So far, there is the standard multimedia desk/tv dock that was shown in the keynote speech.

that's what i've been wondering too. i'm not sure why the contacts are on the right side of the phone. don't most people turn the phone sideways so that the left side it faceing down?
Damn i hope this dock will make it dock to and external monitor, keyboard and mouse just function as the heart of the system. basicly a computer just driven by the phone.

It's part of the Enchantment. It now has a soul, remember?
maybe it's like the HP touchpad? it charges on it's dock (touchstone) on multiple sides. That thing doesn't have any contacts at all. Like an NFC interaction?

Yes, I see now that the keynote photo was wrong, but if you think:
1- contacts are on the right side
2. usually, people rotate the phone in landscape to the left side
So, there's something that doesn't work.

I think that's on the mark. It's just a presentation. It's not like they had a camera crew filming actual footage of a Galaxy Nexus in the dock lol Photoshop all the way.
I'd like to see a car dock similar to the nexus one aswell.
Idea
That dock gave me an idea on how to solve some of Androids 3rd party gadget problems.
The largest producers of android devices should get together and agree on the external layout of a "externalt dock interface" so 3rd party gadget makers made their stuff fit the dock interface, and the phone maker (or 3rd party...) could make the dock for the dock. This way each phone maker and model can continue to experiement and differentiate in phone design and size, while the gadget makers could concentrate on making cool gadgets and know that the userbase would be much larger.
Philips already launched something similar, but a middle-dongle-thingy would make it much more userfriendly.
Do you think there will be an affordable car dock this time? The $85 they wanted for the Nexus One car dock was WAY to much for me.
Looks like the official accessories can be found here. They show a dock and a vehicle mount.
http://shop.htcpedia.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-accessories.html
Excellent, the availability of a decent car dock has sealed the deal on this for me.
Was holding off buying the Galaxy Nexus until I knew there was a proper dock. I've got so used to my original Nexus One car dock (despite the cost!) that a new phone is a non-starter without one. Off to place my order now!

I was looking through the system dump, and i found in the system/media/audio/ui folder there are two sound files for dock and undock.
My question is are these default 2.3 (gingerbread) files or dose it mean sony are going to release some kind of dock for the arc
There is a dock for the Play, it's either a shared part of the firmware or SE plans to release a dock for the Arc.
Oh ok thanks for the info, hopefully there will be a dock for this phone.

Could be from Android. There are dock and undock sounds on the Nexus One with my original "Google Desktop Dock". It's nice, it uses the friction-less contacts on the bottom. No "insert micro usb"-nonsense.
A dock for the Arc would be possible, a horizontal one that connects to the USB. Probably not from SE, but a third party producer will have one out in no time.
I'm not sure there will be a dock you can just drop the Arc into - the design really doesn't lend itself to being docked.
For example when I use the Arc in landscape mode, I do so with the buttons on the right - and I'd imagine most right-handed people do so as well.
A dock would have the buttons on the left, so 'the wrong way' as it were.

Yeah, but not a deal-breaker. On the N1, I set it up to automatically launch the clock when you connect the charger. It shows the clock with todays weather and goes into a very dim simple clock after a while. Perfect for having on the nightstand. It works in all directions so "the wrong way landscape" won't be that much of an issue.
im hoping theres a dock soon, even a third party one with no special features. Its something ive been missing since I dumped my desire
There are some third party docks on ebay but I bought one before for my x10 and they have no design and just a dock which I found it really crappy.
Yeah, the ones on Ebay now are more holders with a chargecable attached:

Uhhh... the micro USB port for charging is on the top right side of the phone and the dock holds the bottom. That means the dock only serves the purpose to hold the phone, but not charing it?

Yeah, as I said: It's a holder with a charge-cable attached. You put the phone in the dock, then take the curly-wire and connect to you phone for charging.
I got this one from www.amazon.co.uk - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0046B7BTM/ref=oss_product
Works really well with the arc naked and also with a hard gel case. Not so well with the soft rubber cases on it though.
Speaking of which I have two gel cases spare, one clear and one black if anyone wants them then PM me.

I downloaded Navigon for a road trip I was just on and it was great using my xoom as a GPS device. What wasn't great was grabbing it every time I made a turn...so I need a car mount, temporary preferred. I did some searching and found this site. Anyone have any comments on their products?

The one that you originally posted too... I purchased and did NOT like it at all. Way too wobbly, and difficult to install to the bolt for my seat as it was not a truly "universal" attachment method.

This is true. Every in dash head unit that has a touch screen or DVD/nav capabilities has a wire that is connected to the e-brake so that you can't play a movie on that screen or operate certain navigation controls while driving. Having any type of large screen within viewing range of the driver is not allowed to be operated as such while driving. If you have this mounted to your windshield you will most likely get pulled over for it if a cop sees it.
If you want a car mount for it you should probably look into the type that connects to the base of the passenger seat or one that fits in the side of the dash so it isn't visible above the dash.

I never used it hanging from the windshield, but did 250 mile trip in the passenger seat with it hanging from the passenger window. Had no problems with it.

Thanks for the legal advice guys, but this is not my main concern. Stability is my main concern. I wouldn't be mounting it on the windshield anyway as I drive a small (Scion tC) car and it would take up an enormous amount of real estate on my dash if I were to do that...I'm thinking more the center console area. I don't need access to my radio as I use Google Music from my phone for audio entertainment, so blocking it isn't a big deal.
nooomoto, let me know what you end up doing and how it works out in the end. I also have a tc and have been going back on forth on which one to get. I like the padholdr, but it's 4x the cost of any other option.
Lol. I love pictures.
I'm looking for this also but one that connects under/on the glove compartment.

A slew of accessories for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been updated at the Samsung website...
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/
Seems like quite a bit to fork out if you get everything...
No news if these will work with the 10.1v though (which I have).
So the "media-dock" only sits in portrait mode (according to the photo)? Not very good for watching videos.

I have no idea what the photo is like that. It can only be used in landscape mode because that is where the dock port is. So I don't know why the picture shows it in portrait position.
Wow. A marketing genius must be working at Samsung!
new? i thought i saw these on the site a while ago. but yea, it is showing the same for the keyboard dock which is suffering the same terrible marketing picture issue as the media dock.

I was wondering about the dock photos too. Thinking of getting the tab, but a potrait stand is really something that would make me prefer the xoom. However if the dock fits in landscape and cradles it, it's an improvement over the xoom's two that are held mostly by the connector.

Sorry, I'm MisterEdF and not Jesus (although I wish I were).
As I stated in my previous message I realized that my hypothesis was kind of dumb after thinking about it but despite that you'd think they'd get their pictures right because a lot of people may not realize about the dock connector (or maybe think it had 2).

One thing that makes me jealous about Apple (iPad) is the vast amount of accessories for it you can buy ANYWHERE from the 5&10 cent store to Brookstone. I was in the Mall earlier and 1/2 of Brookstone's products were iPad accessories. Some junk and some great. Just about every store selling technology products (and even Walgreens, CVS etc) sells i* stuff/ You will never ever see such a thing for ANY other manufacturer's product. It's amazing how much stuff is out there for the iPad and anything else starting with an "i". Whether you love 'em or hate 'em you have to give credit where credit is due. They sure did build up quite a following.

Sorry - wasn't directed at you. More at Samsung for the moronic pictures showing an impossibility that would turn people off their products. (Though I do think folks should have realized on their own that there is no connection on their tab that would allow for portrait mode docking).
The base is the same as the 7" model with a larger overlay that goes over the connector part. I verified this at a Verizon store the other day. No word on if you can just buy the plastic overlay, though I'd be shocked if they weren't available from Hong Kong via eBay in the next two weeks.

"Engineered form fitting edge to edge". In other words, you really have to take it out of the case to use it. I'm pretty sure I like the hole I drilled in the back of my Moko case better .
I wish the tray was a little bigger to accommodate cases. But I might just buy it lol.

Common cases where the bottom part snaps off worked with the dock for the 2012 model, with the rest of the case dangling behind the dock. A dock could in principle work that way, although a quick look at the photos makes me suspect the back is too high for that to be an option here.
There appears to be no functionality other than charging? Audio output, anything at all? Without that I'm not sure I'd call this a "dock" rather than a "stand."

Yeah it is more of a stand but you dont really need a dock anymore. I have a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X Bluetooth headphones so no need for audio on the dock and i have a Seagate Wireless Plus 1tb wireless hard drive so when i get this dock / stand ill be able to use my nexus 7 to listen to music that is stored on the 1tb drive through headphones while the nexus charges without having a single cable connected to my nexus 7. Going to be awesome.
Nice. $50 bucks is a bit heavy for a dock. I know those Qi Chargers are expensive but I can't figure out why. I already bought the Samsung Qi when it was $25 and I don't even use it.
I can't think the innards of these Qi devices are all that complicated. I wonder if I could dismantle my Samsung and create my own dock. The Dock is the easy part. I actually really like my makeshift DVD case/tablet stand I made for the OG N7.
Stand looks nice and professional. Most Qi chargers are $50+. If I hadn't already bought one, I would be all over this. Might not fit with cases though because of the way it is designed. Not sure if the stand allows additional clearance to allow a case.

There is a company called EverDock that was on KickStarter, it features a DOCK where you can switch the plug from forward or reverse, plus you can either use it for Iphone, Ipad, Android Mini USB. There is also a dock they sell that allows two devices to be charged at one time. Here is a link

Can you tell me what exactly breaks on this docking station? which pegs? why at the cable? the cable is on the backside, how does something break there when the phone is being removed?
BTW, stations for the HTC One M8 should be compatible I was told. Has anyone experiences with this?
could this be an alternative?
http://www.amazon.de/Emartbuy®-Funktion-kompatibel-Docking-Ladegerät/dp/B00KC0X98I
or such a universal usb docking station - as long as the usb plug has the right direction?
like http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00JFLV3KG/ref=nosim/andrhilfdeand-21 or http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Do...e-Nexus-5-HTC-Desire-S-Desire-Z-/400802464581
Or is there more to watch out like angle of the plug or the distance to the backside?

but I am not sure: where does the phone have íts secure stand? Is the phone held by the usb connector only? My last shown examples above have a higher back, which can hold the phone very secure and protect the usb connector against the pressure when using the phone in the dock.
Check out the Lambda-Dock. The connector can be turned and its produced in germany...
