 if you get it and the keys don't work properly.

Well, I won't say the Rii's quality is comparable to an old IBM Model M keyboard, but it certainly works! Well worth the money IMO.

Picked up PS3 Controller UPDATE: SPIDER PODIUM STAND!!!

Local Gamestop in Van Nuys was selling a Gold PS3 controller for 40 dollars and 43 after tax. Picked it up as I was trying to get a controller for my Note. Works great, so far tested it out on emulators with wireless and no issues whatsoever. It even works with games like Shadowgun Dead Zone natively. Get an app called six axis from the market to enable it to play all the other games.
I'd call and check before heading out though just to be sure.
GameKlip So yeah, im thinking about buying this. I emailed the guy to see if they're making one for the note 2

k guys i was doing some research and found out about the Spider podium stands. They are $5 and is cheaper than gameklip which is around 15. Plus with the spider, i can form it to use it in my car etc.
Heres a video of spider podium + ps3 controller

Spider Podium, currently sold out. The genuine one is 20 bucks but I think even that is a better option than gameklip [if they even make it for the note 2] as I can mold it to any shape I want.

I own three of these bad boys, its great they connect up to each other each with 3.5 out put and each has its own 3.5 in put so theoretically you could have an infinate chain of these. Each has its own battery. I have a wire connected to mine to extend the reach between the device and speakers

I have these too, great little speakers. They'll go nicely plugged into the official docking station when it's finally available in the UK.

X-minis are pretty damn impressive for the size of the things if you place them on a suitably resonant surface. I've got a Beacon Phoenix now though, mainly bought for the convenience of Bluetooth but that sounds even better for its size and doesn't have an irritatingly short cable

I got the slightly larger ones that do stereo:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PK1COG/ref=wms_ohs_product
50 bucks vs 2x20 for a pair of Mini II and a special mini stereo to pair of mini mono cable. I should point out that you can always get the stereo to pair of mono cable to expand that mini at any time. Also you can get the max ones for less than 50. Quick search for the type of stereo mono cable: http://www.amazon.com/STEREO-3-5mm-...&keywords=Cable+stereo+mini+to+dual+mini+-RCA

I love my X-minis , have the II, the Max II and the Kai (bluetooth).
They get used by everyone in the family and I'll often use them with my N7 for streaming radio (buddyjacked or chained) or watching a movie.
My thoughts here.
