I just notice that sears' (not sears outlet!) webpage for the g-tablet has a rebate for a g-tablet dock. There is no picture of the dock and no info about e.g. what outlets are availables, and the coupon is valid for Nov 25 only. The coupon is worth $20, so at least that gives us an idea what the dock would cost (to sears/viewsonic anyway!) -- not bad in light of the $15 estimate mentioned in earlier posts based on Chinese website.
Could you post a link?
I'm having some trouble finding this anywhere on Sears site.
(I pick mine up tomorrow and I'm looking for accessories!)
Thanks!

Straight from Sears' website:
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00382001000P?prdNo=1
Right under the list price there is a link for "Mail-in rebate" -- valid for Nov 25 only
Awesome - thanks!
I placed my order today for in-store pickup, so my receipt should already be dated 11/25.
So glad I came here looking for other stuff, and THANK YOU for pointing out what I would have missed!
Happy Turkey Day!

I wouldn't expect $15. I was told by a Chinese zpad owner that that one is a cheap knock off. No idea what the $20 is for, but I'm curious to see.
I had seen the rebate link earlier when I was researching the G Tab, but it is no longer there. They went to a sale price of $379.99; bought one....charging battery now.

I contacted Viewsonic, asking about an official G Tablet Dock, and they transferred me to what they called the dedicated number for the G Tablet (actually apparently a U S Merchants number). The person I spoke with said that the official G Tablet Dock is already available and emailed me an order form.
Any thoughts on this? This is through U S Merchants, (who must be the official distributor of the G Tab since their sticker is on the back of the tablet) but there is no real technical information about the accessories on the order form; whether it is just the Malata dock, or if it is actually made with Viewsonic's blessing specifically for the G Pad.
The G Tablet U S Merchants number is on the order form, so I may try calling again and ask for more details about the dock. Order form attached, hope this is helpful.

There is nothing GTab specific about the dock, its just the malata dock its funny that they are also selling the cheap no name case with keyboard, one would think if there is ever a custom made case/keyboard it would show up with them.
The $50 price is hardly competitive.

Can you point me in the direction of a competitive seller? Electroniccrap (out of stock) was selling it for $49 plus (from what I could tell) $9 shipping. The U S Merchants price includes shipping.
EDIT: The only other seller I could find is Ankaka, who sells for about $37 plus $8 shipping. Still about on par with US Merchants.

$44.99 shipped @ ankaka.
Its also $46 shipped @ merimobiles take an additional 5% off (welcome).
So this is exactly what I meant, they can't be competitive if they are offering the same (in fact even 10%-15% higher) price, not to mention the inconvenience of the ordering process (who is still using money orders/cheques), they will most properly end up drop-shipping it to you from Asia any way, just go straight to the source and order from one of the online retailers above and at least enjoy Paypal protection (just in case).
Most of the store are out of stock. You can ask them about this information. Malata's supplier decide to stop the DOCK'S production. But maybe some one have enough stock. They will resume production(or not) 1-2 month later.

I sell them through my eBay store but I only have 4 left in stock but I wouldn't say I am competitive on the price, however they are in stock in the US.
I only have the 4 plus I have 20 in route to me from China, but after that I'm not going to have any more to sell until Malata decides they want to produce them again. I would drop the price, but I don't want to sell out of them and not have any more to sell. :-(
I do have some news about a replacement dock coming out that is going to be cheaper in price. I will post more details in a new thread when this is confirmed, at the moment its only a rumor.

I'm rather glad I bought my now, if that's the case. The ethernet port on the docking station was one of the big selling points for me for the G-Tablet; there are times when I will only have an ethernet connection available and no wireless...

Same for merimobiles, ordered yesterday, received the tracking number earlier today.
I just found a nice stand on Amazon that should be combatible with both the tablet and dock. It's currently $15.46, but if you put in the code IPDIOOFF it will take $10 off, bringing it down to $5.46. It's fulfilled by Amazon. I just placed an order, so unfortunately I don't have first hand experience with the stand. However, for $5, I'm willing to take a chance. I tried to order a 2nd one, but it would only let me use the code once.
XDA Developers won't let me post a link to the product on Amazon. Just go to Amazon and search for HDE stand, or go to the post below mine; he posted a direct link. I believe for the code to work you have to choose DBroth for the seller.
Sorry, Deal is Dead
Thanks !!!
thanks !!! got one with prime 2 days shipping, nice price !!!

A very similar one on Amazon for UK customers:

Daedalus,
One of your previous posts on this type of stand got me searching for an identical one on Amazon USA. I came across this one and it happened to be on sale, so thanks!
No More Adjustable Stand

Hurry, says only one left.
For what it's worth (because it's backordered), the dock is now for sale at Best Buy (.com anyway). I'm waffling on the dock, but with my gift cards and RZ money, I can get it pretty cheap, plus I get a $10 gift card, so I'm probably going to take the plunge once it's in stock.
Amazon has it in stock now...

Thank you, gbcue. Contacted Amazon, ordered Dock, took out a free trial of Amazon Prime, got one-day service for $3.50 +/-, will cancel same within 30-days, might take a couple of days for delivery BUT THEY HAVE IT!!!!! Cancelled orders @ J & R and also Tiger Direct. Tiger has rec'd a shipment (much less than what it ordered), but it is going to take an unknown number of days for it to sort everything out and start shipping.
I'd grab the one from Amazon if I wasn't going to save so much from BB by using all my cards and points (good thing about being a tech nerd, a BB gift card is always a great gift!). I can wait, the dock is a luxury for my existing luxury

nowinstock.net
they can notify if/when something is in stock.
I pre-ordered the dock from Best Buy and picked ship to store, so there was only tax to deal with. That's fine, though, since I can just walk it back in should something go wrong with it. The biggest issue is when it'll ship.
According to nowinstock, Adorama has it in stock.
Amazon update
I checked in and verified my Dock should be shipped on the 10th.
HOWEVER, I also noticed the price was now $179. There are 4 left. The kicker is I got mine for the "standard" price of $149. This is from another private vendor. The private price has been steadily going down on Amazon. This is around $100 less that it had previously been, but still a rip off. I think mine is coming directly from Amazon, not through any third-party vendor.
They're back in stock, but not in any stores near me, so I can't use my promo coupons

Try this "Asus - USB 2.0 Docking Station"
It appears the dock is being carried in-store now -- every store near me has it. I've got some RZ bucks and a 12% off coupon (that includes tablet accessories!), so I guess I'll finally take the plunge.

Update 22nd June 2011
Ebuyer now put price up to £199.99 WTF
the price is still a bit steep for early adopters who missed the asus keyboard offer in April....
... it certainly is steep - BUT i got mine at the weekend - it arrived from dabs.com (also 99 quid) -after waiting 3 weeks for stock to come in.... it is awesome - totally changes how I can use it. Really great. There was a firmware upgrade as soon as I first used it which I've seen discussed on other threads.
I just need to find a decent folio case for the whole thing now . . .

yeah..agree the kb dock itself is awesome..and should be a must have for most TF owners....
the battery in the dock really makes it a life changer..
not really complaining about its price...it's probably the only thing that's priced close to its US version...was hoping asus can extend its early adopter offer a bit though..
I wouldnt pay that much for it tbh, lucky i got mine originally from asus at the offer price but sold mine as apart from the extra juice it didnt suit my needs after using the tablet for a while but it is a clever way of making it hybrid.
but thinking about it when the asus case costs 39.99 retail with pdair cases going for £60, yiou do get a lot for your money and it does not seem that bad of value
I got mine separately because I wanted the 32 Gig version which isn't offered as a bundle with keyboard which is odd to say the least.
As you say the battery life now truly incredible.
Just got my dock on order with ebuyer.
Do you get a separate psu for the dock?

How to pruchase a keyboard dock from the UK to Spain
I wonder if any of you lads in the UK can help me: I live in Barcelona , Spain and I ordered my TF101 from the USA, I will get it in some days. In the online store they weren't offering the keyboard Dock , and I have tried to order it within Spain but it seems here they only sell it bundled with the tablet (16 gb or 32 gb). So far I haven't been able to find a shop (offline or online) that sells them separately, I have been looking into the ones you mention here from the UK but so far they all serve UK residents only. On ebay there are only a few merchants offering it but far too pricey (the cheapest is around 140 pounds (besides with English/Chinese keyboard layout), I would like one with either English or Spanish layout, so buying one from the UK would be just as good. Can anyone suggests me an online shop in the UK that delivers to continental Europe? (apart from ebay and Amazon of course)
Many thanks in advance!
You could try Dabs.ie, they have some on order at the moment but should be the European arm of Uk based Dabs.com.

Thanks, but that is only for Irish customers, I found out they only serve UK and Ireland. But thanks anyway for answering!
Just checked ebuyer and they have 9 left but put 100 pound on the price. I bought mine for 99 pound on tuesday night and they are now 199 pound. What a scam unless it is a typo
Sears currently has the Dock. It's 149.99 plus tax and shipping. Cheaper than I found on amazon.com... which I usually buy from.
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00384015000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
If that doesn't work just go to sears.com and type asus transformer.
Shipping is supposed to be quick, within 5 days. If this helps... don't forget the thanks button.

Just FYI: It's not Amazon that's marking up the dock, it's other sellers using their storefronts. Saying that Amazon is selling above MSRP is like saying that eBay is doing so. In reality, both those sites are serving only as the listing and payment mechanisms for other sellers.
When the dock has been in stock directly from Amazon, it's at $149.
Yawn. Amazon meaning amazon marketplace. Ie the place the merchants sell their goods and are selling above list price atm. Sorry for the lack of specificity between amazon as a retailer and amazon as a conglomeration of multiple retailers. Commense self-definistration.
