Is there a HDMI dock that will work with the G Tablet? Viewsonic hasn't released one yet.
There is one in existence, but only in China at the moment. Found this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7897273357
I also called Viewsonic CS last week and they said a dock is forthcoming, perhaps in a few weeks.
this will probably be the 1 of the first accessories that I purchase, really looking forward to this

I believe it's been confirmed that this dock connector is not the same as the iPod, PDMI, or Samsung Galaxy Tab connectors. It may likely be similar to the Dell Streak, however this has not been confirmed.
Cheers
The Streak connector doesn't seem to fit.

Charging Dock?
This is supposed to charge as well, right?
they should be releasing a proper one soon

the dock is only 15 bucks? (100.00元 = $15)
that is amazingly good.

Which means they will probably sell it to us here in the $40-$60 range even though it's about $3 worth of parts...

I was told by some guys in China who work on the Zpad that the $15 dock is a really crappy knock off. They will let me know when cases and docks become available.
Just got off the phone with customer support; they claim that accessories will be available towards the end of november through the first half of december. They also said a massive update is coming on november 22nd. Flash was December 19th.

Well, it's been speculated that the port conforms to the PDMI, There is a pin diagram wikipedia. I don't know if anyone has been able to try the Dell streak cable with the tablet yet, but it's been speculated that it also has a PDMI interface.

i think someone confirmed that dell streak cable did not fit.
According to that picture, it is NOT PDMI.
PDMI actually has 2 rows (sides) of 15 pins.
Also, PDMI does not have Ethernet, although it may be possible that there is a USB hub and Ethernet adapter in the base of that zPad dock.
(Good find, amathophobia)
BTW, I'm the one that originally theorized that the Streak was PDMI, and made the Streak PDMI <--> USB adapter. I have the PDMI pinout on my site.
Hopefully, I'll have my G tab latter today, so I'll revise this if necessary, but I'm pretty sure we know the answer.

This is very cool. Can't wait for those to get here....
The docking station made for the ZPad from China manufactured by MALATA may be the one you are referring too. Here is a link with several pictures of their docking station w/ the ZPad mounted. It looks similar to the one you posted. The connector layout and overall design of the ZPad looks exactly the same as the Viewsonic G Tablet.
What I really like in the MALATA docking station is their built in fan. There has been some discussion that the Nvidia Tegra 2 chip gets a bit hot and if you have the tablet on while in the docking station (perhaps viewing a movie or just w/ the power on), the Tablet should stay cool and never over heat. This is good (as long as it is quiet) since I plan to have the Tablet docked and always on using it like a bed side radio.
Not allowed to post the direct link as a new member but a search of MALATA ZPad featured at China digitalshow should get you to the page.
Any guess weather the MALATA hardware is exactly the same form as the Viewsonic G Tablet?

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find anything on it. I'd like to get a docking station, but more importantly I would like to have a cable that has HDMI out. This would be "just a cable", and I'd like it to not go through a dock. The reason is for travel. I can handle wrapping up a cable and stuffing it in a suitcase or something, but I don't want to lug a docking station around.
Anyone know if there's "just a cable" for this thing yet? Thanks.
I have seen this come up before and as I recall nobody knew of one.
Do you realize how small the dock is? It's < 5" long by 3" deep by 2" tall - very compact. Weighs a bit more than the stock power adapter, mostly because they added ballast for stability. It is very portable.
My recommendation: buy a dock and forget about obscure cables that may never exist.
If you check out the original thread covering the Zpad Docks you'll see that itSteve has been passing on details of the pin-outs to someone who was looking into making an HDMI cable. I haven't seen a conclusion to this yet, but if one does become available I'm sure you'll see it make a splash in this forum.

Use Search... I and others have posted much on this before. If there was a quick viable solution, the forum will be screaming with it as soon as it appears. Not any time soon unfortunately.
Power needed for HDMI?
I've noticed that without the power plugged into the dock, neither the HDMI nor the ethernet ports work. Wouldn't such a cable then need to supply power as well?
This would most certainly be a huge benefit. I plan on using my GTab for business as well as work. Would be great if a simple cable was available as opposed to the dock. I know the dock is small, but the inconvenience is still there.
There are times I have 15 minutes to get setup and present to potential clients. If I could just plugin a cable, it would be golden!!

Very interesting! Would of just flew by me in that aspect. If this is true, then we can potentially use the ipod to hdmi port that was made for the 4th gen ipods and iphones. Let me know how that turns out. We probably have to create drivers for it though.
"The Viewsonic Tablet also has a 30 pin iPod like connector on the bottom that's used for -- well, nothing at the moment. There is not even any associated cable in the box. It's not actually iPod/iPad compatible, and very sadly, it is not the new PDMI standard. Theoretically, Viewsonic will be coming out with cables and docks that break this connector out into HDMI, charging, USB, etc. Again, it's only theoretical at the moment, but the G-Tablet should be able to crank 720p HD Video out that port. Also seen at the left of the unit in the following picture is the tiny hole for the microphone."
According to
w w w . linuxslate . o r g/Review_Viewsonic_G-Tablet_Android_Tablet.html
**EDIT**
Checked and the ipod version is 30 pin also.... sooooooo i wonder if they line up with the ipod version. The above is probably stating that this has no drivers as of yet, but doesnt mean that devs cant attach a kernal that enables whatever pin to do whatever.
Or is there a certain suit that has to follow? like pin 1 (+ hdmi power) or whatever. Thanks
Just checked, I had one on me lol, it doesnt fit at ALL!!! sorry guys

Even if the connector fits, I'll bet big money the pinout is completely different. No big deal, I just need to find the mating connector. I can make a cable (would have to put an active chip in it to get HDMI output and find power on the connector).
People with a sansa player cable claim it fits, but I wasted $20 on a "sansa break out cable"from a company called Kinetica, but it does not fit......but it fits the I pad.....I told them about it and they claim it is different than than the I pad connector....I tried......
A really quick eyeball inspection seems to show the connector to be *very* similar to the apple docking connector. I'm kind of half-heartedly trying to fidget and see how the plug is modded to fit.
But above all else, I'm no expert. Just someone who wants to see if the plug can be tricked into fitting without wrecking my gtab.

If you don't mind shopping at AliExpress ..
Lots of accessories (including the HDMI dock,clip case, official malata case, wall charger, cooling pads/stands) has appeared for individual sale (ranging $25~$50 shipped).
Here is the link,
Enjoy.
new arrival: Fuse case black/brown: $37
White/Black clip case $58
Custom case with BT keyboard $85
Official case $38
Official wall adapter $23
Cooling pad with built in USB hub $40
Screen protector $14
HDMI docking station $48
HDMI cable $37 (according to steve it doesn't work)
Car charger $28
The good thing is with these available for single purchases, expect lots of drop shippers to put them on ebay (that most potential shoppers would favor over AliExpress).

Grrrr. For $10 more, I can have the dock. I just want the connector, so I can make a super multi-squid cable, so I can build a mount for my car.

If it works, I will be ordering a dock AND a cable from you.
Can you please take a picture of the connector on the cable? I want to see if they installed all the pins (to break out all the other connections). It would be greatly appreciated.
If both of those work for me, three friends will then be buying a dock and a cable from you, each

Anker also make cradles? find one on ebay, anyone ever tryed this?
oops, no permit to post outside links, see my attachments.
yeah, somebody know where to buy?
Picked one of these up for $14 on Amazon when I purchased 2 Anker 1900mah sensation batteries for my 3D. Works great, can't use a case with this though.
Bonus for me is that it can charge another battery while your phone is docked. I will note I have found using the original HTC cable and HTC usb wall adapter with this works the best. I purchased a 10' cable for my phone, and using that with the Anker cradle didn't really do anything, but the original cable and adapter that come with the phone works flawlessly.

I run MIUI so the dock program isn't installed, however I just tap the clock and it brings it to the picture you can see above. I believe if you're on a Sense ROM it will fire up dock mode. I actually had it plugged into my car, and started up Car Panel which was pretty gangster.
Overall, it's definitely nice to have while I'm at work during the week, but having to pop a case on and off all the time can be a hassle for some.
Otherwise it works great!

This is USB only I'm afraid. Since this is similar to Kidigi dock, Kidigi makes an MHL version of their dock but will run you about $49. You can find them on ebay. Hopefully Anker will rebrand one too for cheaper.

I go back and forth between a Platinum case, these cheap snap on cases from eBay, and some Argyle patterned gel sleeve I got at Radioshack, and none of them work. This dock was meant for a caseless phone. I can't remember what dock I was looking at but there is one that has a removable tray that you can take out to accommodate a phone with a case.

Thank you for the input. I guess I'll just pass on this for now.
Kidigi makes a dock that can be used with some cases.
Just received my 2 Anker docks and they are great for the price. Each kit includes a dock, a wall charger, and 2 USB connectors (one long for power, one not quite as long for computer connection).
Construction is solid and phone fits well. The extra battery charging slot is a little tight, but I'd take that over loose.
Phone does not auto-recognize that it's in a dock, but I didn't expect it to.
All in all, I think well worth the price (~$45 for both and free shipping).

I like the look of this thing and seems capable enough, but I hate the idea of anything like that connected directly to the phone that way. I have looked for micro usb 3.0 and micro usb 2.0 extension cables but i'm not finding much. And what I am finding is kinda pricey. Amazon has two, but reviews on one are iffy and there are none on the other. I did find this site http://www.usbfirewire.com/uextendmicrob.html , but i'm not sure these would work with the desktop dock kit.
Might someone have hands on experience with a < 6" extension cable (either male to male or male to female) that would work with this? Thanks.
I also found a coupon code for 30% off brando products, but I can't see where to apply it on their site or the worldpay site when you check out. Anyone have any idea how to apply a code for them?

Any reviews? It's nearly a month since your post.
I would also like a review on this hub. Looking to pick it up so I can take my phone around and play my emulators hooked up to a TV.
Desktop Dock Connection Kit
Hi everyone. I just recived my dock.
Unfortunately is MHL 1.1, so all you will have is 1280x720px on the screen. Also it lacks 5.1 sound support (al these features from MHL 2.0).
Works well, but you will see more detailed graphics on the Note III 5,7 inches screen rather than on an 46 inches TV Screen.
OTG Works nice (surprisingly, when you connect a keyboard thru USB, the note screen atomatically tunrs off to save battery and prevent overheating, very nice "hidden" feature from Samsung).
The construction looks cheap, the plastic hasn't nice finishing, but nothing too remarkable. The usb female plugs are tight as ****, so be careful when extracting dongles (specially the cheap ones) because you will left the half of the male conector inside the dock.
Feel free to ask any question or test to make.
Regards

Thanks for the review! I really wanted to get one of these, but maybe I'll wait till a better one is out.
Has anyone come across a good Nexus 6 Desk Dock yet? I am a developer and like connecting my phone to my computer on a dock when I program so I can send an app to the device without the cables getting in the way or touching the phone. I had one for my Note II and while it looked crappy, it got the job done. I don't need anything fancy, Universal works, too as long as the phone is in portrait mode and the cable can be reversed.
I came across this:

I think I'd like to get something a little more secure, but this would probably work well for me anyways.
Sorry... *Not Qi... Long day. Tired and mixed up the wireless techs in my typing...

Connector isn't facing the right way. Its not going to work with Nexus or HTX One. Thanks though.. That's on the right track!
I JUST ordered one on amazon. It's supposed to be really good and the looks are exactly what I was searching for. It's called Bracketron Nanotek Stand. Mine's the aluminum silver version. Weird how we are both thinking the same thing even though I have never really thought of getting one for any device before.
I found what I'm looking for... but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I guess the technical term is cradle.

Since it was posted on their site January 6th, I guess it hasn't made it out to retailers yet. The sell a universal one for the M8 that would work with our phones, but I'd rather get something that supports the device on the sides as well.
This dock is perfect! Has anyone been able to get it yet?

If you don't mind waiting, the same thing can be had for half the price on ebay. FYI I am using one as an iPad stand and it's working very well. Good thing is it works with or without case, bad thing is obviously you need to plug the cable in manually every time.

The only US distributer is Naked Cell Phone (basically an eBay store but they do have a website). I contacted them 3 weeks ago and they said 10 days they should be receiving them.... So that's 11 late now ?. I keep checking their eBay store daily to see if they get them in.
Sorry if I am dreaming
I need a dock or stand that can handle a thick case.
Size of Nexus 6 is 6.27" x 3.27" x 0.4" (159 x 83 x 10.1 mm), so it should handle 0.4" or greater.
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

I ended up getting that one. After bending to make room for a USB cable on the bottom and still allowing it to stay upright and not fall backwards, I still only kinda like it. It works if I don't have to touch the phone. If I have a button on the top half, it falls backwards.
Thanks. Do you remember where you ordered it from?

I got it from Amazon. Ended up buying the RND dock that recently came out on EBay. Gets here on Saturday.
I found this desk dock that looks like it would do the trick and it's cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Micro-USB-Desktop-Charge-Windows/dp/B00RWFVS1Q/
I don't have my Nexus 6 yet, but can someone tell me if or how this works with Daydream? According to this: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2818748?hl=en 'By default, your device may only Daydream when it is docked. If you want your device to Daydream whenever it is plugged in, make sure to set "When to Daydream" as "Either" or "While charging."'
Are the docks wired for the phone to know if is docked like the Galaxy Notes I have had, or is there another way? Are there special docks that enable dock mode for the Nexus 6? If so, I haven't been able to find any yet.
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMOBI4-2I...t=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item43d6b7daf6..
It's properly made for the Nexus 6 and fits perfectly. You may not want the landscape orientation but it works well for me.
This is the one I'm using: http://fuzdesigns.com/pages/EverDock
Not keen on universal docks
I have to say that I am not a fan of universal docks like the Ever Dock. The bottom of the N6 is rounded and the lack of support at the sides means it can wobble while plugged in.
Sooner or later this is going to damage the USB port.

They have a thicker rubber part you can buy. That plus the case on the phone means the phone rests evenly on the dock.
That makes sense. I hate cases so I keep forgetting that a lot of people use them.
Has anybody found one that activates dock mode for Daydream?
