Car Holder/Dock

Hi all,
Anyone com across a Car holder for the Desire with a charge dock built into it? Have searched eBay but some across nowt!
Cheers,
Theloother

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=199788 Is the official One and will be released Soon

Go to http://www.brodit.com, select English and then search for 'Desire' (top left).
Lots of suppliers, but I'd reccomend www.mobilefun.co.uk

NaviPane
Attach the HTC Desire Car Upgrade Kit and your device automatically activates the "NaviPanel" interface that provides quick access to all the essential phone features while driving.

As far as I'm aware we don't have NaviPanel installed by default - could this be packaged with Froyo possibly?
It's a bit of a leap of logic, but it seems significant that they're choosing 22nd July to launch this when the Froyo rumours seem to be pointing towards the next fortnight. Why else would they wait so long to get a product like this out?
EDIT:
If your Desire is not unlocked and it's from any particular operators, then the phone might not come with NaviPanel' software.

I've just order this one from DealExtreme as a test. I'll let you know if it's any good.
I'm not allowed to link, so here's the broken version:

Cheers to all for the replies, the HTC one is the same price as the bloody phone Looks the part though.
I saw the brodit one before alright, the mounting mechanism is a bit naff though. Prefer the good ol suction jobbie on the windscreen

You have to stick a cable into your phone with that i think. Im looking for something like the brodit where you dont need to use any cable. the micro USB plug is mounted in the stand

I bought one of these from the bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260613246983
Had one from the same company for my HD and it was brilliant!
They're a little pricey, but they fit perfectly and do the job nicely!

I have two , the brodit and a cheap one from ebay that I got for travelling.
Brodit is nice but doesnt allow you to use a flexiskin on the desire. The cheap one does as it has two pressure pads at the side, and its amazing for the price. Used it for a weeks holiday abroad without any problems.

Ended up buying this:

Found it in the Accessories forum
Cheers to all for the advice!

The latest Google Maps came with a separate navigation panel, look for an icon that looks like a blue arrow pointing up. That's what will open automatically.
People need to stop reaching with the FroYo theories

That's not NaviPanel - HTC have their own version of the Nexus Car Home app.
And I realised it was a mistake shortly after posting it so shhhh!

desk dock

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/
https://www.mobilecityonline.com/wi...c&utm_term=EDDH1F8BEGSTA&utm_campaign=froogle
https://www.gocellular.ca/?item=sm4026&track=googlebase&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cpc
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.

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

Vertical Dock w/ HDMI on Amazon

Am I late to this? The dock that was shown a few months ago is now on Amazon for the Verizon version at least.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EDD-H...3Q/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1332249612&sr=8-15

"Ships in 1-3 months"

*Slaps forehead* Well time to order now I guess, get it in time for summer!

I wonder if the Galaxy Note version is compatible (lacks HDMI though).

I was wondering the same thing, made a post about it earlier today. I decided to just go ahead and order one. I watched a video after on it and the Note won't plug in with a case on, so it'll probably be the same for the Nexus. I'll post back when it comes in.

Just read on Droid Life that another place is shipping it here

Allshare Cast release date?

I thought about posing this question in the Q&A section but since it is an accessory I thought I’d list it here. Has anyone heard of a planned release date for the Allshare Cast dongle? I saw Amazon is taking orders at $100 saying it “usually ships within 1-2 months” but that’s not exactly precise.

Did you ever find out your answer? I need to buy on of these asap. I saw it on amazon too and it says 1-3 months now. Are they not available in the USA yet? Also I called the Official Samsung Accessories department today and the guy was very helpful, but had NEVER heard of this device. Seriously, I sent him a few links of the device on Amazon and the Review of the device off Engadget. He called me back to let me know, no one there had ever heard of it either.....Weird!

It's available in Poland

From all I've heard it should be last week of August in UK, and I just don't get why we get the high end phones released and announced first over here because we are one of the biggest markets, but Samsung always give us the accessories last and not bother with any firm release dates, I mean a lot of people are already pissed off with lack of Mass storage mode and External App moving so you'd think they'd have enough sense to get the accessories out as quick as possible to divert attention away from everything else they messed up.

Yeah I know what you mean... I mean stupid HTC has there Media Link out already. It does practically the same thing, but from what I have seen, it isnt quite as good. I wonder if it is even compatible with with other android devices. I want the Allshare Dongle because as a teacher I want to use its presentation mode for power point.
Hey guys, one more thing, I also Have a Nexus 7, you think I could install Allshare on the Tab an use the dongle with the tab as well? That would be ideal!

Allshare funcion uses wireless lan (router) to stream only videos, photos and music.
Allshare cast dongle uses Wi-Fi Direct technology to create mirror of the phone on the TV screen (you can also play games). You don't have to be in the area with wi-fi network.
Allshare cast dongle only works with Galaxy S3.

Here in sweden we have had it for about 2weeks now and my two cents in the matter is,,,,as of now the dongle doesn't work very well ,,
No 1080p , problems with connection, picture in picture (popup play) doesn't work,
Overall iam kind of disappointed
Hopefully a fw upgrade will correct some or all of the problems

In-Flight (USB/Dock) Keyboard for Note

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.

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
