The accessory I am most looking forward to for the HTC Thunderbolt is the multimedia dock.
I love my desktop dock for the Nexus One and will definitely be getting the multimedia dock when it is released.
Does anyone know the timeline for release for the dock?
I will believe it exists when I see it. IIRC, there was supposed to be a dock for the incredible too. No links for sale at VZW, Amazon, or Best Buy. With the usb on the side, this is a much needed accessory and is keeping me on the sidelines. Oh, that and root/S-OFF. And it appears the battery life is still an issue. My incredible gets me through the day, but was about 4-6 hours when it was new/stock. Hopefully the thunderbolt will only get better.

Its listed in the accessories section of the Verizon website. Well, it was listed on my corporate discount page anyway.
Not seeing it on vzw.com in accessories or via search.
Search for: thunderbolt dock
No results found for your search.
Can anyone post a screen shot of it from their corporate purchasing site? This phone has been coming soon for months, so it really doesn't make much sense not to sell the dock on the release date.

its on htcpedia but not available yet. I want this bad boy also!
No screenshots just yet. Still at work. $60 regular price. $45 for me with discount.
Called vzw today to order my extended battery, but they said they don't have the docks in stock

same here, local storeS lol, yes stores are outta the extended battery and never got media docks!
havent found anywhere to get the dock yet.
when I got the og droid they had combo pack with car dock and mutimedia dock all for 50 bucks hope they do that with the thunderbolt
Doubt that will happen considering the price for the Dock by itself is more than $50.
I got the car dock for free along with one of those double cases, screen protectors and cleaning wipes, and a car charger when I got my TB..
bought a dock for my og droid and barely used it tho...never used the car mount either. wont be getting a dock for the TB..
blablablablabla
So they just gave you $50 in accessories for free?

I'm wondering about the connectivity options for this Multimedia Dock - can it provide a TV out connection for example?
It's not easy to find out and I have tried to search high and low to find something about the connectivity - the name Dock implies that it also offers the possibility to hook it up to an external stereo or TV set etc.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone has a link to more information about this product.
That would be great

Looks like we're finally getting some official accessories from Samsung themselves. And as the article states, it clearly lists compatibility with the Verizon model. Is it too much to hope that the elusive car dock with pogo won't be far behind?
I'm an accessory junkie, but that price is not even close! I don't need to use the 3pin connection that bad.. Damnn..
For a desktop dock that doesn't do a data connection, $40 is my upper limit and even then, it would have to be awesome. My $15 upright dock I found here and picked up from Amazon is still working just fine.

Those have been the rumored prices all along. You're paying for convenience.
I'll be buying both the desk dock and car dock thats for damn sure.
This is the one thing I am quite disppointed in Samsung. The Accessories should have been available when the phone launched. One of the reasons I purchased the phone was for the quick pogo connection, I hate having to plug and unplug usb.
It's a little pricey but I really like the idea of not having to physically connect the usb. I just bought this..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NJ6EPI/ref=oh_o00_s00_i02_details
Very happy with it so far, but it does require 2 hands and a bunch of monkeying around. I would like this dock but $89.99 on top of the $20.99 I already spent on the other one makes the whole thing a little expensive.
This dock has a "line out" port on the back, so like the Pogo car dock, I'm guessing it'll be a Bluetooth dock (maybe with autoconfigure with the middle pin of the pogo?)
Must not order..... ordering ..no. yes .... arghhhh
This has got to be a joke - 90USD for a freaking charging dock? Anyone buying this is, with all due respect, a moron. Value your money people.
Pretty crappy if this is truly going to be the price.

Extended battery?
While it does seem expensive, there's not much detail listed. Anyone find any info on the compatibility with the extended battery & cover for the Verizon GN?
*sigh* I miss the time when Google partnered with HTC, made the excellent Nexus One, and launched it along with a pogo-charging, bluetooth-media-connecting desktop dock, which cost $45.
Can't believe this is $90, looks like I am going to buy some legos and build my own
Yea $90 bucks is insane...
Hopefully some aftermarket manufacturers will make a similar dock for a good price...
I wonder if that is just the "Samsung" price. And the actual retail price will be lower?
I pre-ordered the dock for my GSM Galaxy Nexus and it is "only" $60. Which I thought was a bit expensive even at that price.
Hopefully the street price of the CDMA dock is also lower than the suggested Samsung price.
I ordered one yesterday and it will arrive on Monday, probably the most expensive accessory I ever bought. Coming from the Thunderbolt, whose official dock was 50+, it is a lot. However, the constant plugging and unplugging of the Micro USB cable takes a toll or your micro USB port.
I like to keep the phone in good condition, since I usually sale my phones after a year or so to trade up for something new, so I might be able to get $50 for it when I sell it. All in all I need a dock, and I'm tired of waiting for these other stores to start selling. I will probably have to stay off the Starbucks for a couple of weeks to recover that extra cost.

sad, but seems to be true:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D1F8BEBSTD-gallery
I'm under the impression that this dock is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and not the GSM version.
I think I will stick to the vertical one from ebay, at least I can also use my MHL cable out the back of it for when I install Ubuntu
Here £6.99
I could justify a car dock for that price since my car is my office, but there's a difference between justifying it and being willing to pay it. For people that would actually use it every single day for a good amount of time, I can see why someone would pay that much over someone that just wants a dock to charge it on while they're sleeping. It's still pricy though.
At night, I use the plastic dock/holder thing that comes with the Verizon spare battery charging kit. Pop the phone on there, plug a charging cable in, and put it in Clock Mode. It works just fine for me.
$90 is really steep. I know Samsung said that they were waiting on response to decide what accessories to make, but they should have inquired about price point as well. If it's any consolation, prices will come down with time. I guess I understand the business aspect of it, I know that at least the LTE version will probably never be a big seller, but it sucks non-the-less.
Ok, I am a little bit ticked off right now.
I had a Nexus One. When I bought the N1 dock, it came very nicely packaged and with its own power cable AND audio cable. Its cost felt justified.
So, since I got my Galaxy Nexus I decided to order the dock for it.
I just got the dock (after waiting a week when it was 2 day shipping), I open the package and I pull out the cheapest flimsiest packaging ever. I pull out the dock (which does feel solid), and THAT'S IT! There is NO power cable and NO audio cable included. $68.xx for a freaking dock with NO cables.
I seriously feel like I've been ripped-the-****-off here.
I know their site says no audio cable included... so whatever, but to not include the charger either... that's pretty damn ****ty in my opinion.
I just thought I would vent here since I had not seen this mentioned any where else before.
Damn. At least throw in a cable!

Definitely! At least the car dock came with a lighter socket charger. I guess Samsung though it wasn't necessary/wanted to cheap out since we already have one from our phones. I'm more irritated by the fact that there's no way to manually turn off the screen when docked.
I thought the same thing when I opened my dock... I also had the nexus one and the dock... At least we got a second charger with that...
At least you can seek solace in the fact that the LTE dock is, for all intensive purposes, the same exact dock... for $90 and there still aren't any cables included. I actually bought the GSM dock for mine and sanded it down to fit my more portly LTE version because the price difference is bollocks in my opinion.

Very cool. I wonder what the charging pad looks like.
Also, while this will fit under your otterbox I don't know if it will actually charge it through it. Worth the $45 though!
for 45$ and a drop in solution i am willing to try and test it...
This looks like a damn good price tbh. $68 for a receiver and charger is cheaper than any qi combo that I know of currently.
The bonus is that it's also Qi technology so even if you change your s3 out, you should be able to get another phone that has qi tech in it or even modify that charging pad to work on other electronic devices (with some copper tape/wire)

Thats exactly what i was thinking.. The odd fact that i just so happend to find this today and apparently it just went live today i am pretty excited to snag it at this price.
But As im sure the capabilities to wirelessly charge are inevitably going to be included in future phones it isnt like this tech is likely going to be easily replaced. And it also seems like Samsung is going to abandon using our phones tech as wireless charging.. or at least thats what i gathered from thsi article..
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/11/samsung_s4/
the thing w/ samsung and wireless charging is that they really have no idea who the hell they're really going to back. Yes, Samsung co-founded A4WP, but they're also member of Qi's group as well.
To me, it just looks like they're sitting on the fence and waiting to see who will come out as the standard before going all in. I also don't think Samsung will build it into the phone itself due to its current ambivalence on the 2 standards and most likely leave it open like the s3 and note 2.
While the article talks about a4wp having a few cm of range, he also did not mention that a newer revision of Qi offers up to 4cm of range as well (last I checked).
I don't care much for too much range for wireless charging, just enough so that any non-ferrous case will charge regardless of thickness. I have a Qi set and it has so far worked with the ballisitc SG (although it Can get picky, but that's due to the fact that I also modified the charger to be at a 45 degree angle and the case's bottom lip [on the hard plastic side] curved up a little for no reason)

Right that much i understand...
I was holding out for the wireless charging where i didnt need to have it directly on the base. and every few months i search around for a viable option.
So far, since my free time is limited, this seems like the best all in one solution that doesnt require me to change my case, and its a good price.

i got it. i know i could make a set with the palm pixie stuff, i priced it out on amazon and total with a charging dock its like 20$... but i dont have the time to. im only actually home about 3 days a month. id rather be lazy..
Just an FYI i got my wireless charging kit from this company and it works great. Its a small device that attaches to the back of the stock battery. Its very small and it fits perfectly, very small buldge from the device but the back case fits on fine and my otterbox fits it perfectly.
the best part, it works with the stock otterbox. there were no issues with wireless charging whatsoever.
How is this one any different than any of the other wireless IQ receiver pads & chargers for the s3?

That it works with all variants, doesnt require you to change out your battery door, although they offer a solution for it, and its pad and reciever for 40$
So upon researching dock options, I see that the official dock is in the works, with a MSRP US of 50 dollars:
http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-7-premium-cover-and-dock-details-leak-31240960/
Has anyone come across any viable third party alternatives? I'm so ready to use this with my PS3 controller to get my gaming on.
Edit: Well, looks like I missed a digit on the date. Ignoring my ignorance, let's talk docks! I'm very interested in 3rd party options or the viability of the old one functioning with the 2013 refresh.

Also I think the new Nexus 7 doesn't have Pogo-pins? I don't have mine around me to confirm.
That's the old Nexus 7 dock
The date on that article is for July 31st, but back in 2012. It must be referring to the old Nexus 7.. the clue was the mention of a 3-pin connector on the side.
Right, so edited the OP to accommodate my terrible ability to read dates.
It looks like there are barely any options currently for a dock of sorts.
There is the incipio stand here:
http://www.shopandroid.com/incipio-fixie-universal-tablet-stand/6A39A12239.htm
There are a couple of Qi charging stands as well:
http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/qi-charging-stand/
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/qi-wireless-charging-pad-and-stand-p38173.htm
But again, this doesn't allow data transfer. It would be nice to place the N7 in a dock that is constantly connected to my desktop or by my bed for an alarm function.
The QI charging stand will take care of the second need, but data transfer would be nice as well. I'm very surprised we don't have docking pins.
I'm assuming being able to charge the device isn't a necessity, since you linked to the Incipio stand. I actually bought a black plastic stand at my local TJMaxx(or Ross, or Marshalls. One of those, lol) for only $4.99 or $5.99. I bought it for my Asus Infinity (10.1" tablet), and it works great in both landscape and portrait! Since getting my '13 N7 a few days ago, I've put it in the dock in both landscape and portrait as well. It also works great in either position! I've had my Note 2 in it, and even my Evo LTE before . Though, some of the display is blocked when either my Note 2 or Evo LTE is in this dock/stand. Just stating how versatile it is by being able to hold my 10.1" tablet, 7" tablet, 5.5" phone, and even 4.7" phone, all with perfect stability! If interested, you might want to check online for something similar. Knowing how well it works and how discreet it really is, I wish I would have bought at least 3 of these when the store had them in stock!
I'm gonna put some pics of the stand in the following post. Also pics of my Infinity an '13 N7 in both portrait and landscape position.

Microcenter has those for $6.99.
Another cheap option would be small photo easels. Foldable and prop your tablet up for useability anywhere in the house. They are often available at the dollar stores, so you really can't beat the price.
Microcenter has a nice-looking metal stand that raises the tablet if you want to use it as a secondary monitor.
None of these are docks, of course, but the design of the Cygnett stand would keep the charging cord out of the way.

I wonder if there will be an Official dock that lets you:
1. Charge
2. Expand TV HDMI out
3. USB port for Hard drive access
I really want the Nexus & FHD to be a Home entertainment player...may be a remote/ Or Kinect like gesture control app built in with the dock
Hope this comes true...it will be the best Combo for a home unit!

It is pretty lightweight! It's hollow inside though, so you could easily add some weight to it! It hasn't been an issue for me in the few months that I've had it. My Asus Infinity is a pretty big device, but this stand handles that tablet just fine. Here's a picture of the bottom of the stand showing that it's hollow, but still has plenty of unused space inside of it to add your own weights to it if you wanted.

I completely agree with you with an official Asus/N7 dock!! Charger is a must (obviously), an HDMI port would be great, at least 1 USB port, and a 3.5 auxiliary jack for audio!! If they would release an official dock with all of these features, then I would not think twice about buying it(assuming it's less than $100, should be around $50)!!!! Even without the HDMI port, as long as the other 3 are included then I would buy it! ChromeCast is going to be a pretty common household item for all Android users, especially given the low price point! That said, an HDMI port isn't a feature that I would choose over an auxiliary audio jack! Sure I could just stream music to my home theater system using ChromeCast, but I also have smaller speaker systems that I'd like to be able to use without connecting via bluetooth(Jawbone Big Jambox for example), and they won't be nearly as loud as my home theater for when I'm not trying to have everyone in the house listen to the same thing as I am!!
Also, my Asus Infinity has a mini HDMI port built in to the side of the tablet. I mainly use it for gaming anyway, but especially when I'm wanting to play on my flat screen TV!! Just so easy with the Sixaxis app, a PS3 controller, an having the HDMI port right on the tablet! I have an HDMI - mini HDMI cable hooked to my TV at all times. Basically, I said all of that just to say that this is probably the main reason that an HDMI port on the official dock isn't really that important to me, and why I'd prefer the 3.5mm jack over the HDMI port. That's IF I couldn't have both anyway!

have you seen the Tylt Vu? thats $100.
But this really isnt that pricy imo...I'd much rather pay $50 to have an elegant dock / stand that will charge in portrait AND landscape than buy a $30 pad that you have to lay the tablet down on and thus lose the functionality of it. Plus it wont slide off on this.
Putting a nice dock with a qi charger warrants another $20 to me.
