Both Expansys and the swedish retailer dustin have the new dockingstation in stock. I have ordered one to be used as a computer replacement in my summer cottage. It has two usb ports and vga/video output.

I received it today
It comes with no extra charger, so you have to use your old one. It has 2 usb ports, 1 vga, 1 s-video and 1 composite port. Oddly enough it has 2 mini-usb ports. One for syncing and one for charging. I thought that it would be enough with the sync port as it charges as well.
It can be abit fiddly to get the Athena in place,but otherwise it works like a charm. Now I need to figure out how to change the keyboard layout (swedish) and follow up on the mouse pointer issue. After that is sorted out I have a simplistic PC for visually impare (the text is hughe on a 17" screen).

£69.95!!!!! What a rip-off. I know expansys are expensive but that is a joke (sorry). I think I will wait until they filter thru on to ebay.
I bought it from Dustin for SEK 1024 so I don't think it is a rip-off. They do not have a history of over charging. I suspect a device of this price class have expensive acessories. I am a bit disappointed that it doesnt come with a charger.

One seller used to have the have them on ebay at about the same time that expansys used to have them (although I think that they didn't have the second USB port). However, it looked to me like they were withdrawn because suddenly neither expansys nor this ebay seller had any in stock at the same time. Shouldn't be long before they appear on ebay. I seem to recall they were asking about £30 for it but I could be wrong.

Does it come with an audio out? I try to figure out how to enjoy music while using docking station.
Yes, it comes with audio out. I haven't tested it though. Someone in another thread, complained about lack of sound when using the dockingstation.

Yes, it does.
can someone find one a bit cheaper? I'd like it for playing around testing external hard discs and accessories with but 70 quid is ridiculous for internet prices. Must be very few of them or something.......wonder who supplies Expansys as you don't seem to see their items on Ebay.
might require 2 chargers for extra battery
The docking station has two mini-usb ports. One for sync and one for charge. When I attach the charger to the charging port, nothing happens. My conclusion is, that the extra charging port is for the extra battery. This would mean that if you want to charge both the Advantage and an extra battery, you would have to attach an extra charger to it. If this is the case, it is even more odd that the docking station didn't come with a charger.
The only explanation I could find, would be that the mini-usb has a limited power capability and wouldn't be enough to charge both unit and battery.
//Johan
Joohan
Try to insert only the battery in its slot and switch between the 2 mini USB ports then see what happens.
USB doesnt have enough amps to charge the Ameo as it is, if you look at the mains adapter its a 1 amp output, usb from pc im sure is only half of that at 500 milli amp. the second mini usb may be to attach a second mini usb to get the full charge, I have an external 2.5 HD and it comes with a usb to two mini usb to boost the current. even then it still strugles, without the external mains adapter, which is 1.4 amps.
I could be wrong, just my oppinion, But I notice this when im in the car using usb charger, it keeps everything runnning, "tomtom" but wont really charge it.

This has been discussed before - it depends on the car charger you are using. The one that came with my Brodit holder happily charges the Ameo while using satnav and screen brightness on full.
Bought it for 100 euros and I like it very much!!
It's standing right here on my desk and I use it everyday. Don't want to go without anymore!!

I think you're probably right, I didn't notice the smaller picture. I stand corrected.
What I will say is that the Expansys one IS an official HTC docking station. It has two usb ports and I suspect that it is of a superior build quality to the GPS For Less model.
This does not detract from the fact that the official HTC dock is a bit of a rip off!!!
cradle looks pretty good. No problem with a single USB - can just use a hub i guess!
Plus looks like no logo on it so I can spray it silver to match my Ameo! WOOHOO
Anyone bought one yet?
I received it, a couple of days ago... quality is not that good... difficult to connect my X7500 in it... the VGAexpansion connector is not well aligned with the USB...
Doesn't charge the X7500 itself, but no problem with the spare battery..
I didn't try the VGA or Video out ...
no problem to synchronize with Vista ...
So... I am not sure I would recommend this accessory, although it is very cheap
I've questioned the store and they confirmed IT'S NOT THE HTC.
Even is half the price, I wont buy it...
Best regards,
Deiota

I suspected it would be too good to be true. I doubt that Expansys would overcharge their customers to that degree as much as I doubt that GPS for Less could undercut Expansys by half. Presumably the cost of the docking station is set by HTC: the long and short of it is that HTC's device is a rip-off, but a cheap docking station with poor build quality and usability (if opinions are to be believed) is equally a rip-off at 30 quid.
The bad build quality is just on persons view, and i doubt gpsforless would have taken it on board if it was crap, as they are also a reputable company. It is also well known that expansys are rip-off merchants, ya just have to check and compare prices with ebay and various other websites on many items to see how they over-charge customers.

I've had crap stuff from GPS For Less, like car mounts that fall apart. You get what you pay for. Expansys don't set the price of the HTC docking station, they just may not be discounting it very much or reselling what looks like a very inferior plasticky design.
I find all the Athena docking solutions to be unappealing because of the need to slide the device onto the USB port. It has connectors on the base for the keyboard; why not add a few more pins in the first place for USB/power/VGA and have it drop into the dock.
One more week ... now the HTC 7500 can be connected much easier to the cradle...
I will make some pictures tomorow and post them....
With Vista pro .... I have to take off the USB connector from the cradle and then plus it again.... another way it doesn't get synchronize.. It is difficult to say it is the cradle fault or Vista or X7500 .... just it is anoying..
The fact is that when the spare battery is charging it is almost impossible to charge the X7500 itself ... so I have to control, wheter the X7500 is fully charged or not, quite often...
Just received the official HTC Dock. Good quallity, and when I put a usb stick in one of the ports and my logitech mouse in the other, both worked immediately. I am impressed indeed. This is worth the high price

We did audio mods to the docking stations after we purchased them. Something you might want to consider, and if you're asking about privacy, no the telephone conversation doesn't get transmitted to the TV or AV receiver.

Hehehe...obviously with this cable alone you won't be able to charge at the same time connect to the tv.
You will have to use either an extender for the audio video cables or a USB extender.

The original question,the way I understood is "how to charge to tab at the same time connect to tv and watch movie or make presentation". I was assuming that there is no electrical outlet nearby to plug the charger and connect the usb cable.
As to how long or how short, the specs are all there in the dealextreme website.
I have no intention to defend this cable, My intention in posting this is to inform anybody interested that this is available for a cheap price and I am using it with no problems. If you are not interested to buy an 8 USD cable then you should instead buy the original Samsung AV cable here

I had also measured the rca cables, and the pins on the 30 pin connector and the have contact each other.

As I have stated this cable is an imitation/duplicate so I obviously cannot answer for the manufacturer/designer of this cable. Notice that the Samsung cable does not have USB. Maybe this is an after thought? Also notice that the cable are a bit small size and may not last long.....
As to complaints about this cable not working,maybe you can send your cable back to dealextreme as they do have return policy. I cannot vouch for the return service as I have not tried and have not experienced any defect on the items I got from dealextreme.
As I said-"you get what you pay for"......peace to all!
yes....we always get what we paid
The picture is smaller, up and down some inches black bar, and left rihrt very small black space

I'm looking for EU part of charger. Can I buy it separetly? I buy my TP in US and I use adapter, but will be more comfortable without.
I'm sure you can buy it, have you checked HP's site or ebay?
You can use the charger that your TP came with in EU. It's a multi-Voltage charger. All you need is an adapter to turn the two blade US plug to a 2 prong EU plug. I travel to Greece quite a bit and I take my gears with me when I go there. I just make sure that I have the right plug adapter. You can get these for less than a buck from online stores like amazon.
My english is poor. I'm just looking for part from attachment
Yes all you would need is a plug adapter and not a separate transformer since the one included is universal. I don't see where you can get the OEM plug, but you can get a Europe to US plug converter. It just converts the plug pins, there is no transformer. I didn't even know they made these, definitely not NEMA compliant.

In my country i bought it from local e-commerce marketplace,
It also available in OPPO offline store,
Not sure about yours, but you always can try eBay. Keywords should be "OPPO VOOC Mobilepack or Powerbank"
^ 0 results on ebay for that i want one with dash charge and not have to wait for oneplus to release grrr this cheap £20 i got in town for pokemon takes for ever to charge up ffs
There is no other powerbank that support dash charge with USB C than the Oneplus Powerbank.
Oppo sell VOOC powerbank that is compatible with dash charge (it's the same thing for who didn't know yet) but micro usb cable is built in to you have to use a micro usb to usb C converter, so that my may explain why orignal poster asked a built in USB C. Same as Oppo VOOC powerbank but with usb C built in : it don't exist.
Only the oneplus dash powerbank with the dash cable can work, if it appear someday.

Just use it with an adapter!
Available at Alibaba or Amazon.
I even found one Chinese manufacturer - apparently the only one - offering Mini-USB to USB-C adapters.
(Most common are Micro- to USB-C adapters.)
Actually throwing away chargers, which are still working, just because of an other plug standard is something I don't like.
Looking for the same thing. Asking a guy in Mediamarkt yesterday he said, still not on the market
From what I have read on this forum so far, there is no power bank that will charge at Dash Charge speed. You only get Dash Charge with OP's wall socket Dash Charger and supplied cable (well, not entirely sure it has to be their cable to work.)
It's explained in this thread: "For those wondering about using a power bank to charge their OP3" (by EP2008) [sorry, can't post links yet]
I think that I will go with the adapter, anything with 2 A and QC capacity will still charge the OP3 very fast.
