Accessories (for the 10.1)!

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 think that's the original 7" Galaxy Tab they are showing.

I tried to order the HDMI adapter but its out of stock.

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.

You guys, I have the media dock and it only works in landscape mode because that's where the connection is. That's just a bad photo shop job showing the 7' inch tab style dock.

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).
With Love,

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.

Official Bluetooth Keyboard/Case

didn't see this get mentioned before, but if you watch from 1:56 mins in.. there's a case that has a built in bluetooth keyboard that reminds me of Lenovo's LePad

The only place I've seen this so far is on the Samsung Germany site. Looked like it would be about 150 dollars.
It looks pretty nice, and I'd like to get one when (if) they show up US side, but I would have trouble spending that kind of money on an accessory that probably won't be compatible with the next gen Galaxy Tab.

I heard that Bluetooth keyboard is made by Broadcom!!!

The bluetooth keyboard setup is nice, but did you notice the hdmi usb cable? Does that mean that hdmi and usb are on one connector instead of two separate adapters?

Just bought my G-TAB 10.1 yesterday and I was told by the Samsung sales "enabler" (the Samsung droid in the Best Buy store) that it will be out in July (<--USA). I bought the keyboard/dock with my G-TAB but I am sure that I will flip to the BT/case version when it's out.
BTW, the HP sales "enabler" was also there peddling their new tablet running their OS. He tried to convince me that it was a better choice than the G-TAB... well, to make a long story short, I showed him my rooted & CM7'd G2x. He pulled out his Android phone and asked me how I was able to create those great screens. Well... I used ADW EX, which he also had (but didn't know how to use). So, I showed him a few quick tricks and he really appreciated it. He then said that I should stick to Android devices and that he will too (<-- I was holding myself back not to laugh as the Samsung "enabler" overheard that)

Hee hee....that is an especially good story given what's happened with HP since abandoning their tablet! On a related note, I too spoke with a Samsung rep at BestBuy when the 10.1 was just released, and due to a mis-communication with my wife, I thought a tablet at t-mobile was a different variant of the 10.1, and after insisted to the Sammy rep that t-mobile had a 10.1 at a better price; with an SD slot; and a 3D front facing video camera! I later ate some crow and appologized when I realized the T-mobile was an LG tablet instead, but had to chuckle when a different BestBuy employee told me that apparently T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab 10.1 had an SD slot and a 3D camera!

Keyboard dock worth it?

Pros:
-It's a stand
-It's a keyboard
-It charges your Tab
Cons:
-Not that portable
-Can't use with a case on
-People say it messes up your screen protector
-Pricey
There are a lot of decent Bluetooth keyboards that work great with the 10.1. Pair one of these with a stand case and you can still come out cheaper than the dock alone.

best solution is to either wait for the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard case [$160] (if you'd like to use the Honeycomb dedicated keys)

or use another slim bluetooth keyboard like the Apple wireless Keyboard...

I've never used it, but if you do get it, save yourself 30% on Samsungs website with the coupon GOOGLEIO2011.
Does it always have to be docked or can it connect through bluetooth too?

yep i believe so since it uses bluetooth, the media keys might even work also since its designed for an Honeycomb device !

Saw a video on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRRBm6l9wNk ) where it does something very annoying. The on screen keyboard keeps popping up, and he had to hit a key on the keyboard to get rid of it.

yea, it might have been fixed with the Touchwizz update ?!
who knows

Check out galaxy tab 10.1 official demo 11:26
sorry, I cant post it but u guys know what it is.
looks like a laptop like case, similar to what asus transformer has except prob BT connection instead of docking station to me. anyone knows about that case?

I have the keyboard dock (I also have the standard dock). I really like it and definitely feel it is worth buying.
Pros:
1. Nice keyboard + dedicated keys. Quality feel.
2. Nice relatively small dock.
3. Nice color, tablet looks nice in dock.
4. Creates a compact, space efficient, one piece workstation with tablet.
5. Allows you to use the tablet without having to hold it!!!!! Very convenient ... allowing you to do other things while you are using the tablet.
6. I have a Supertooth Bluetooth speaker system linked up with my Tab and the dock is a nice way to have the tablet available while it is streaming content the the Supertooth.
Cons:
1. Occasionally tablet needs to be rebooted because of problem. This is not frequent enough to be a problem for me.
2. I haven't checked it yet, but there are reports that if you are using an alternative tablet keyboard conflicts can cause more problems. I have temporarily stopped using Swype and my T9 custom software keyboards.
Summary, a very nice option to own.

did you just ignore post #3

its annoying for me since i own similar keyboard dock for my 7 tab.. and the on screen keyboard popping out all the time basically nullifies the advantages of the keyboard itself... and its quite heavy too.. i imagine its gonna be heavier on the 10.1 version.
anyway, aint worth it if you ask me.. and your stuck with the same layout too which is not optimized.. better buy bluetooth or just use the usb keyboard with the usb adapter.. much worthed i think.

Thanks for the reviews. I picked it up today. I haven't gotten to play on it much since I forgot to charge my tablet last night. I've still got to get my mouse to work with it. Doesn't seem to work with touchwiz.

I'm currently using a setup of Mac Bluetooth keyboard and the Akron tablet stand. I find this setup a lot better than the keyboard dock.

This in conjunction with the WiFi Display Hub will be fantastic.

OTG has been around for a while now....
Here's me rocking it on my S2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCrecOR34Fs&feature=g-upl

I know Samsung made the 11 pin micro USB to use MHL and OTG accessories the same time because it was impossible before, and everyone says you can't use both over a normal hub so when the Hell is Samsung gonna release an accessory to do that, because they have delays on Allshare cast, MHL converter adapter(in some countries) and you can't game on Tv with wired controller, mouse, keyboard etc until Samsung bother to release it all, I mean I'm really getting pissed off having a phone capable of so much but right now just feels like an S2 with a bigger screen.

I got the connection kit for the Galaxy S3, it is infact made for the Galaxy S2, but works perfectly fine on the Galaxy S3.
Here is a review I did of it and the MHL adaptor. Sadly they didn't work together(one can wish)
http://geektech.ie/index.php/review-galaxy-s3-accessories/

So that HDMI adapter not work with Connection kit?

Some please answer the above question. I want to use the microusb port to charge the phone and still use the other ports for mouse/keyboard/flashdrive/etc.
Also, it looks awkward to have large thing hanging off the phone so will this still work through a microusb extension cable?

Can you confirm that you can use one usb port to charge the phone while using the other port for OTG? I recently asked this question on MobileFun's video on this product and someone seemingly from the company says it can't.

Bump - I want one too but don't want to pay £30!!
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Likewise i've just seen the price of the adapter, what on earth!? There's no way i'm paying that I assumed it was much the same deal as MHL to microusb and fairly low cost.
Is there really not a non-Samsung version that is significantly cheaper? or maybe a DIY method!

As far as I can tell (from buying cables that were unsuitable) the only cable that will work to connect your Note to your tv is the HDTV adapter
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGXAR
or similar for your country. PCWorld in the UK sell them for £12.99 (epl-3phpbeg) if you can find stock or a salesperson who actually knows what you are asking for. I found mine in the tv section with all the Smart tv accessories.

That PC World price must be for the wrong item but searching for that code has brought up a handful of retailers selling it for near £22. Still too much imo when it's clearly not too different from the countless <£5 microusb versions!
Maybe i'll come across a used one some day.

They aren't on the website. Best to call a store. Or visit. Found mine in the Samsung Smart tv accessories section, nowhere near the computer department.

I have that adapter and just bought the (more expensive) Allshare Cast Dongle.
With the adapter one should keep in mind that a (more or less) long HDMI cable is necessary to connect the adapter to the TV/beamer/monitor.
The Dongle works wireless and can be just put beside the display device.

I'm looking for something I could connect my tab to HDMI, maybe a USB, and could charge it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

How well does the connector work? is this the same story like on galaxy s3, that the framerate is halfed down, or does it run at 30fps, cause I dont want to throw away another 25 euros for an adapter, that doesnt even work properly. -.-

ive looked at the media docks for the 10" Tabs on amazon and their TV out potential but I havent found anything conclusive in regards to their performance with the Notes.

the galaxy tab (og galaxy tab) dock is only $18 on amazon and works fine with the gn101. just gotta be modded to prop it up.

Well forget what I asked for before can anybody find me a HDMI adapter?

the place where i ordered the MHL adapter canceled my order, go figure.
So I bought the OG samsung tab dock, dremeled off the sides a bit and it fits perfect. I don't have the right hdmi cable to test that part out, but so far it works fine (charging, sync, and audio through the headphone jack on the dock.)
Was only 10 on craigslist.
win.

I picked up the hdmi cable and it works perfectly.
I get 56fps using fps2d to test.
This is pretty cool.
