Aslo called Smart Keyboard
Also call "Smart Keyboard". I just bought one in Singapore for $85.

I bought mine for $137.70 Sing$ (= $85 US dollar), tax included and charged to my AMX card.
It works with my MDAIII but when it powers up it can't find the connections so you have to hit reconnect twice and then it's good to go. You do not have to reset the device to get the connection back.
Overall the keyboard works great and I can type on it pretty good. Back space key could be bigger or I could learn to type with less mistakes:-0
I put the batteries in left it all night and then another 16 hours of time with some type, batteries still going.
Three thumbs up (dam nuclear power plant next to my house )

We offer international shipping if you are not in Singapore.

[REQ] Build custom lapdock

Hi! It's my first post here!
I was wandering if it's possible to build a custom "lapdock" station.
Basically what do i need is:
- screen hdmi capable
- keyboard
- battery
- touchpad
- eventually speakers
Since a lapdock has only this stuff inside.
Here is a scheme i tought about:

The only thing i dunno is how to make the usb hub to give power to the atrix and to the other devices! I mean it's ok for the electricity, but i dunno if it's correct for data transfert.
About the software, i think that debian could handle all this (speakers via usb, keyboard etc etc.. )
Any suggestion?
sorry for my bad english lol

Are you thinking a stationary dock? Or a mobile dock? From your schematics I am assuming a stationary dock. Either way it would be a great hackaday project.

Actually i was thinking to a mobile one
The schematics works the same, the only thing I assume would change is the dimension of the single parts!

it wont be cheaper than 200 dollars

Sure, but you can add custom parts as a more capable battery, better screen, plug-off BT keyboard etc..

I have been thinking of doing the same type of thing, but my set-up would be stationary. One thing I did think of for myself would be to have a keyboard with integrated touchpad. In the OP's case, it would be one less piece to deal with and make it much more portable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the more portable you want to make it, the more expensive it will be. and besides, this phone isnt known to run particularly fast on webtop..
lets say you spend 400 dollars... you can pretty much buy a low end laptop that will run way better. the cost to benefit ratio just doesnt seem worth it. not only that, but in the future when new devices come out you might have to scrap this contraption. we don't even know if future devices will have this functionality yet.

[VIDEO] EXOGEAR ExoMount Tablet S Dashboard Mount (Fits HTC One)

Goal: Find a mount which would support a larger phone or smaller Android based tablet to enjoy Torque1. This mount needs to firmly grip the device and not allow it to vibrate a tremendous amount. It would also be nice if it didn't look horrible and was easy to mount the phone properly/quickly.
Solution: EXOGEAR ExoMount Tablet S
This mount retails for $49.95, and I believe it was worth every penny. It is hard to sharp shoot its faults when it does such a good job of fulfilling my goal.
Its flexibility guarantees that I will be able to use it in the future with other devices. I shouldn't outgrow this product quickly.
Now enjoy my crummy video and pictures. Tested it with the Note 2, Galaxy S, and HTC One so far...

On the Galaxy S4, it would be easy to charge and access the power button. Not so much for the headphone jack. Bluetooth is the key for audio if using this mount.
The charge port is not in the center of the HTC One. It would have to be offset in order for the charger to be plugged in. You also can't plugin a 3.5mm headphone jack. Again, use bluetooth if possible. You wouldn't want the device to go into sleep as it would be hard to press the power button.

1 - Torque is an Android application.
Description from Play Store:
See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!
Torque is a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU
Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want!
It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time
It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!

Fixed link.
NOTE: I had to go back and use the 3m disk today. It was really hot. This is not a design flaw as it was meant to be a part of the installation from the beginning. If it does fall off, I'm going to credit that to not cleaning the dash with an alcohol pad to remove the trace amounts of Armor All.

So I recently got myself a 2004 Nissan Maxima.
This is what the centre console looks like stock
Anyways, when I bought the Nexus 7 I placed in front of the screen and it was a perfect fit. I decided to open it all up and move the screen to a lower position. (I lost one of those map pockets but whatever). Sidenote: on the left side of the picture under the steering column I tucked away an Avantree bluetooth module. Helped me retrofit the car with bluetooth audio so no wires
After all that I was left with this:
So i decided to install my N4 qi wireless charger in there. It's pretty ghetto really, I bought some cardboard, some felt and a pvc pipe for support taped it all together and:
Gave it power by soldering a micro usb cable down the back. Placed it in the huge space while resting the end of the pvc pipe onto an inner lip:
Best part is, my N4 fits nicely as well and because of the rubber lip I created to help the N7 slide in, it isn't free to move around.
When I took these pictures the soldering wasn't done which is why they aren't charging in the photos.
Anyways, thought I'd share, hope you guys liked it! Also sorry if this was more of a mod than an accessory but still
Let me know what you guys think!

I think its awesome!
Question though, how are you running Navigation with the Nexus 7? Are you tethering your phone to it? Or is it LTE?

There are lots of offline gps apps (navigon, sygic,...). And you can update the maps over wifi since the n7 is removable from his build carboard. No traffic informations I guess, but that's fine with me.
Very nice though. I wanted to do a thing like that but there are too many modifications to do on my '96 Peugeot 106^^
Maybe with a new car in a few years.
On my 2.3 device I had a "car interface", it's helpful for quick interactions. You might wanna look it up

iClever® IC-BTS02 Portable Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker Review

Bluetooth speaker is one of these accessories that you can find absolutely useless, but you will love it once you use it for the first time. It's a perfect "boom-box" for small parties or a nice gadget that makes your house cleaning less boring. Today I put my hands on one of the best cheap Bluetooth speaker available on the market – the iClever IC-BTS02. It's not a professional review, as I don't have the required hardware to measure the output or frequency. This "review" is more an opinion.
iClever IC-BTS02 is not a big device. The device can be easily hidden in the pocket as it's dimensions are 64.5x64.5x70.1mm. It weights only 261g, so it's not the heaviest speaker. In the box you will find a speaker and the AUX cable. There is no charger available, but you can use every microUSB charger available for smartphones. This small 5W does some really impressive job not only indoors, but also outdoors. It's loud, basses are great and the distortion level is very low, considering the size of the device.

The only flaw I have found is the speaker placement, as it throws the audio upward rather than spreading it around. The volume controls are also placed unusual, as you can find them under the speaker. The only button available on the front panel is the phone button. You can also control the speaker from your phone or tablet. Sound delay via Bluetooth isn't big, but watching the YouTube video without AUX cable makes it a bit out of sync.
The range of the Bluetooth is also good if you don't have too many walls in your apartment. I experienced some sounds dropouts when I was going to another room ~7m (23 ft away). My overall experience with the range was rather good.
Connecting the device to phone is a piece of cake. All you need to do is flicking the power button and finding the speaker in your Bluetooth available devices menu. Connection takes just a few seconds. Speaker is able to remember up to eight devices. You shouldn't have any problems to connect the device. It will connect to the last paired device available.
Pros:
price
small size
quite good sound quality
Cons:
signal can drop from time to time
