Default [Q] Home dock?

I like the clock function when docked - the problem is there is no home dock yet. Or is there, and I just cant find it?

I noticed the new myTouch has dock connectors on the side, which would hint to it being available. The G2, on the other hand, does not. Perhaps through USB connection like the myTouch 3G?

The Galaxy S was advertised as having a nice dock, which never actually came to be. The lack of docks, especially with these nice Android dock modes, is extremely disappointing.

Man, sometimes I really regret not owning a Nexus One.

I just made the phone open the clock app when I'm plugged in to power using tasker.

I liked this feature from the blackberry lol

There will probably some docks. I'm guessing seido is working on one. It shouldn't be too hard since the microUSB is on the side you would dock it on. Don't need any connectors or anything.

Pretty well, no problems with it so far. I have a few options set up already and it's working quite well. Including wifi when I'm near an AP I'm familiar with (home and work).

I'm not sure how a dock would work, I don't remember seeing contact points like they had on the Bold 9700.

Not to hijack this thread, but I have it set to show the Clock App when I plug in the USB cord (whether it be USB from computer or from the wall--you have the option to choose one, the other or both).
