Yeah, $25 isn’t too bad considering it’s 2amps and it’s not a generic one. Also, you get to avoid the shipping costs by not buying it from Google. Meh, I think it should be $20.

Not relevant to this, but I held the Nexus 7 for the first time. I must have big hands because I can palm it lengthwise lol. Still want one.

re all the “wah, no HDMI”, does the Nexus 7 do HDMI? I though I read somewhere where it does not have the necessary hardware.

re all the “wah, $40″: The micro USB ports are a crime. On both the Kindle Fire and my GNex they failed within a year. Now how does that $40 bucks sound?

And re the finicky charging in the video: It’s not me it’s you. I don’t have this problem, and you probably won’t either once you take the time to learn how to put the dock in and actually do the necessary config on the Nexus 7 *before* you put a video on the web.

Yeah, peace man, groovy.

Man– look at all the negativity. It just goes to show how the launching/handling of a product release can affect the feedback about it. Everyone with a nexus seven wants this dock. If they would’ve just released it earlier they would’ve had way more sales and not all the smack talk

Sounds like a glorified charger that doesn’t charge until you connect your own charger that you already have…

the failed Q thing had an HDMI out, but this doesn’t? No included cables either? for $40, that’s a rip-off. I don;t have a Nexus 7 but if I did, I would NOT be wasting money on this.

I think I’m going to wipe the device and see if that resolves anything.

Yeah, mine has pretty much sucked ever since the last update. Stock ROM. It used to last about a week on standby, now I leave it alone for a couple days and the battery is dead the next time I pick it up.

There was an official dock for the Verizon GNex, it just sucked – no pogo pins, just a holder. I’m pretty happy with my modded GSM dock, it’s “finicky” though.

Meh. I’m happy just using my cover that folds back into a stand. They really haven’t added any value with this thing, plus I’d have to remove my cover every time I wanted to use it.
