I don't get why the desk dock is taking so long to become available for the galaxy nexus. Everywhere I look it's still on pre-order. Here are the sites i'm looking at:
https://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/

Does anyone know a place selling this?
no place is selling it, thats why your only finding it for preorder.
latest release date from negri has it at sometime in either the end of this month or february
Well, I ordered both docks (desk and car) from Bell last Friday and they're supposed to be in the store by tomorrow. They seemed to think that it was no problem ordering them for me because according to the system, some of the stores already got the desk dock.
Anyway, I'll check back tomorrow although I'm not very optimistic.
My theory is that they did not think very hard about the power button being inaccessible when the phone is in the dock, and they are redesigning it.
I know, it launches a dock app when in the dock, but having owned several phones with docks I can tell you that being able to press the power button is darned useful:
- The screen might keep me awake at night.
- I might be concerned about OLED burn in.
- The battery might charge quicker with the screen off.
The desk dock may not have a problem with the power button down. They COULD have a bump in the base and just pressing ANYWHERE on the top edge of the phone could depress the power button.
At least that is how I plan to build my desk dock!

Well there's not much they can do now, because it's almost like the issue goes back to the design of the phone itself, having the power and the 3pins on the same side.
Anyone tried this?

This is most likely the case. If so it was a GENIUS design decision.
Perhaps google is still working on updated desk and car dock applications and Samsung is waiting until those are finished to release them.
Also, the nexus one the car dock was released 3 months after the N1 launched. (April 6th)

No....there's no 3-pin connector. It's just a generic dock, nothing like what is being discussed here.
I want this dock like yesterday. Desk and car dock.

Let us know if you get them today. I'm surprised that some stores have them in stock already. I just called the Bell flagship store in Montreal, and they don't have any, and they have no idea when they are going to get any...

Just got off the phone with a lady at the Bell store in Oakville where I placed my order. She said they didn't arrive today, but was able to find out they would arrive on Wednesday. Now, I'm not sure if thats 100% fact or what she was told but I said I would call back Wednesday. She also said it was both docks (car/desk) that would arrive.
I'll post here then.

I personally won't order it on line (as I do NOT believe that they have it in stock -- they have been known to give wrong information in the past), but as soon as it is in the stores, I'd be happy to pick one up for you and ship it, assuming it is available here before the U.S.
P.S.: I just called a few stores, and no one has it yet.
Just because it's not in stores doesn't mean the online orders won't ship out. Maybe they have more inventory. Someone order this and find out! haha

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.
Is there anything available yet? Ideally i'd like the horizontal multimedia dock for home and my car, but they keep delaying the release (4/5/12) now.
Seriously, how hard is it to shop online?

Nope nothing out yet. There was that $90 Samsung dock for pre order but it's off their website.
If someone were to come up with a pogo dock they would make a killing.
Just going to give you a warning. Samsung and others have claimed that the pogo docks won't be released until the Android 4.0.5 update comes out OTA. Supposedly, there is an issue that is caused when the phone goes into Dock mode.
Please use the search function on the top right of the website, there was a thread about this just a couple pages back.
There are SEVERAL threads on this some of which are 20 pages long. I guess OP can't be bothered to search.

It's like they fell off the face of the earth within a day or two since Google announced them on playstore. What happened to them?
I'm looking for one but not willing to shell out the $75+ that every retailer is asking for.
Ridiculous considering the verizon ones are about $10.
Message me a quote if anyone has one they can let go.

well im on the same road, cant find any cheap anywhere.
The GSM ones are expensive because they actually have the pogo pins. I have a dock which I hollowed out the buttons on so it would fit my toroplus. I'd be more than happy to sell it when I upgrade to a Note 3.

Thing is, I want to jump ship to note 3 as well.
Give the dock to me for $10? I'll take it.
Hey guys, I've been trying to find the Griffin Powerdock for our phones, but it has been out of stock for months and I haven't seen any recent posts about its status. Does anyone know where I could still get one of these? I thought I saw a post or two about it being recalled due to an issue, but didn't see any real consensus on if that was true or not. Any help would be awesome!

Bump for replies
I asked Moto customer service for an ETA on the Powerdock a couple of times and got nothing. I was lucky enough to catch one for sale on Ebay.
You can buy mine off of me. I don't use it anymore as my OtterBox case prevents the phone from docking with it. I should still have the original packaging as well
I picked one up at the end of March when it was on sale. I just took a look on Moto's site and it shows in stock. Here is the link:
http://www.motorola.com/us/accessor...y-Griffin/griffin-navigation-dock-moto-x.html
It is also available on Griffin's site.

You can also find it on Amazon.

Yeah. Just realized you were talking about the Powerdock. You can try one of the ones from RND Power Solutions. I've heard good things about it. Here are links to 2 different models.

They were in stock at their normal $39.99 price, but I didn't have the spare cash last month. Now they're gone. Not out of stock. Just gone. So, I'm in the market for two (home and work).
I just ordered one off Amazon, but it was from a new seller with zero feedback. If this were Ebay, I wouldn't have bothered, but Amazon's policies are very customer friendly, so it's worth the risk to me.
If anyone else wants to part with their (gently) used dock, let me know and we'll work something out. I do NOT have a PayPal account anymore as I've divorced myself from PP/Ebay, but I can send/receive money through Venmo/Square/Google and possibly others.
