Exactly. You can’t make form fitting accessories for devices that have a 9 month live as flagship when the replacement is COMPLETELY different.

Based on posts and interests on this topic not many agree with you. I’d gladly pay $20 to charge my Nexus 10 quickly without having to fiddle with a USB cable. In fact I’d buy 2. One for my office desk and another for my bedside table. Whoever brings this to market will make plenty of money.

Japanese electrical outlets are very similar to US style. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#JIS_C_8303.2C_Class_II_.28Japanese_15.C2.A0A.2F100.C2.A0V_ungrounded.29

Because the truth of the matter is, the vast majority of Android users won’t pony up the $$ to make accessories, etc… profitable. Coming from a BB to a Bionic, I didnt really notice as Moto makes a bazillion accessories for their phones (which can be had for decent prices on Amazon vs the retail rape that verizon dishes out). When I switched to a Gnex, I felt the pain…then I saw the light. Apple fanbois will shell out whavever mfg’s ask for accessories. We, on the whole, want a bargain. Bargains and profitability are counter productive to one another. So unless we start shelling out $20 for a proprietary cable, or $40 for a case….we wont get accessories. This is also compounded by the fact that our devices are not all the same size/shape.

The car dock uses the pogos, and with 2 seconds of whittling will work with the LTE nexus. Poor machining on the hole for the volume rocker is to blame…otherwise it’s a stellar accessory.

Yea, I was using that as an example of Nexus accessories that never appear.

Pogo dock for the Galaxy Nexus LTE? Been a year since its release and I don’t see Samsung doing much of anything for it in terms of accessories moving forward.

Completely agree. Pogo pins have been a mainstay on Nexus devices since the Galaxy Nexus, yet accessories are far and few in-between. I’d like to know why it’s taken this long for any bit of evidence of a pogo-pinned dock for the Nexus 7 to show up, especially with how well it has sold worldwide.

If Google was smart they would stick with this hardware form factor with their nexus brands. Only then will we Android users start to see an abundance of Accessories like the iPhone users do.
