Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.
Has anyone found the offical keyboard dock or standard dock for sale at their Best Buys?
I know the NY store had them at launch but has Samsung spread the love?

They were selling them here @ Our BB today 3 out of 2 BB did here. Dock and Keyboard(only these two)
I saw both the dock and keyboard at my local best buy in Northern California. They also had two belkin cases, as well as the Zagg screen protector.
I have the keyboard dock... I will post pics, video, and a semi review about it tomorrow.
I found the dock at my local stores but it seems no Florida store has the keyboard dock in stock.
I wish it came with an extra power adapter but I guess that's asking too much!
I'm also contemplating this one from Logitech:

I saw that one as well. I like how it gives you the option to view in landscape or portrait mode.
I wonder how well it works?

Im not sure. I clicked on preorder, then it took me to my cart and it said "in stock".
anyone want to try and see if it really is in stock? lol
Im deciding on this one or the official one.
my best buy had them and they look good.
all I have been seeing in the 3 bestbuys I have gone to are the keyboard docks and that was as of yesterday. On Friday they had nothing in the Woodbridge NJ, Staten Island NY, and Brooklyn NY Best Buy's. I havent seen another media stand since the day I went to the tabs launch on the 8th.
Just a heads up to the XDA crew, as of right now HD Speaker docks for the Xoom are $58.50 on Amazon, it says only 15 left.
Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWDE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A7A8X63QUS8D4
The next lowest price is $85.99, so $58.50 is a pretty insane bargain, it's more than 50% below retail. I just snagged one.
a couple of weeks ago there was a deal on the Motorola/amazon page for speaker dock + wireless keyboard for $54... can't believe I missed it ;(
It depends when you got in on the deal. Reports vary, and I admit to getting in early only to find a very weak selection of accessories online. Yet there are tons that got in after I did and saw a completely differently stocked store, and "made off like bandits."

Got that deal. Purchased on the 18th. No sign of it or the keyboard yet...
Also, OP should be clear: this is $64 with shipping. Still a good deal (if you're in the market).

Thanks for the link! I printed off the page, went into my local Best Buy in Toronto, and they price matched it! So instead of paying $129.99 CDN, I paid $58.50 CDN!! I can't believe that I got away with it. I swore they were going to give me a hard time since it's Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca, but to be honest, I don't think they even checked. They just looked at the price on the printed page and gave it to me, no questions asked

Lol, so you got the real deal, because your canadian dollars are worth less if i'm right than US ones? Nice job!
Just bought one via usunlocked.com and will be delivered to me next week. Get in quick, there's not many left!

thanks alot man, saved me a good bit of money on this deal!
I just realized one thing I'll miss about my Transformer is having a physically connected keyboard that I can use while travelling by plane. From what I've read Bluetooth keyboards are a no-no for in flight usage. Has anyone used a USB connected mini-keyboard using the Samsung USB adapter? I also know Samsung will be coming out (from what I've read here) with a keyboard dock but it's not available yet. I thought I also read somewhere that the Tab 10.1 dock will work with the Note 10.1.
Has anyone had any luck or a good setup for using an in-flight keyboard setup for the Note 10.1?
Hello.
I use this one http://www.logitech.com/fr-fr/mice-pointers/mice-keyboard-combos/6229
Works perfectly, both mice and keyboard .

Exactly. Might not be BT but anything wireless shouldn't be used in flight.

I'm ready to order one! Don't even care about battery and ports on the Asus one I had. Sure it was nice but I've lived without them just fine. Just need a real hardware keyboard for travel.

Ok, I know everyone will probably gag on this but...
As I was reading this thread, I went upstairs and obsconded (kids dont use it, WTH) the WII Usb KB and connected it. Works fantastic!
If you have one laying around... it may solve your want.
I picked up the official Samsung keyboard dock last week, it works nicely for that purpose!
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/...es/EKD-K14AWEGSTD?subsubtype=other-multimedia
Unfortunately, it's expensive and not available in most stores yet. Picked it up from the Samsung store in Sydney CBD.
Just so you know, Australia and USA both use the US keyboard layout (as opposed to the UK, which uses the UK layout), so maybe that could help you guys in the states source one of these? You won't have a messed up layout like you would ordering from the UK. Then again, I don't know any Australian place offering these for shipping internationally so that could be moot.

Very frustrating to not have these available for purchase in the US.
Is it possible to close it? Like the transformer or a regular laptop? Dont feel like not being able to close it..
An extra battery would be nice though incase of very long flights or train/car rides..
It doesn't hinge so you can't "fold" it closed like a regular laptop. Instead you just pull it out of the dock.
I know it has been discussed but I wanted to share my work. Not beautiful but it works. This is the dock for the Tab 10.1 modified for use with my Note 10.1

Sorry man but "not beautiful" is an understatement. Let's just say I'm glad I waited for the Note 10.1 version!

Might be coming from China. Can't remember. Looking forward to more info. Thanks.
I know this has been mentioned before, and we sound like a broke record. But in my frustration I must say this again.
It's impossible to find any Samsung accessories on any online retailers besides eBay at outrageous prices.
Been trying to find the HDMI MHL adapter: 3PHPBEGXAR
For the Note 10.1, and after 10 pages on Google full of retailers that are OUT OF STOCK, it's clear Samsung has no intention of making customer's happy after their initial purchase.
Even Asus, a much smaller company has made their accessories available at my local retailer at a good price let alone online.
This is unacceptable.
Could be. Try here. I just got my book cover from them.

Send it to my business and I will forward it to you.
PM me if you would like to. You pay the exact shipping nothing else. Just trying to help.
Thanks for the offer. Appreciate the kind gesture. I decided to order the Tab 7 dock instead, on Amazon. $27 shipped to Canada.
XDA Users report it also works for the Note 10.1
CostCaption has some rather hideous ratings on http://www.resellerratings.com/store/view/CostCaptain/page/2
I'd be careful before ordering from them, especially if the product has to take detour first.

I have the tab dock and it works perfect. Glad you got it sorted. You will like it! It's pretty cool, I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse by ianker and its amazing.

I totally agree, its soooo hard to find accesories for note 10.1. It would be great if they do something on this area coz i really love my note.

+1 scandalous pricing for the HDMI cable and still not dedicated HDMI / MEDIA Dock, Apple are expensive but at least the gear is available. SAMSUNG FAIL. I've order the tab7 dock to, looking forward to my little DIY project.
What tab 7 dock are you guys talking about. The ones I've seem have corners that would prevent the note 10.1 from fitting
just bought a All in One card reader, CF, Sd, MS, microSD, for the galaxyTab... works fine on Note10.1
bought it at the market in Vietnam for 10$ ^^ No offical accesoir tough.
Dude, if you register your device on Samsung's website, they send you a 50%-off code. I got the $99.00 AllShare Cast Media Hub for 49.00 & the desktop dock for like $15.00. I also picked up a navigation mount with USB auto charger for the GS3 for $10.00 (nicest nav dock I've seen in awhile, very solid.). You can use it for up to ten items on Sammy's accessories on their website.
All share cast is not available on Samsung website
