Hopefully more major manufacturer's follow to make better

That's pretty sweet. Thanks for the heads up.

Well haven't that one been available for quite some time now?
It's a couple of months since I saw it first in Fona (electronics store in Denmark)

Just a heads up if your thinking of getting the AS851 to sit your phone on the front mounted holder your in for a surprise unfortunately I have had this unit for 4 months now, whilst the unit is quite good for some reason My Xperia s and My HOX wont clip onto the unit and stay there, the USB port seems to be recessed into the phone a few mm to much for the dock to grad it properly, all 5 of my other Android phones are perfect but these two just wont play ball

Yeh reviews seem poor for it especially as it uses Bluetooth 2.1 and does not support APT-X, one of the reviews said sound quality was better through the headphone jack to aux jack, kind of defeats the purpose of just docking it....
Didn't buy one after reading them.

Yes just wanted a dock to charge my Andoid phone so was on the lookout as I didn’t want 5 different charging docks but I did want something better than just the cable charge method.

For me I personally think the sound is fairly good, lots of presence and quite tight base too and would rate it about 7/10 compared to sound docks I have listened to in the past, for the money its ment to retail for which I think is about the £180 mark I would defiantly stay well clear, but I was really lucky and picked it for £35 brand spanker from a guy who had been bought for his birthday present but unluckily for him he had an iPhone so it wasn’t any good … so he stuck it on ebay.

That was a great price so well done.

It is available on German amazon between 86 and 112 Euros

Here's an alternative if you're keen on apt-x support, and these appear to be of better quality in most specs, but you may question its price. I was specifically looking at foxL v2.2 Platinum Bluetooth Edition

Here's another portable speaker that supports apt-x. I don't believe USB docking would be possible ... yet or ever, but its another alternative to the wireless/portable speaker options out there.
