Official Galaxy Nexus Accessories

---

Mobile Fun have some images of the official accessories - including a HDMI Dock!!! Apparently they will have videos of these accessories on the page in the next 10 mins

Samsung Galaxy Nexus HDMI Dock EDD-H1F2BEGSTD

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Vehicle Dock - ECS-K1F2BEGSTD

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Holder And Battery Charger EBH-1F2SBECSTD

Samsung Desk Stand for Galaxy Nexus EDD-D1F2BEGSTD

Why is it the screen mounts are always so expensive? I want one but it costs almost as much as I paid for my navman sat nav.

Google need to release an update before these accessories hit the market.

As it stands you can only use MHL in landscape mode, yet the HDMI dock is in portrait.

And the Desk Dock is in landscape when you can only use portrait home screens at present.

Quite a big oversight.

Have you used the docks? No? Thought so.

You don't know what happens when the phone is docked. For all you know, the desktop dock could enable landscape home screen only when docked, much the same way that landscape home screen is enabled when plugged into an HDMI TV.

Until people have these docks in their hands, no-one can say.

Is it just me or do none of these accessories make any sense?

MobileFun says the HDMI dock can sync and charge. Sync with what? Using HDMI, the USB port is in MHL mode, and won't be able to do USB transfers. Sync using wireless? Well, we don't need a dock for that...

Also, the dock is portrait. In ICS, connecting to an external display forces the device into landscape. So how are you going to control the phone? I guess you'll need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

For the landscape dock, MobileFun says "Unlike other docks, the geniune Samsung Desktop Dock for the Galaxy Nexus has been designed to be used in both portrait and landscape orientations."

What the heck? How is that thing going to be used in portrait mode? There's no way it would even be able to stand on its own when you rotate it 90 degrees. What the hell are they talking about?

Last but not least, neither the landscape desktop dock nor the vehicle dock allow access to the power button. Also they dock in opposite directions, the landscape dock has the pogo pins at the bottom, the vehicle dock has the pogo pins at the top.

I don't get it. Is this all supposed to be some kind of early April Fools joke?

The dock has built-in buttons.

50 pounds for charging dock? Are they crazy?

Agreed. What a big mess.
