Default Any dock for Galaxy S?

e.g. Speaker dock, normal dock for charging,etc

Because i see a lot of dock on iphone, but no dock for android phone?
It would be very useful.

Trouble is, with the USB connector on the top, the normal 'drop in' operation of a dock is not workable.

This is not a dock, but a homemade stand

a bit expensive, and bulky for the car, but it works

There are proper Car docks too (which are very expensive I feel), but they also apparently change the phones profile when you plug it in (so goes to navigation probably). http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-s-of...eamer-1197250/ Probably also comes with car charger and such

I probably would consider the car dock personally if the GPS fix in september DOES actually work.

The home and car dock apps are now released for Samsung Captivate. So I would say there's a good chance the the official docks will be coming out in a month or two.

To download the apps from the market, you need to have a Captivate phone. Good thing that there's work around. Download My Market from the market, launch it, set provider to US T-Mobile, and search for Samsung.

Is that a 3.5mm audio-out in the back of that dock? I wonder if you could output to both the 3.5mm on the phone and the dock at the same time, probably not but would be interesting.

What is the actual app called? Searching for Samsung brings up hundreds of apps.
