These days official accessories always tend to crop up during the product launch or shortly after. When I say crop up I mean they appear in some promo material and then NEVER appear in the public domain. Take the fabled wireless charging pad for the Samsung Galaxy SIII which they flaunted last year at the huge press event in London, that wireless charging pad is STILL not available.
Well I thought it would be a similar situation for the Nexus 7 Audio dock which we saw in some leaked material ages back. Well it seems that Asus UK have added it to their website today and you should soon be able to order one.
Update – These docks are now available to order with a 14 day wait. So sort of in stock!
The price on the website is £24.99 which has about £6 postage on top.
The dock has pogo pin connection and round the back it has a Micro USB socket and the 3.5mm Audio out socket. Personally I am quite looking forward to getting one of these as it will work nicely in my kitchen with some separate speakers.
Here is the product image from the Asus UK Shop, pretty uninspiring stuff!

Uninspiring indeed. If that is what it looks like then I guess they have done the bare minimum. They could have shown it with the Nexy7 docked and maybe with some speakers next to it too. I guess Asus make PC type speakers?
Would have been better with a HDMI out but still WANT one anyway!!
Ordered last night when stock was showing. Managed to use my £25 discount compensation code for buying the Nexus early before the price drop. Code should have expired end of Dec but it deducted at checkout, so cost is £6.01 for delivery. Delivery time approx 14 days, fingers crossed.
Received the dock today, very nice bit of kit. Easy to drop the nexus into unlike my ipad 2 dock.
Glad I only paid £6 thou, I don’t think it warrants £30 with the postage. It doesn’t sync with the pc over usb its only a charging dock with phono out.
