Brodit Car Mount for Galaxy Tab

I was thinking of getting the OEM dock from the US but I am pleased to see that Brodit are now producing a passive holder for the Tab. It is now on the DSL website for pre-order in the UK. They are hoping to have them before the end of the year but no certainty. Seems to be only available in the passive form but that's what I want. Search for item 511209 on either the Brodit website or the DSL website.

I've ordered a VERY similar mount on ebay, look it up!

Looking for the active one myself!
click and go, nothing beats that, no additional fuzz with cables....

Thanks for shareing info !!!
30 bucks is n cheap. But anyway ... have to buy it

New mount coming from RAM
http://www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/ramadaptacradle/tabid/3616/Default.aspx
Appears to be coming on Feb 11, 2011. This is probably the one I'll be getting.
Multiple pictures and details at the link. If you "add to cart" the price shows $28.47. Unknown if that will be the actual retail price or not.

That RAM mount looks nice, and with the customizable cups, looks like it can hold my Tab while in the folio case. That price though is just to hold the Tab; you still need one of the mounting options which vary in price (none of which I would consider "cheap"). Maybe retail pricing will be much less..

I agree, some of the RAM mounting accessories you need to "make" a complete solution can be pricey. The good thing for my case, is that I'm already using a RAM solution for my Nexus One. Interchangeability rocks!

usb on the go support

Hi everyone!
From what I have collected so far, N7 will support usb on the go IF:
1) you rooted your device;
2) use Stickmount app
However, I cant really find any usb otg cables in my local stores....-_-......yes ridiculous, i know!!
So here comes the question.....will those mini usb male, full size usb 2.0/3.0 female cable works?
or even those adapters instead of cable, will those work with Stickmount?
TL;DR = can i use any adapter for the usb otg function?

Search for OTG .... several threads about it, using it, finding it (mail order online), etc...
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786160

I got a few cables from ebay for $3.90 each shipped and they work great.

so in short......SOME adapters work but some wont? Anyone tried with N7 yet? I wont have the device until next week

I live in canada, those *******s charge almost 30 bucks for international shipping!!

I posted in one thread a link for like $1.50 with free shipping and confirmed to work with the N7.

Uh, check the cell phone shops, since most are shipping from hong Kong, they shouldn't charge much to ship to Canada instead of US. (Just guessing though, or you could try ebay)

I have been trying to source one too. The nook.co.uk site is useless as are the people who run the twitter, phone and live chats! I have spoken to one other guy who had to get one as his broke and he still ordered from the US as UK division couldn't get one!
It must be said I too didn't anticipate such an issue getting a cable! If I find anything I will post it here though

Anyone find an alternate cable for the UK? The ones on eBay and Amazon have had their descriptions changed and no longer mention the nook hd+

I found nothing, i think I might just get a backup from blackwells, then at least I will have one.

Blackwells look like they have good stock of Nook stuff. Good call, they are also selling the Nook HD+ and must be one of the last places in the UK who are still selling the Simple Touch for 30 quid. I got one and rooted it, perfect grey scale reader, (or in my case flight computer).

Hey, no second source in an asian shop for this?
I can't believe that our friends in China will miss the oportunity to earn some money with that...
Or is it possible to build this by myself? Is it just a passive part or does it contain electronics?

The official cable + wall socket is also now £15 direct from the UK nook store with free delivery
Nook International Power Kit

They were on sale at a local B&N for $15, so bought a backup. Came with a power supply as well.

Nope, this is a micro SD charger, not the 30 pin charger we need for the nook HD+
Specs say "Suitable for NOOK Wi-Fi, NOOK 3G +Wi-Fi, and NOOK Simple Touch and NOOK Simple Touch GlowLight"

Woops don't know how I missed that.
Though the HD+ charger is still £15 but comes with a US plug.

Yep! Quite glad too, always nice to have a spare. Now, if only the HDTV adapter was sold in the UK...!

Just ordered the international kit from Blackwells. £17.49 including postage for a USB cable is steep, but I'm not going down the path where my Nook won't charge because the first one broke and I can't source a spare because it's end of life.

Despite the picture on the site showing it comes with UK, EU and US adapters there is no US in the box. Not really a problem, just thought I would highlight this to other potential buyers.

With the latest round of price cuts a spare charger is now on £10 direct from the Nook site (ignore the picture they come with UK and EU plug adapters, not US)
http://uk.nook.com/accessories/universal-power-kit-in-asphalt/9780594515364
Also the cases are all £15

Pre-Order Special - How to access the free promos?

I just got my Xperia Z1 and cannot figure out how to get the free movies and music unlimited promo. Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks!

Just an update, I called Sony here in the states and they had NO idea about the promo or the free smartwatch. So maybe its something the UK is running?

The promos are found in the app Xperia Privilege. The watch is is expected to launch end of September and should be dispatched at that time.

Gear VR is now in stock in the UK Samsung store.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer...M-R320NPWABTU?catnm=GALAXY+Note&catid=SM0112
Gear VR £169
Gear VR with Bluetooth controller £199
Loos like the controller bundle has gone out of stock. I managed to get one. Its currently preparing for dispatch it should be with me by tomorrow

Don't know if they are out of stock but got mine delivered on Monday by expansys for £139

Ordered mine today (with controller) says due to be shipped on the 4th Feb I didn't even know it was released here until today, so much for logging my interest on Samsung's website back last year.

Don't get bundle. Samsung controller is wack. Better to buy separately.

Unfortunately the VR on it's own was out of stock and knowing how Samsung's stock levels are usually I didn't want to take the chance. I have been waiting for a UK release since it's announcement! I know the game pad isn't brilliant but maybe I can sell it cheap.
I noticed the bundle version went out of stock soon after, so I am pleased I ordered one.

My bundled Gear VR arrived!
OK, I was a bit peeved at having to buy the bundled version of the GVR as the solo version was out of stock. However, now I have it I am glad I did go for the version with the Gamepad.
Firstly there a few games that you can only play with the Gamepad, "Dread Halls" for example and secondly navigating the menu system is more comfortable. The controls needed for the VR games are quite simplistic, so the Gamepad works well.
You also get the bonus of using the Gamepad with about 45 fully compatible games on the Samsung Console Store and it works with many others elsewhere.
Considering the Gamepad costs about £60 you are getting it for half the price with the bundle. So all in all it's hard not to recommend.
