[Q] Android Dock/Music Player

---

Now that Google's Cloud stores my music it would be nice to be able to do what Apple iPhone users can do ... dock my phone and play music through quality speakers.

Anyone know any products that do this?

(I don't want an Android Airplay solution as wifi will be connected to the cloud.)

You'll more than likely have to find any type of Speaker "docking" station that has a 3.5mm audio jack.
iPhones (until iPhone 5) all had the same charging/data port. There is no "Standard" port on android devices (although most do use mini or micro usb) and I believe those ports are unable to output "Sound"

You could always use BlueTooth... Spinnaker Bluetooth Speaker System

I'm not sure if this pretains to your statement but I have a Wi-Drive that I can connect to via WiFi and it connects to other WiFi sources via a bidge allowing me to use my WiFi for both connection to my Wi-Drive and the internet also. Maybe (I hope) they make a WiFi speaker system that also uses a bridge. Wouldn't that work?

I'd go with a Bluetooth speaker if you only want 1. I've seen a Phillips dock but it is essentially a Bluetooth speaker with a micro USB header to sit you phone on to charge. I wish there was dongle like Iphones have, would be great to be able to sit any android device on a dock and it work
