Can't post 'proper' links yet, sorry, I R noob...
Judging by the moulding of the pdmi connectors & length of cable I'd say it's the same supplier used by at least some of the sellers on ebay.

I bought mine from DealExtreme.

The video did not show the mount, I checked their website and they have one for galaxy tab. I wonder if the data/charger cable will be accessable with the galaxy mount can you share links and maybe better pictures with us?

Longer Power cord

Any suggestions on this? It seems my nexus is very picky about only using the stock cord. I couldn't even get it to charge with my galaxy S2 cord. Charge icon was on but didn't charge.
Thoughts?

I use a USB 3.0 Cable extender that I got for like $3 off eBay. Charge time is the same and the cord is 6ft longer
Search and you will find a great thread on cables and chargers and what works and doesn't and why.
I picked up a couple of these when they were on discount ($9.95 at the time). LONG 6ft cables and they work great for not only the Nexus 7 but other devices as well (Raspberry Pi)...

Even at the current price of $16.31 I would not hesitate to buy one.
Thanks guys, I will try that. I hate this little cord.

I used $random cable in the house, works fine. Just make sure you use the OEM charger, unless the cable is super crap it should just work.
Im using my old charger from my blackberry curve 8300 with a mini usb to micro usb adapter on it because it was the longest charger I have. It worked to charge my original evo 4g, it charges my evo lte, and it charges my nexus 7 as well.
Here: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
I paid $3.94 total. Should have been smart and ordered two (other half wants one) but I wanted to be sure it works. It's great and plenty long enough.

I've got a couple of 2mtr cables with right angle micro usb plugs, cheap as chips off eBay and they work fine.

Same here, they were just reposted
Please post reviews when you guys can! I'm still skeptical about this but hopefully it turns out to be legitimate!
Just placed my order with cautious optimism.
DIY dock time ... in 3-6 weeks.
I live in India and have a nexus 10 and want to buy this but when I click on buy it goes from eBay.com to ebay.in
Plzz help I want to buy it
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.

Is there a current app you use to check that its 1.5-1.8 amps?

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
