Docking Station - Nexus 7 Accessories

Has anyone picked one up yet? Are you waiting for the official one to be released? Thoughts..
By the way, the Nexus 7 has been great for me so far.:good:

Are there docks available now? Can't find any on amazon or ebay

I'm waiting for one making use of the 4 pins on the side of the tables so you just put it down, no need to plug microusb in or anything.

The N7's charging slot is flipped around so be careful when purchasing docks that aren't made specifically for the N7.

If anyone gets this dock, let us know if you are able to flip the usb connection around. Also sound quality.
Edit: From the looks of the manual, the usb cord can be moved. This looks like an option. I too would like to see one that makes use of the pogo pins. Soon maybe.

I'm hoping that we see a charge station that uses the 4 dot connector on the side soon.
I brought one yesterday. Might be here before my N7.

I also found this on amazon UK for the same price. But idk weather its free shipping or not
but hey this looks too good to pass up
I saw that too but I don't think I want a dock that uses the micro usb, I think the risk of damaging the port is a worry, the micro usb port on my old HD2 is VERY dodgy after a couple of year of use, it also doesn't do any sort of audio output, which I know the Nexus 7 can do over usb, I am going to wait for one which uses the pogo pins and does audio out so I can just drop it in it to charge with no worry about the usb port and can plug it into my sound system.
Well I found one on amazon UK so maybe the other countries that have amazon will bring it in stock or ebay as well.

Actually, it looks like it has 3 USB ports, not 2, which seems great, definitely the best accessory for a Note 2 user, can't wait to see someone review it.

This dock looks amazing. One question I have is whether the USB/hdmi ports will work without the dock being plugged in to a wall/computer.
Which model of GN2, and how did you get it and the dock for so little?
THanks!

I work for walmart so I get a 25% discount on accessories from verizon, I just got the 16gb version so I saved 25$ because of my discount
I wonder if the HDMI out will work without having to connect it to a power source.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
This looks amazing. I had to order one. I wonder if the HDMI out allows you to display the entire screen like the droid bionic would.
I really want to be able to browse the internet and type documents on a tv with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Does this have a spot for an extra battery to charge in the back there?

DIY dock time ... in 3-6 weeks.

I dunno 'bout you guys, but this definitely does not seem to be an official Google made one, but instead a 3rd party one.

That's because it is 3rd party. Just like when the iphone 5 first came out and apple didn't release the adapter for it, people got it on eBay from 3rd party retailers.

Well I'm in for one. This will be my first magnetic power connector ever. I can finally face apple fanboys with my head held high.
please do let us know if this cable is any good, and if there's truly a difference from opting to this instead of regular micro-usb, could be a phony.

It is too bad google has not released a Pogo charger yet. Personally, I hope they make 1 with a dock rather than just a cable.

Guys I would be skeptical about this. It is just the cable so you are gonna use the same charger transformer so it is not gonna charge any faster and 26 bucks totals seems like a rip. Also is this just for charging or can it transfer data? I'm gonna wait.

Once the OEM POGO cable comes out it'll cost about the same price. I'd wager it costs a little more because it's an "official" part.
As far as charging speed, it's already been found that the N10 is only pulling somewhere between 1.5 and 1.8 amps out of a USB 2.0 cable, which is a limitation of the cable itself and not the transformer. The theory being passed around the forums is that the POGO cable doesn't have the same limitation and can draw the full 2 amps.
Either way, leave us to check it out if you're skeptical. We're not signing any organs away. We know what we're getting into.

Found the information in this thread. They did the research. Not sure if there's an app that can check power draw; is there?

Never seen an app for it.
The only accurate way is to use an external ammeter. You could get a rough number using a household energy monitor, but that would include current used by the power supply
There are a few electrical engineers around this board, someone with a decent lab psu could graph the charging process start to finish

Asus Transformer like dock for Nexus 7?

Hey guys I've been taking a look at the Asus Transformer Prime and its keyboard dock.
Does anyone know if there is or is going to be a keyboard DOCK, not just Bluetooth. But actually uses the 4-pin POGO port on the bottom left hand side to both use it as a USB keyboard and a charging station.
I would pay a lot for this.
Thanks guys!

Smart Dock...

Worth every penny. Got 35% off, even though I would have paid full price for it. Anyone else has it?
What is it? Lol what does this dock do...

Have it, love it. Just installed XBMC on my Note 2 and its so good
The concept to me is really cool. If I didn't already have a laptop it would fill my needs for a computer. Still pricey though...

I don't have one but am very interested in one. Where did you get yours for 35% off?
I have it. Sometimes the hdmi doesn't work. I have to take off and put back on. Otherwise its great. Not $100 worth so im glad I didn't pay full price, but very handy at work and home.
What does this dock do differently? I got a cheap dock on Amazon that works great for me.

It works just like plugging in a standard Micro usb cable into your phone. Option-wise that is.

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.
