Anyone found this in stock anywhere? so far the only place i've seen it listed was ATT's website.. but of course... they are out of stock currently. i've seen plenty of ones for the Play listed on Ebay but i doubt they are compatible with the ION... but idk for sure... mayb Spectre you could check it out and see if the usb matches up enough .... would really like a dock in my life ha!
It's not available yet. Should be out in another week or so. I'll find out the release date.

Sonystyle.com says 07/11/12. My contact at Sony said anyday. Hopefully getting mine soon.
Amazon has them in stock.

Wow...$69.99!? It should come with an HDMI cable for that price! I'll just buy a micro HDMI adapter instead.

I am afraid this listing is not quite accurate. As far as I know DK20 is a smartdock for Xperia P which is way smaller than ION.
I just realized that the phone wont fit inside the dock if the phone has a case, of course tho you can remove the case but then it becomes an inconvenience
Docks just got in to the Sony store warehouse so they should be available from the website.

Was just gonna ask about the dock compatibility with a case, but it looks like someone just covered that. I was kinda hoping it would work with a case, but had a feeling it wouldn't based on the pics. Kinda makes it a pain when you want to use it. Can anyone else that has it verify that it wont dock with a case on?

If you want a dock that will work with a case look at the Live dock from Sony. Has one USB port only though for connecting other devices. .

as is, the ion fits perfectly with the dock. that way it doesn't move around when connected. for a $70 dock, the last thing I want to worry about is a phone connecting loosely to a dock

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but there are still ways to create a dock so that a case can still remain on the device (I think Spectre mentioned the Live Dock, which appears to work with a case). Anyhow, I just think that manufacturers should give this more consideration, as a lot of people put cases on their phones and would like to use docks without always having to remove the case every time they want to use the dock.

Yes, but to be compatible with all the different case designs and form factors would be impossible. Unless there was a standard case...which would likely meet no ones taste.

Looks like SE is putting out an official one:

And it seems a bundle with an extra battery:

to OP this is nice finding. MobileCity in NYC has had one with same title for along time but no picture, at least now I know this is not for me.
I wish the would design something that you could attach to your phone and use as night stand. something like the one they did to Xperia play stand.
Weak sauce, they could at least release something with a micro USB plug. It's their flagship phone, they should show some love.

It "must" be "iphone simple". Just plug it in, not connect this usb first and then this earplug and hey, dont forget the HDMI and so on.
Just a simple cradle to dock and "all is connected".

Unfortunately these little companies producing these product are no professional designer and mostly do some copycat.
You best bet is to wait for SE release of a better product and I am yet to see any good third party company with decent quality/design product for SE stuff.
It sucks, but that is the only way for now.
While I still go with my statment above but this one is better since the usb is sticking out.
This is more what I am looking @...thought to share it in case anyone else wants one.

Yes, Unless SE does some Xperia Play quality dock for ARC we will end up getting stuck with one of these.
I wish SE was a little faster in releasing stuff.
I was just reading about the droid bionic and kinda pondered if it will get a lapdock as well n turns out it will. I then looked at my laptop dock and I examined the phone dock area and I realized u can just change the face cover to fit any other phone moto plans. Pulls right off. Just thought id share it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
The atrix and bionic may be able to swap the same lapdock - however, not ANY moto phone will have that capability... only those including the webtop app and have the ports in the right location... Just cuz you may be able to fit a 496 big block in a civic, doesnt mean its gonna work - crude analogy, but the principle is what im getting at. Just cuz it fits, doesnt mean it will work.
Hmm yea that makes sense. I hope they do tho since I purchased it lol. Would love to get a newer model down the line n still keep my laptop dock.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Technicalle, that removable thingie is supposed to allow u to rit the atrix with a case, but I do supposed you may be able to fit other models. The photon may not be the case , since its LONGER, not THICKER... but well know when they get here.
I, for one , would like to see a better lapdock, with better viewing angles , multitouch trackpad , able to tilt the screen further back.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
A friend of mine is thinking about the Photon and he seemed to think that it would be able to use the Atrix's lapdock.
Although the ports are in the wrong place so I don't see how that would work.

wont work, already been said by a preview of the phone. the ports are ontop of the phone instead of on bottom like ours. i would much rather have the photon though, even though its on CDMA which i will never been on anytime soon lol

There's no real reason an adapter set could not be made though. Micro USB and Micro HDMI extensions are all thats needed. Maybe not pretty, but should function.
Actually I am right. New pics of the bionic appeared and they look very similar to the atrix. The hdmi n micro port r in the same spot as the atrix not on top like some1 mentioned. Link

they were talking about the photon having ports on top, not the droid bionic.
EDIT: by the way, if you look at the pics in that link, the ports appear to be upside down compared to the atrix, meaning they will NOT fit even if it was the same distance apart.

The fun part is finding the mini female hdmi port.
as other mobiles are getting docks as well, i wonder why the ion dock is the only one with usb ports (excluding livedock), others have normal hdmi port and charger only, even xperia p smart dock became without the usb ports, weird??!
IMO it's just a gimmick. It's a way for them to justify it selling for $70. Sure, it would be kinda cool to hook up a keyboard and mouse and control it that way on my big screen, but that's why I have a laptop. It is unique, though, and I like the possibilities if the firmware can be hacked for the dock to be able to do other things. With that said, I would still like to get one

other things like what? it has the full capabilities of usb on the go, so i can attach it to externaly powered HDD for example, i guess they removed the usb ports fearing that users may connect high power demanding devices, i even wanna try charging another phone through it
You can game on it, for example. But Sony screwed it up by making it pricey. Including dual usb ports shouldn't make the dock cost more. It's not like usb 2.0 is new, had it been usb 3.0 then maybe the price would have seemed right.

No. The dock only works with the Z via the Charging Pins that are on the side of the phone which the ZL does not have sadly,
I think sony wouldn't make a dock for ZL, because it doesn't have water-resist

Judging from the little face with the fun he included at the end of his statement, I think he was joking.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Seeing as how there are no Pogo Pins or Inductive charging, I dont think a dock would be all that productive. At this point having a dock would defeat two of its main purposes; 1. Reduce wear on the uUSB port, 2. Make it easy to "dock-undock" the phone.
The z has a dock because of the hard to access usb port. Since the ZL has no flaps, they will probably just use the usb as a docking pin. Which, as you say, defeats the purpose entirely.

He was joking by using the nautical meaning for dock.
So far there's not a Dock available for the note but I've found this two that maybe work, they're for the GS2-3-4. Obviously they're narrow because are designed for cellphones but who knows if they do the trick for the note. If someone has one and tried on their note, please let us know how it turned out.

The dock fits my Note 2 while still in the case, yet seems to be fairly stable holding the much thinner tab w/o one. Fairly cheap too at $6.71, $2 less than I paid for it.

Here you go. Sorry, I was out of town for the weekend.
It's usable, but tap it super hard and it'll go over backwards. I wouldn't be afraid to charge it this way or do some light reading if you're careful, but it works much better with my Note II.
I'm using the Belkin Charge & Sync Dock for Galaxy S4.
Although it does work as a charger and stand for the note 10.1 2014, it wasn't really designed for it. You probably wouldn't want to do any heavy table use while it's on the stand, and it is not the easiest thing to slide the tablet onto the micro-usb jack.
I search almost weekly for a really good dock. One that is like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z would be perfect, if it had a usb jack in the middle/bottom.
This is looking more promising, I've just sent off for it...will let you know how it performs when it arrives.

Hi Lads & Lasses,
Quick Update on the dock I sent off for.
The dock holds the tablet securely & it's very stable, the pics show it connected up to the mains via usb cable & charging the tablet & no problems, but I noticed when when connected to the PC via usb data transfer is no problem but it doesn't charge, this may be a prob for some users..but it's one which I personally can live with especially for the price.
Hope this helps!!!
