Has anyone purchased a dock for their nexus 7? I'd like something that uses the pogo pins but like the galaxy nexus, it looks like we are out of luck.
I've seen some cheap looking docks on ebay buy not sure I want to chance it without a review.

I'd say just wait 9 days to see if Asus/Google release the dock with the 32GB at the Google press conference on 10/29. If not, then go ahead and get a 3rd party dock.
I'm waiting for an official POGO pin dock too... But honestly, I think its vaporware and will never see the light of day so I'm not holding my breath.

Yup, just hang on a little bit until the Google event at the end of the month. If there is no news by then, I would start checking out other docks.
Just like with my Galaxy Nexus, I gave up waiting for the pogo dock and ordered a cheapo off of ebay. It works fine for $10, but they are all portrait-mount so not good for movies or YouTube. I'll still get the official dock if they release it within the next few months.
Mine is just about perfect. Available everywhere. Inexpensive and disposable. Just waiting for the pogoplug version.

***UPDATED in post #40 & #58.....THEY WORK!!!***
Have to wait until the CNY (Chinese New Year) is over to get it in, but after sending an OEM cable & spec'ing the cable with one of my contract manufacturers in China..we should finally have an economical solution Especially for those of you outside of the US (since it seems you pay more).
The finished cable (30pin PDMI to USB) sample should be sent to me on the 14th of Feb, and will take a few days to get here (US). Once it does, and is tested to work...I will be placing a large qty order. They also have compatible car charger adaptors, but not sure I want to pick those up as well. Have to wait and see how well the cables are received by the community.
I'll update the thread when I get the sample in.
Hope they work! If they do you can count on me to order at least 2, you can never have too many cables!
count me in also,
Sounds great. Any idea of price at this point?

It would be nice to have an AV dock that also will compete with the official Dell's than getting a Slacker G2 that isn't made for the Streak
+1 If the price is right and they work, I'm interested.
Thanks for the post!
I'd be interested as well.
Tag me in for 4 of them
very cool.. I sucked it up and ordered an extra cable, car dock, and slacker dock.. but I might consider getting an spare in case I lose one or the one in my car finally breaks..
i would definitely buy 2 if price is right and it works
+ 1 ill be in for a few for sure
I'll definitely take one if the quality is good.

PS- Make an PDMI to Apple iPod adapter and you'll do well. That way I can pop my Streak on an iPod desktop speaker without mucking about.

thats a great Idea..with all the those 3rd party Icrap accessories available , we can take advantage of it if there is a PDMI to Ipod/Iphone adapter.
I will get 2 when available.

Sigh...
Feb. 14th is the date Dell just emailed me to tell me is now my new "adjusted" shipping date for the order I placed on January freaking 24th for $43.38 for 2 cables! I've NEVER in my life had to wait this long for something to ship, especially for freaking cables! They should have millions in stock! Anyway...
I'll prolly buy 1 or 2 of these cables if they're good.
Will these be longer than the 6 inch long (or should that be short?) cables Dell provides? Too short to plug into my USB port on my PC, too short to charge in my car while talking. Poor design, poor design... Dell really fell short on this phone and its accessories and advertising. I LOVE the phone, but come on...
I'd be in for an order of at least 2 also!
I also love the suggestion of a PDMI -> iPod/iPhone connector/bridge.
Ideally it could stretch across the whole bottom of the streak (or at least the width of an iPod/iPhone) the so that the streak would sit flush with any idocks.
Hey all

I think you can buy it from official Samsung site, Bestbuy, eBay or Amazon

The Samsung US site won't ship to Canada, nor is it available on BB's website. EBay may be an option. It looks like 3 are available on amazon now. They previously were not in stock.

Thanks.
I just found an eBay seller who has them on for $45US. I hit the "make an offer" and offered $39 for one and they accepted. They are new in box, according to seller. It says he has 11 left.

Anyone know if the part that holds the nexus s (the plastic "cover") is removable from the car dock? I much prefer my IQ Solutions dash mount, but would love to have something like that piece to hold my phone.
The holder detaches from the arm.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
wouldnt it be better to get a generic holder like the exogear one? I mean, most nexus s owners replace phone once a year, does everybody also replace all the accesories? what is special about the official samsung holder other than the made to order snug fit? just curious.

Yeah, I replace the accessories yearly as well. Normally its just a car dock though.
The OEM docks just fit so much better. The nexus one stock was nice for the built in speaker phone and auto activation of car mode....but with nfc that is really not necessary anymore.

I thought I would pass this on. Right now Bestbuy.com has the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 for $349 also with a free keyboard dock. This does say online only but I bought my tablet last Friday and just talked with Customer Support and they said I should be able to go into the store and get $50 back and the dock. (I paid $399 for mine.)
Galaxy Tab 8.9 on sale at Best Buy for $349 – Free keyboard dock too
Yes I saw that and ordered mine. They can also do it thru their phone orders. I couldn't get it to add the free dock online, so I called and chose the store pickup option. I will be picking up my tab tomorrow morning and they will ship the free dock to te store next week. The tab and keyboard dock for $349+ tax! Ou cant beat that.
I jumped on this as well, didn't encounter any issues with the dock showing in the cart. Store pick up on the tablet tomorrow, but the dock is on a bit of a back order for a few days.
I've gone back and forth on the Tab 8.9 for a while, if it had an Exynos or OMAP4, I'd have jumped a while ago. Darn Tegra 2.
I tried to get them to give me the dock in the store they wouldn't so I just got my $50 back and went on. I think I am going to call customer service and see if they cant hook me up.
Sold! Email invoice shows tab should arrive a few days before the keyboard.

The Galaxy Tab 8.9 is the perfect size to me. Out of all the tablets I've tried it seems to have the best form factor!
It does seem like a very good deal for those who are looking for a tab
I purchase one of these last time Best Buy had it on sale for $349 without the dock. Didn't open it up and after some reading I decided to return it. Wound up getting the AT&T LTE version on craigslist for $420. The reasoning was I didn't want a Tegra 2 version and liked the option of having LTE available if needed....The downside is not much developement for the LTE versions yet. Seeing how it's a giant Skyrocket mostly I'm hoping it'll come soon. I can live with honeycomb for now.
I also took advantage of this offer and bought the 8.9 with keyboard dock.
Does anyone know whether the full functionality of this keyboard dock is compatible with current ROMs such as AOKP Galaxian-Soup? Any info is appreciated.
I got this deal last week. I also rooted and installed Galaxian Soup ASOP and for the most part the keyboard dock still functions correctly. There are a few function keys that no longer work but the majority of the important ones do. IIRC the lock function key no longer unlocks the device but does wake it up. For the most part it has not hampered me from using it. I have not noticed any issues with mine short of the few function keys that either quit working or work a little bit differently now.
If I bought my tablet at best buy in store, but didn't even hear about the free dock, do you think I could still get one?

When did you buy the device? If it was within the time they were offering the deal, I'd take a print out of the advertisement to your local BB and ask.
Is this deal still good? I bought my tab on the 25th and would love the keyboard..

Yeah I just looked this morning and I'm pissed that I didn't jump on it yesterday.

Same here, hoping for the ICS update soon.

Wow, impressive. Did you pick the free shipping option? UPS hasn't populated for my tracking number yet. Were there any extras not mentioned on the BB site?
Edit:
NM, tracking is available. Ships from Maumee, OH (near Toledo). I'm just like 90min from there, so hopefully I'll get it tomorrow (I didn't order till late in the afternoon yesterday).
Got mine. Nice enough shape in refurb box, and the accessories all look to be unopened and new.
One thing I didn't see was the headset mentioned... Is that in the Tab box itself? (Left my boxes at work.)
Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is it feels a bit sluggish compared to my Galaxy Note. Hoping the upcoming ICS update will help. Otherwise, I'm very impressed. The screen is nice, 8.9 might be the perfect size for me, the accessories are great and I freakin LOVE THAT IT DOCKS HORIZONTALLY. I wish everyone provided that option.

Yea free shipping! I ordered it in the morning though. Really happy with the deal. All the accessories are brand new. Keyboard dock and leather case are the best ones. I don't see my self using the SD card reader or regular dock.

When I got mine, it was slow out of box on honeycomb 3.1. I upgraded to 3.2 and noticed a speed gain by a good margin. Try upgrading if you havent .

I ordered one as well but tracking is saying it won't be here until next wednesday…blah. I'm in AZ. Excited to get it though, I'm thinking 8.9 will be the perfect size.
@slatestud
Thanks! Yep, 3.2 did help... Just got ICS on my Note, hope the 8.9 update is released soon.
Still really happy with the 8.9. Great little device. The sleeve for the tablet is very nice and the keyboard dock is awesome!
Can't believe I got all of this for $300...
EDIT: And yep, the headset/headphones are under the little booklet in the box.
Bummer. Mine isn't scheduled to get here until Monday. Was hoping to get it today so I could play with it over the weekend.
Awesome that the accessories are all brand new. Quite the deal.
Seems the official ASUS pogo dock is finally being release this month
http://translate.google.com/transla...E3%83%86%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3/
Hopefully that'll equate to about £30 over here.
In 2040 comes to South America
Looks lovely, but when can we expect them in the UK?
I love the look of it, I just hate how with official docks you cant use a case.
It honestly took Google/Asus too long to release this. I've already spent money on an alternative method. Why is it that Apple is one of the few major companies that give enough priority to accessories?
It does look cool though.
Looks lame to me. I think the homemade one from

looks better, sturdier, and potentially more useful.
