Nexus 7 Docking Station Scheduled To Be Available Next Month

One accessory that always seems to be absent from the Nexus line is a quality docking station — Galaxy Nexus owners know exactly what I’m talking about. With a couple new Nexus devices now on the market, the question is raised once again: “when will there be a docking station for my Nexus <---- input nexus model here ?

Well, we have a bit of good news for Nexus 7 owners concerning an official docking station. According to a tipster who gave Android Central a heads up, the Japanese ASUS site has a Nexus 7 docking station listed for “early December.” The dock features a microUSB port for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting to an external speaker.

The dock lists a price of 3,480 Yen (about $41 USD) and is accompanied by a few low-quality photos. If the price is correct, that’s not that bad a deal for an OEM tablet docking station.

There’s no guarantee it will be available in the U.S. come next month, or at all for that matter, but we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

    No HDMI output makes this less appealing to me…..especially when I could buy a cheap MHL adapter on Amazon to get video and audio.

    I’m looking at my N7 now and if I orient it horizontally, I can’t see anything to dock–the micro usb and headphone connections are at the narrow edge of the device. How would this connect? Unless ASUS is making a different version of the with connectors along the long edge, I can’t see how this would work.

      The dock uses the 4-pins on the side of the display…

        Thanks. I took my Nexus out of its case and saw the pins. Hadn’t noticed them before. Now it makes sense.

    The official nexus dock doesn’t work with the official nexus case?!? There are no holes for the pins in the original/official case!
