There are several for car docks, but I didn't see any for desktop docks. I don't want to spend the $90 on the pogo dock for the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm wanting to know what's the best alternative? I want something that has an mhl port that can be used for mirroring and charging port. I don't care about a headphone jack too much.

Hey Guys,
Just thought I would share my HDMI dock alternative tip. The HDMI dock for the original Galaxy Tab will work with the plain dock for the 10.1. The original dock is 2 pieces and the adapter part plugs right into the 10.1 dock. Not sure why they didn't go this route from the beginning but definitely a workaround for the impossible to find HDMI adapter.

$40 total with free shipping from trustworthy Amazon.
Your links went nowhere for me.

Links work fine, it's the same idea of a 7" dock combined with the pretty useless 10.1" dock that has been around for a while. But now with conveniently added links to amazon sellers.
I'm looking for a media dock with hdmi and charging capability. I'd like it to be all in one piece but from what I've read the Samsung one isn't what I'm looking for. Is there something that's a comprehensive solution or is this going to be an a la cart thing?
I thought I had read Samsung was releasing a new all in one solution some time back.
The desktop dock and the hdmi adapter are two products but will do what you want. The desktop dock has a connector on the back to plug the hdmi adaptor into and the hdmi adaptor has a power passthrough.

links? amazon?
I tried to post links on my original comment but my post count isnt high enough and it wouldnt let me.
Just go to the samesung site. They're official Samsung accesories and there are only a few of those. Once you know what you're looking for they should be easy to find on Amazon.
So I just bought the GSM galaxy nexus from the play store (waiting to be shipped). I am seeing all of these car dock issues not having the POGO ect. My Epic 4G touch car dock uses the USB for music and charging (AUX and chargers plugs in back). Does anyone know if the usb with these types of docks will plug into other phones like this one and still get sound and power from the Dock? If so it might be worth looking into a mod? Just curious if this has already been discussed?
im sure it would work just fine if you managed to mod it precisely. personally i felt like the dock caused some wear on the usb port which is y i loved the idea of the pogo pins.
I'm looking for a dock that can charge or sync when needed to. HDMI dock doesn't have headphone jack so that a drawback.
Which dock would u recommend and what are the pro and con of each??

The HDMI dock is used for connecting your phone to an HDMI display. It connects to your phone via the micro-usb port.
The pogo dock is used for sending just audio out of your device to another. It connects to your phone via the pogo pins on the side of your phone, so it's far easier to just slide your phone quickly in to the dock to charge.
Both docks are capable of charging.
Neither are capable of passing the USB data signal through to the phone.
Im looking for a dock that can charge and has the headphone jack so I can plug it in to a home theatre. Which one would that be??

Just wondering when the release of the cable for the ibolt dock is expected to be released. I really want this dock but it is useless without the cable.
Also is there anywhere else that has them besides amazon
