Any news on this?
I havent heard of anything. Unfortunately Samsung is infamous for sucking at life at such things. Im hoping that this 3rd party pogo cable option leads to it but until then I think I am going to make my own. I ordered the cable, I will probably try and shoehorn it into an existing dock.
I really dont care for just another cable. I'll make it so its part of the dock, run the USB cable to a port and make an extension. Hopefully the end product is a dock I can leave on my desk and just drop the tablet in.
Seems so strange and bad-for-business...
Its one of the downsides of going with a Nexus device. Google still sucks at hardware delivery and the manufacturer doesn't care about making accessories for a small numbers device. If Google were bright in the hardware regard they would have learned their lessons and made the accessories part of the original contract for delivering the Nexus devices.
That makes a lot of sense actually I wonder if Samsung will ever make one or leave the making of all accessories to third parties. At least it will be a quality product if Samsung gets around to it..

I'm in the same boat. I've been hoping for a pogo dock since before I even purchased my nexus 10.
yeah I was hoping for a pogo dock with sound (and if possible HDMI) output too.
If it could be in a small design like the original iPad dock it would be brilliant.
Can't understand why no one have made this yes as it seems so obvious
N10 Pogo Dock
By the time this becomes available, our device will be obsolete.
I always thought there was a market for accessories but obviously I'm wrong concerning the N10 after becoming a reality.
Its Samsung man. Look at the other Nexus devices, those have accessories that leverage features of the devices.
I've never been a fan of accessories that only work on one or very few devices. I have a nice dock for my 1st gen Android which means it's useless for anything else.
Meanwhile a DIY dock is a better option. Once I find pogo cables for less than $20 I'll build one and redo it once I have a different device.

Well I finally bought the Streak docking station. I havent hooked it up to HDMI yet so I cant tell you about that yet.
What I can tell you is.. the plastic holder part.. The clear thing you insert, I dont know, I mean seems solid enough but I cant help but feel that it could break, I dont know. That and things make a odd sound when you jiggle the tablet while its docked.
Aside from that, GOD this dock is nice. I mean its angled just right for doing things, visibility is great! Good for video watching and so. Also playing finger based games like angry birds, this thing runs great. Also least it can charge separately from the usb connection to the PC. All I need to find now is a way to access my network files to play videos remotely and I am set. =D
I agree on the dock being nice. I bought two, one for in the office and the other at home. The dock mode of the streak can be a bit annoying at times especially when you lock the tablet with a pin. Posting via Galaxy S as waiting on replacement streak 7 from Dell. Still love the Streak though not working right now.

Btw I havent tested this part yet with HDMI, If you hook it up, do your games show up on the TV? Would be cool to have your emulators displaying on the TV. Heh.
Hmmm.... I think I might give the dock a try. I have a few extra HDMI cables laying around. I'll try it out and post what happens.
I've had the dock for about 2 weeks now. Works great, HDMI looks decent, not HD obviously, but it looks good and I am able to watch movies on my 56inch with no problems.... To me it was worth it, you can get them for cheap on ebay just to let everyone know.

How can I buy this dock in Vietnam???
I picked up one these docks on eBay for $50 w/ a OEM car charger.
Nice solid feel on the dock but sometimes I wish it had a mode where you could have a case on & have it nicely dock as well...
HDMI out is a nice +
I just wished it worked with Honeystreak. I hope dell releases honeycomb because I love using my doc to watch movies in the bedroom.
Hello
I'm new owner of Streak 7 - from Poland. I'm looking for one dock station for my S7 to be able to play hdmi on my tv. Problem is, that in Poland it's hard to get a dock.
Maybe anyone of you is about to sell one and could send it to Poland?
Thank you in advance

I would say check ebay. Most people ship everywhere.
Also yea, playing emulators works great on it. Also another perk.. if you use wiimote IME. You could have your streak docked, away from you and you can use the wii mote or classic controller to move the menu around too and open apps and so. Very handy.

I have had some strange issues with with getting HDMI working on various DJ Steve's build but I chalked that up just not be official?
I'm running
StreakDroid HD7-2.0 R1
I think that is the latest...
anyone else having any issues? I'm sure the "offical" build will support it... I'm sure...
I'm running his HC build and it works fine for the most part. I can't get rid of the bottom status bar, and in comparison to my Logitech Revue, the Revue streams Amazon video much smoother and the PQ seems to be better as well. I'm usng the stock browser and I get a few video freezes where the sound keeps going, had some lip sync issues, and some other minor things. He Revue

i need a dock and data cable for streak 7 in pakistan,,, is thr any way i can get 1.???
Maybe. Tried Ebay or Amazon? Alot of people will ship worldwide.
what are some alternatives to the official dock like the g2 slacker? looking for something under $20 as both the official dock and the g2 dock go for at least 30 on ebay.
g2 slacker, while "looks" like same port, I doubt it is. Or would work. If you need a cheap alt,

HOWEVER I should mention these docks DO NOT have hdmi! So they will charge, and seperate cable to sync. However.. a dell streak dock without hdmi.. seems silly..? I know for me.. hook to HDMI, Use BT keyboard/touchpad (and I can run dos!) or BT gamepad and I can run emulators. Thats nice on a TV. =)
The slacker dock only supports USB-IN, it doesnt support anything else on the S5/S7
Things missing from the slacker dock (that's available on the 2nd gen official dock):
Line-out
USB-in (ie OTG)
USB-high speed charing
HDMI-out
Dock sense (where the device automatically goes into clock mode)
The slacker dock has a headphone out, but the S5/S7 dont support it either (it may not have the pins for that, if it does it's different anyway). The slacker dock also has pads for USB-in, but that model was never officially made available(?).
Also I would STRONGLY recommend against a slacker dock for the S7 (if you can even find one), the S5 is a lot lighter then the S7.
The S7 barely fits on it, but it has absolutely no support besides the port itself.
The S5 already places all it's weight on the dock port, the S7 is asking to be broken by any accidentical impact.
If you are willing (or can find it at a reasonable price), I would strongly recommend the official 2nd gen dock for either the S5/S7.
It includes 2 backplates to support either model.
Also, the S5 dock in the previous link likely wont fit the S7, that's the reason the official dock comes with 2 backplates.
Your only real choice for the S7 is the official 2nd gen dock.
Oh fyi, amazon has it on sale right now for 30$ the official one.
Are we sure the Offical Dell Dock has OTG?! I can't find documentation on that AT ALL.
has anyone tried to see if the GS2 accessories (namely the car and home docks) will work with the focus s?
i lined up the phones the other day and the charging port seems to be in the same place and the focus s seems to be the same dimensions, (technically it's .03" wider, but it seems very close from me putting them on top of each other)
i really want the car and home docks, but i'm 99% sure samsung won't release specific ones for the focus.
if no one has, i may go to an att store and see if they have any i can try out.

ive been looking for a few weeks (since i got my focus s), and havent found squat. it makes me wonder if the accessory manufactures are throwing in the towel on WM. ive barely seen ANY accessories for many of the WM devices on blue, red, yellow or pink.
lame

to be fair the only device specific accessories i've seen are for the sgs2 line and the droid branded products
htc does have some neat little docks and such for the titan and radar.
personally, i just bought a right angle usb cable and a more generic home dock and it's solved my problems for a grand total of probably $30

i had one for my atrix 2, the usb cable also carries audio, if mango supports audio via usb, it should work.
Just watched the Android Christmas Card video....there is a Nxxus 10 dock pictured right at the 1:00 mark...hoping this is real. Looks like it is.
It's certainly encouraging. With the news of the POGO pin connector, the pictures of the Nexus 7 dock and now this video from the Android Team, I'm very hopeful. I know I will buy the dock as soon as it is released.
It would be a Christmas miracle!
Will it charge faster than the micro usb?
Otherwise why waste the money.

Some of us wants to be able to use a dock as a dock... charging faster will be a plus for me but i'd like to use an official POGO pin dock that I can place on my counter to charge as I browse. Or even slow the battery drain when I play music/movie.
TLDR: Having a dock is freaking awesome.

A dock offers more then just charging... It also serves.. as a stand.
Also audio out for your stereo/speakers.

Good eye! I was hoping we'd see a dock with pricing and delivery at CES next month. Can't wait to get one so I can hack it...
Guess it does mean, a dock is coming, couldn't care less about it though I would prefer if they would release an official keyboard dock like the one ASUS transformer has.
I wouldn't be waiting for this to come out as Nexus device accessories don't have the best track record. *Waiting on Nexus 4 orb charger*
while u wait get the energizer qi on amazon, i found one for 50 bux totally worth it
The nexus 7 dock looks nice but I thought the nexus 10 dock looked too small and the tablet didn't seem very secure /stable /safe in it. I wish they made it longer.

Nocoast, shame you can't use it on the n10. I'm sad no company has made a generic qi home dock for phones and tablets. I'm even more sad no company has made a universal car qi dock.
I use touchstones in the car and house for my gnex and the wife's s3. Of prefer having something more future proof for phones like the n4 that have it built in. Hardware jacks aren't that fun. The touchstone are nice and small though, but the phone angles will in it are shallow. Pivot mount mechanism works in the car though.
I gotta say I don't think that's a dock at all, it doesn't make sense to have a 4 inch dock for 10 inch tablet, I think that was just a generic plastic stand
Hmm, have you ever seen an official iPad dock? there is a reason behind that, the tablet is not small, big dock will look bulky and no aesthetic with it, maybe Apple know something we don't , but then again there are magnets, we also don't know what the shape of it, maybe it holds still, and actually similar to iPad dock...just my thoughts :cyclops:

The N10 is my first Nexus product & I expected more from Google in the way of accessories. I work for B&N & we have the widest & most varied selection of accessories that I have ever seen for any device under one roof. Perhaps I'm just spoiled, but I don't think my expectations are too high. Google has the capability to provide accessories & I don't understand why they haven't.
Passed my old N7 along and using the new 32Gig model 2 now.
I've read about a GPS issue but I don't seem to have the problem. I rooted my last one but never really took advantage of that so I'll probably use this one stock for awhile. I did notice that the new one has no "docking port" or whatever the heck that contact point was supposed to be. .... So what happened to the docking port? The absence in the new model says "orphan" to me.
So far, very nice and very smooth, great screen and no apparent quality or fit problems. The second camera is a nice addition.
And Amazon just informed me that the Chromecast unit I ordered last month will be delivered sometime in September or October.
The Old School Dock
The Dock connections on the old school Nexus 7 were for charging capabilities and for audio out i believe. I read a few reviews and that about the dock and i thought it would be great to have one...... however everywhere i looked since the N7 came out they were all out of stock.
And not work the $50 they were asking. So oh well!
They must of deemed the Dock Capability not needed after that and kept it out of the 2013 model. :-/
Because they have the wireless charging coil in the new n7
Beamed from my Grouper
I love the docking capabilities of the old Nexus 7. I have speakers connected to my docks and use it as a small media player at various points around the house.

I've been swaying back and forth on buying a Dex. In Canada, the retail price is very high ($250...although there are some deals).
I'm curious what owners/testers thought should have been included/excluded? I'd personally liked to have seen video-over-usb-c, an audio output, and a more approachable pricepoint.
Thoughts?
the price is insane,will not even consider at this price point....but im seeing some chinese knock offs that lead me to believe there is no proprietary/special hardware that makes this functionality happen. Maybe even a simple usb-c, 3-way usb-power / HDMI MHL adapter would work? Anyone tested MHL adapter yet?
I bought these.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074MYLP9C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one does not work with DEX, it can mirror your screen that is all.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SXBZ3S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is a cheapish Chinese one. I can confirm that this works as a DEX station, the one main difference between this one and the official one is the Ethernet lan port is missing.
From what I have found online there is a chip in the dock that tells the Samsung device to switch between the Dex mode or mirror mode. The only other option you have if you want to use the first type of usb-c dongle is to root and use a custom kernel that has been baked into a custom ROM.

I got mine for under $100 through B&H. Brand new.
The knockoff would be about $30 less and I'd much prefer to stick with the original dex station.
so far I´d change:
Hi Y'all.
I'd like a display port to complement the HDMI port.
A dock with a more case friendly design would also have been appreciated.
It took me a while to figure out the apostrophe on a physical keyboard.
"I'd, Y'all, can't" ect. gave me some weird responses.
A USB-C hub would have been nice to complement the other ports.
Apart from this I'm a happy camper.

Elo.
