Asus is finally gearing up to launch its Nexus 7 tablet dock, six months after the $199 slate launched in the United States. It’s set to begin shipping “within two weeks,” according to a source, and it’s expected to cost $39.99. Unless you live in the United Kingdom, where it’ll cost a whopping £79 (approx. $126).

Forget all the gadgets that you’ve seen coming out of CES over the past few days, this is by far the best you’ll see this week.

See it in action in Chad’s demonstration video below.

Pantech announced a brand new smartphone for AT&T earlier this week, and it appears the Korean manufacturer also has something up its sleeve for Verizon. The device you see pictured above is the Pantech Perception, and it’s set to make its debut this quarter. Like the Pantech Discovery for AT&T, we’re expecting a 720p display, a speedy dual-core processor, and indeed an attractive price tag.

Samsung has today announced the Galaxy S II Plus, a slightly improved version of its hugely successful Galaxy S II, which first launched in April 2011. The handset boasts a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and 8GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD card). The handset looks identical to the original Galaxy S II, which only makes us even more confused as to why this handset exists.

We’ve been itching to get our hands on the Pebble smartwatch since it first hit Kickstarter, but that wait will be over later this month. At CES in Las Vegas today, Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky announced that the device has now entered mass production, and that shipping will begin on January 23.
