HD Multimedia Dock 59$ / Standard Dock 49$ ?

http://androidandme.com/2011/01/pho...motorola-atrix-4g-could-retail-for-around-59/
Sounds good to me. So far, all price leaks regarding the Atrix have been really interesting (150$ for the laptop, 150$ for the phone with 2 yr contract in US, probably similar with 3yr in Canada, and now these reasonably priced docks).

i wonder if you HAVE to use the docking station with a screen, or does that just give you the remote control capability?
Surely I will just be able to plug in via HDMI and play movies, music, pictures etc? Seems odd that you need a special box for it. Possibly more comfortable, thats all.
Maybe someone will invent a wifi based remote control...?

Its logical, that if you have miniHDMI port, you dont need anything else (also check this thread someone said about video output).
I think that the Standart Dock is just for charging and easier connecting Atrix to TV (normal HDMI port) and with HD Dock you can also connect some USB devices like mouse or keyboard.
And most important you get nice stand for your Motorola

If there's only a $10 difference I may just get two multimedia docks. One to keep connected to my TV and the other next to my bed.

that hd dock looks great, I really want one for my Atrix ( when I will buy it ). And that other dock, it doesn't have remote control, right?

latest word is the dock is going to cost upwards of $500.
AT&T has announced pricing for the Android smartphone, which will run $199.99 when you sign up for a 2-year contract, but it will cost $499.99 to purchase the docking station that effectively turns the phone into a laptop computer. That means the docking station will be about twice as expensive as we’d been hearing… and it will cost even more if you don’t buy the Webtop at the same time as the phone. Oh yeah, you’ll also have to pay for a tethering add-on in addition to your smartphone data plan.
The dock will run $499.99 if purchased separately.

That's the laptop dock. The HD Multimedia Dock will be "only" $189 with a keyboard, mouse, and remote.

Love the "only"... That has to be a crazy keyboard and mouse...

HD dock is $130 or so. Screw that. Just run the HDMI cable straight to the TV from the phone, and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, no need for the USB port.

I ordered the multimedia dock bundle because I get 40% off accessories through the at&t premier website. $117 isn't so bad for everything you get. The laptop dock was not fiscountable but the price of that was not worth discount or none IMO. If I don't like the multimedia dock I have 14 days to return it... so here's hoping I like it.

According to this video on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8sN3DnKaKM if you only plug in the HDMI cable there is no Webtop button. The guy says when you plug in just an HDMI cable there are two modes "Entertainment mode, and the do nothing mode"
So I guess they figured out a way for the phone to identify when it is using one of the docks.

I would like a standard dock that just holds the phone and maybe allows for charging; im definitely thinkinng of the standard dock though.
Using this in class to take notes is something taht is really excitint; im using an ipad right now and i love it, but sometimes I dont want to throw at ithe bag and set it up just to take a few notes.

Too bad they don't have the keyboard case either. Makes me wish THAT was a motorola product.
I was also confused about the shipping since when you add the item to the cart it says you can get free two day shipping and to select that option at checkout, but it still charges you for it.

cool, still worked, but not many accessories. Such as car charger, other gel case colors, etc. But otherwise I will try at a STD dock to hack and a keyboard for that price.

I was hoping for that too. But I just went with the original keyboard instead. They also have 50% off bluetooth accessories.

Just ordered the keyboard.

too bad US only

YUP US only ..........along with 3.1 update, customer support. Even amazon market excludes non US. Yup motorola only interested in US customers as far as I can see. Infact activly excluding the rest of the world. GREAT model for a business. They dont let you know this when you buy thier products.

really ? How can you get that price cause original price for:
keyboard = $70
speaker dock = $130
car charger = $ 30
camera kit = $20
=> total is $250 - 50% off = $125 ( not include tax yet)

they take off an extra 50.00 because the keyboard is a bluetooth accessory

thank for pointing that out, this deal is almost 75% off . order mine too

Wow, pretty nice deal. I want another AC adapter so I went to see how much it would be. Check this out:
$29.99 adapter
-$15.00 coupon XOOMAC50
+ $4.00 shipping
+ $1.33 tax
---------
$20.32 total
Now, if I just go to Amazon and look for the same product I can get it for:
$15.99 adapter
$4.48 shipping
---------
$20.47 total
... almost the same price. Too bad the coupon code wouldn't work on that one.

I looked around to find out more about the "Camera Kit Adapter". From what I can tell, this is an OTG cable and as long as you have Honeycomb 3.1, you can use it to connect a mouse, keyboard or game controller to your Xoom. However, you will not be able to connect a USB flash drive because the USB Host interface does not have the software support for USB-keys. A rooted Xoom with a custom kernel (I assume... but maybe custom ROM too?) may be able to support flash drives. Motorola may also add it in at a later date too.
Can anyone confirm or deny any of this?
I ordered an OTG cable from eBay, but of course it will be a few weeks before I see it, so I was thinking about ordering this too.

I currently use a flash drive on my Xoom. I'm using a custom Tiamet kernel and I'm rooted. It works awesome. I carry my Music and N64 ROM's.

Anyone know how the additional $50 off promotion works? I can only get it to work with the keyboard, but I already have one (which I dont need anymore anyway since I got the verizon folio keyboard case). I tried a set of bluetooth headphones, thinking it might be a "bluetooth" deal, but it didn't work.

Re usage, you can get vga converters for about £50

This is dvi to vga but you can get a dvi to hdmi connector for a couple of quid. But yeh a hdmi enabled monitor is about £75 now, and whether a converter would even work or not i dont know. Would be great to have a way for sneaky full screen web browsing on my vga monitor at work...

Car Dock wanted

Hi All,
I am looking for an car dock, please suggest me which would be good, i do not mind if it is universal car dock as long as it does not spoil my phone. I am open for anyone selling orginal car dock.
Buying an original brand new car dock is out of question as it has to be shipped from US and not available locally and it is pretty costly by the time it reaches here(Taxes etc)
Location: India,Bangalore
I did buy a charger a local car charger but this does not charge my atrix where as it works for other phones any idea?
Please let me know guys appreciate anyone's help

I'm on the search for one my self and so far Clingo is the best universal car mount there is! I'll be buying one very soon. Or I'll wait bit, I'm sure the official car dock will get very cheap and it will be affordable even including taxes. You can do the same if you are able to wait.

Amazon has the Motorola car dock for the atrix. Motorola suggests 59.95, but you can get it for 25.00 at amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Motorola-Atrix-Car-Dock/dp/tags-on-product/B004OA1UMY

The motorola vehicle dock is mint. Worth every penny. The integrated audio and charge via single custom wire makes for a clean look.

Anyone use this with cm9 or cm7? Does that all in one audio cable that comes out of the USB work or does it need some blur app?

I've used the Motorola Car Dock with both cm7 and cm9. Google's Car Home apk works fine with cm7, though I had some audio glitches and would have to unplug and replug the audio jack.
I'm using Car Home Ultra with cm9 now as the google car home does not work yet and have had great luck with it. Bluetooth and audio jack work as expected.

All Moto Car Dock Audio works flawlessly with CM9 but only once you install the Google car app. At CM7 it was a cluster. Weekly CM7 resolved this, but the audio routing would change to speakerphone if you received or made a call. Blur based ROM is better at 2.3.x. Been running CM9 from jokersax for 4 days. Very impressed. Not worth trying CM7, considering how far along CM9 is at the moment. Some issues exist, but nothing that will prevent you using it as your primary phone.

if this is anything like the desktop dock they have now in terms of design be prepared for broken usb port. happened to mine. the usb is the only thing holding it from moving front back/side to side. its not made specifically for any model just the galaxy family in general. such garbage coming from samsung.

You have a point.
There is a workaround.
For example, with my S3 I have a slim case.
I bought an Ibolt car dock and a KiDiGi desktop....both with provisions to accommodate with/without a slim case specifically made for an S3.
YET...still, the fit was loose on the desktop and though tight on the Car dock, the grooves were too deep allowing too much screen to be obscured.
THE WORKAROUND...I sliced up some black super high density foam and created a BED inside the grooves of the docking stations so that it would be a much tighter and safer fit. Works perfect and hardly visible. (black on black) I simply glued the foam to the docks.
In my head, my imagination and I have designed docking stations with an adjustable base/sides that you SCREW SET into place according to the case that you are using for your S3. Is this such a hard thing to implement? Doubt it. Some of the Proclip car docks have a hint of this type of adjustability.

The price of this is way out of what it should be it's nothing new or special it's just eh dock with extended features I know its Samsung so you pay a premium price and it would match your device color but you would really have to want it to be a Samsung one at that price.
I mean conversion wise Euros are pretty much a straight conversion to GBP so let square it £90 for a dock that has OTG support and MHL that's just crazy.
Here is a link for all those interested: http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/...nes/EDD-S20EWEGSTD?subsubtype=docking-station

Careful, your post makes it seem like the US item is equivalent to the German item you also show. But the US dock is the regular one without HDMI and USB Host access.
Generally - it seems that most companies match the foreign purchase price in euros - to dollars when it eventually arrives in the US. In other words, when it gets released on the US website - I'd expect it to be around $80. I could be wrong, but I'm waiting to see if it arrives soon.

sir, you are confused.
the "american link" is NOT the same device at all. it does not have OTG, nor does it have HDMI
your american link: charges, syncs, 3.5mm audio
the german link: charges, may sync, 3.5mm audio, HDMI out, USB host (for keyboards mouse, etc.)
HUGE difference.

Yeah...I just saw this dock the other day. It just hit the internet. Thanks for also showing the American link version. Black too. $50usd is not that bad really. Considering the wiring and outputs, it's priced ok in N.A. It is a generic solution...but I would simply compliment it with my foam trick from my previous post. You know, with the foam, you end up with a darn tight fit and a soft landing pad as a bonus.
UPDATE: oh...scarrmrcc and P0ll0L0c0 point out that it's not the same unit. Too bad. Don't feel bad. We all make mistakes.
You should edit your post accordingly.

so, it is moving slowly in the direction of the US

in Germany, it costs €80....

I want to have this but ain't willing to pay such price...€30 to €40 cheaper should be ok...but the proud €80 is outrageous!!
I hope I can find similar cheaper products (copies) in amazon or ebay very soon.

Post edited sorry guys for the confusion I don;t know why that's called a multimedia dock as well?

I am holding on to my 50% off coupon code for this dock. I feel it combines allshare (when on ROMs with wired) and OTG capabilities. If I buy allshare, I might not be able to use AOSP roms.

samsung uses the term multimedia pretty darn loosely...
the US link gives 2 media: usb storage (as in it allows you to access the phone's memory) and audio. so tecnically, it is multimedia.. but I feel that is cheating.
the german one at the beginning of the thread, has one major difference in nomenclature: it is a docking station (unlike the the other, which is just a dock). as a docking station is it gives USB (storage. and access), HTMI out, OTG, audio.. the whole thing. (and uses the "smart mote" triggered by a 40.2kOHM resistor).
they deliberately make people think the items are more than they are...

Finally! Has anyone found a blue version available for pre-order?

HELP!!! Can the multimedia dock be compatible with other android+mhl+otg phones?
Hi, Can someone please tell me if the multimedia dock can be used with other android phones with MHL and OTG capability? For example the Zte V985 has a micro usb port and supports full MHL + OTG and is also android 4.0.4 so theoretically it should also work with the samsung multimedia dock?
