70 $ for just a charging dock..you must be kidding.
i don't need dhmi out or syncing in my bedroom

I tend to agree that Dell's dock price is a little nuts, or at least the solution is a little overboard if all you want to do is charge the phone on a nightstand in a way where you can see the screen.
I'll post more details on what I am doing with this later, but this thread seemed like a nice thread to at least post a pic of my contraption, especially considering there's already a token reference to an Apple product.
I had an iPad dock lying around the house that I have NEVER used because my iPad is always in a case. Before anyone makes any Apple jokes, I'm an Android guy through and through now, but the iPad was a gift, and it actually does do a nice job for light internet browsing. Great for the commode, LOL.
Anyway, I had some fun last night with the iPad dock, a dremel, some JB weld, a can of spray paint and, of course, a Streak USB cable. It's pretty rough. The connector moved a little on me before it dried all the way, but it still works perfectly, and the phone isn't crooked as a result. I could make it much cleaner looking on a second try, but whatever, it does the job.
More on how I made it an automated night time solution later, but here are a couple of pics:

How dare you call my precision-engineered work of art "dodgy"!
LOL. It's all good. Cost me no money, and evening of messing around, and one more reason for the wife not to understand me.
HA HA!

Looks nice Spleisher glad you could accomplish it, love those home projects.
To the Original poster, I really like the motorola looking dock aesthetically even more than the Dell dock, doubt they'd make one that sexy but I hope to get the dell branded dock for the holidays.

There's some portable radio / internet radio thingy on sale in the U.S. that also uses a pdmi connector (and has a dock) I can't remember the name of it though.

Spleisher - I love it. Great work!!!

Thanks. It was fun. I could make it much more clean if I had it to do over again, but it works perfectly, so it's cool. The best part about it is the tasker profile for automatically turning it into a clock at night.
Anyway, one more reason for my wife to think I am a nut

Hi was wondering if anyone has tried using a galaxy tab dock, as a charging station as it has a pdmi connection ?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

soz i may be wrong but i looked at the samsung leed in tesco and it is different

The Galaxy Tab lead should work, I have read in several places that the streak's connector is a standard pdmi as is the tab's

You're not wrong, the Galaxy uses another proprietary connector

Yeah sorry I just read on mydellmini site someone has both the Streak &the Galaxy Tab. He states that no they do not work.
The question now is which is standard pdmi, Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak or are neither ?

prob find none are standared or how elce would they rip you off lol

Dock for XT720

Does anybody know of a dock that works with the XT720? I found one from Amazon for the droid that since the micro USB port looks to be in the same place it looks like it might work. I just didn't know if anybody knew of any or knew if this one worked.

I've been told that the docks available that appear to work for our phone will not work due to the positioning of the USB port. Ours are upside down from the droid's or the motoroi's. Unless someone knows otherwise.

Why then included the possibility of docking station, if it's not for milestone XT720

bro, i've been googling this for a while.
3 questions:
1-Is there a dock APP? (or an app that any time I charge my xt720 the app starts?)
2- is there a way to put music though usb port?
3-do you have any link XD?
tks!

Just put a decent strength magnet on the back of your phone and move it around next to the camera and watch what happens, It's pretty neat. Too bad Motorola doesnt have a dock available to take advantage of this feature.

its available, and i have it, but for some reason moto is not putting it up for sale(perhaps other than in korea)..
people who got their XT720 from Starhub Singapore received the dock as free gift, and it does put the phone into multimedia dock mode where it will function as a deskclock/media player.

Here's a link (I don't know why it was hard for me to find now as well...): http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/2425-how-diy-media-car-dock.html
There are dock apps, check around for Droid/Milestone Dock in android market. I tried one once, that worked fine, but I think it only works for 2.1 so prob won't be compatible with Dexter Froyo. I think there are others that do. Check around. I don't know about making it turn on specifically when you charge the phone, could be though.
For myself, I want to get the Spider Podium dock because there are so many uses for it (i.e. dock anywhere at any angle, tripod for the camera, etc...). Only thing is, I don't know how I can get a magnet on that.... guess we'll find out once I get one.

Thanks for the link syrenz!
Google returned a lot of finished docks and few not so good step-bystep instructions.
The Lego dock on the link might be just what I need.

Is it easy to find one of those spider podium in Ottawa or are they sold online only?

I can confirm the Droid 2 dock WILL NOT work for our phone. Everything is the same. same size, but as earlier mentioned the usb port is 180 deg off from ours. Again Motorola sticks it to XT720 owners.

Me too

you can buy the docking station at whymobile.com brouse motorola, then accessories and you with see the docking station for the xt720. its $30 plus shipping from singapore, about $90 Canadian or $100 US total cost I think, not sure its worth it, but it is available.

Nook Color Mounted In Car

So I saw on reddit a nice clean looking install of an Asus tab in a BMW 335i and thought "I'll do the cheaper version all around". I went for the nook color installed in my 325i. Same method, so really the credit belongs to X-ception for his original concept. Nice work buddy.
I took it one step further and this cheap little tablet can be mounted either horizontally OR vertically and still be fine while riding. The downside of this is it most likely wiggles more than the transformer due to how I mounted it to allow either orientation. Also the transformer has some more weight to it.
Right now the audio is only connected via AUX cable, but I will be going the bluetooth route as well once I can manage to save $50 or so. For now it is a fun proof of concept and it can handle whatever kind of driving I've thrown at it. Again minimal wiggling and this is my first test with the nook in the car. For the minimal work required I'm certainly very happy with it.

Could you shrink your images a little? They're kind of massive even at 1680x1050 and I have to scroll 50% of each sideways
Thanks for fixing the images. What are you using to mount the nook?

I wanna see some pictures.

Damn you guys are fast. In the time it took to fix the pics I already had 2 complaints about them haha.
You get the mount here: http://www.proclipusa.com/ Just buy the mount NOT the device holder (they don't have one for the nook color).
Then you buy the "pad tab" mounting system here. http://www.thepadtab.com/
The cool part is I now have one extra pad tab mount (comes with 2) so I can mount my nook somewhere else as well like my wall or something. I'm trying to think of something more creative though.

I know you can't tell from the pic, but its a 6 speed standard transmission and the nook being in the car in NO way interferes with my driving or it would have been pulled out immediately.

Very nice install and use of the PadTab. We love this stuff. We saw the other install on this site and are impressed with the creativity here!

as an e90 owner myself I completely approve! Awesome work.

Nice work!!
I'm trying to figure out how to position/mount the nook in my Jeep without getting in the way of anything else, and without blocking the windshield. It would also need it to be within easy reach of the driver for those days when I go 4-wheeling solo.
I think it would be very neat to use with off-road trail apps and an external GPS.
Any ideas?
Here's what my cockpit looks like:

Honestly? Give windshield mounting a try. I do it in my Tacoma, and unless i move to look at it, the nook does not block my view at all, nor has it caused legal issues (i know it has been seen by officers). Having it mounted right above the center console makes it really easy to use as well, all by my self.

Maybe Try and mount it to the left of the wheel , other then that i would cover your radio with the exception of the volume since you can use the nook as a music device

Aftermarket Dock (using POGO). Would you Kickstart?

So I am usually a lurker on XDA, but I thought I'd get the community's thoughts. I'm a fellow Nexus 7 owner and I want a dock that uses the pogo pins. I'm tired of waiting for ASUS and I also happen to be a mechanical engineer that works in the consumer electronics industry. So, I've mocked up my own design. It's similar to the ASUS design and will have USB charging and audio out. The only way I could bring it to market is Kickstarter.
Before I go through that much effort (Kickstarter has revised its approval process) I want to gauge demand. The sale price would be $30. I've made a poll below to streamline things, but feel free to add comments. Rendered concept below. I am also considering adding stereo RCA outputs as well. Would you want that?

|UPDATE 1|
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm still in the early design phase so feedback helps. To address the request for speakers: at this point it's not something I'm looking to add. It adds cost, development time and complexity. Depending on how well things go if I put it on Kickstarter, a speaker option may be considered. Also, now that I've seen there is some interest, I refined the design slightly to slim it up. See below:

Unfortunately, the Nexus 7 doesn't have any method of outputting an HDMI signal. In fact, the pogo pins do not allow for data, just audio and charging.

well, if you WANT to people buy your dock, putt 2 USB's. i would buy a dock, but a dock like this needs a USB ports. so everybody could use mouses, keyboards or harddrives.

I would love to, but the pogo pins do not support USB OTG (needed for keyboards, usb drives, etc.) That would require connecting to the micro-USB port. Also, as of now, charging while using OTG is almost non-functional. It may be possible with the Nexus 10 (6 pin pogo) but not the 7.

I'd buy it if available on Europe

what is it?

It is a retro styled device that turns your phone into a 80's style desk phone. You can either rest your phone in the base part (or dock) and connect it through the supplied 3.5mm jack or you can use the handset piece separate and also plug just that part into the 3.5mm jack.

It's something I could definitely see using at home. I had the phone in my front pocket and the handset hooked into the jack and was able to use it with no issues. The handset also has its own volume adjustment which is nice. That said, it's probably not for everyone...
It might look a bit strange carrying around the handset piece and using it in public hehe. For a relatively older guy like me (I'm 36), I grew up with these kinds of phones so it definitely appeals to me.
My sister in law just got herself the handset piece (you can buy it separate) and she likes it too.
The base (dock) will accomodate most other phones. But the Note 2 is too wide to fit the opening... so I'm trying to think of ways to either make it fit or some other solution..

Maybe this pic will help clarify...

There is one 3.5mm female jack on the left side of the device that the handset connects to. The handset can either be connected to that, or you can connect it directly to the phone's 3.5mm jack. If you connect the handset to the device, there is a male 3.5mm jack that is used as a passthrough for the handset to connect to the phone. At the bottom of the device the hole you see is to pass a cord for a wall charger, so no, the device itself won't charge your phone. Hope that clears things up a bit.
