Well, looks like China is at it again. they now have a speaker doc on ebay with a plug for power and usb ports. I guess take a look and see what you all think.

I hope this at least helps some one out or someone has already bought one of these and can comment on it.
clicking on the link I just get redirected to the eBay main page .....
Looks fairly cheap. Just a powered usb hub with a 3.5mm jack that runs to speakers inside. Plastic arms wide enough to universally accommodate any tablet/phone (maybe). pretty sure this wouldn't power the TF, and the speakers probably wont be worth the $20. good find though, I'm also interested in user review if anyone snags one.
Yep, says its universal and Supports Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101, ACER ICONIA TAB W500, ACER ICONIA TAB A500, iPad 2, iPad 1,etc,all 7''-10'' tablet PC so clearly wouldn't charge the TF which would be the only reason to buy IMHO.

Does anyone have one for sale? Looking to purchase one, but the ones on www.merimobiles.com won't ship until 02-14-11.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865038 Maybe you can give a PM to it2steve.
I'll second that suggestion: Steve will set you up, no messing, no mystery, no ridiculously long waits.
Thanks for the help.
I bought from Steve 2 days ago, and he shipped it with tracking number 3 hours after I placed the order. I'm really looking forward to seeing that dock soon =D!

Looks like they are in stock at Merimobiles and there's a coupon to get them down to $42.50 shipped.
Can you share the coupon, if that is allowed here?

Found it over at Woot, so just in case I'll just link to the post:
http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=4401810
Did you get it yet? If so, what do you think?
just tried my new dock
I ordered the gtablet dock thru merimobil, it arrived 20 days later.
Packing was great, overall I think merimobil did a fine hub.
The dock is nice looking and is pretty heavy, perfect to support the gtablet.
The gtablet powercord plugs right into the dock and charges the tablet well.
The USB and he HDMI ports do not work for me. I am using tapntap lite rom and have not spent any time looking for settings.
HDMI line for Malata T2

HDMI is just for Malata T2 PAD
I don't believe anyone's confirmed this but will the official Asus leather sleeve/case work for the tablet + dock? (I'd post the link but it won't let me at the moment)
I asked Asus directly and they claim that it doesn't work according to the "product manager" but I am skeptical because it is listed as an official paired product with the Asus Transformer on the Amazon page.
Thanks in advance!

Well for one I dont think the sleeve is leather, I dont think it can be used with the dock either. It's just for when you have it undocked
Someone posted pics of one they had got in their boxed bundle (lucky sod, i didnt get one ). It showed that there was only one opening, and that was a speaker side of the case poking out. So, no it won't work with the dock.
There are cutouts for:
Rear Camera
Left side volume up/down and power
Right side Headphone, microphone, hdmi
There are also holes over the speaker area on both sides.
the USB proprietary plug is the only thing exposed on the bottom of the unit. The keyboard dock latches are not exposed.
hey guys I think you guys are confusing my post with the regular Asus Sleeve.
If you look on the Asus Transformer page on Amazon it shows you some suggested accessories.
One of them is:
ASUS INDEX 10-Inch Netbook Sleeve - Black
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RL8UAM
are you talkibg about that? i dont think that designed specifically for the tf. i think amazon is simply making that reccomendation...since when docked a tranformer probably has the same formfacotr as regular asus netbooks

Yeah that's the one. Okay so as I thought. Probably not worth trying then as the Asus rep said it won't fit.
I know its been discussed, running out the door asap though and have an expiring coupon at newegg that I may use to buy the dock.
Have we heard if the 201 dock will work with the tf700? Might buy the dock an the 201, and if the tf700 kills it just swap the tabs out later and keep the dock.

Unknown, but from the Infinity topic, it sounds like each tablet will have it's own dock.

Wow, that stinks. I was under the impression that the dock would be interchangeable. Also from all the videos that have been posted, it looked like the tf201 dock on the 700.
I was hoping to do what the OP posted.....facepalm...
When the 700 was first announced they definitely said it would use the TF201 dock. Given the fairly minor differences between the Infinity and TFP there had better be a good reason why if not.

Ya, I specifically remember them saying when the 700 was announced during CES that the 201 dock would be compatible with the 700.
Yea at this point i am not sure anymore. I may sell my dock now and just get a new one when the Infinity comes out.
Well I missed the cutoff for that coupon before I settled on the dock, picked up some random things. I certainly hope, for their sake and the consumers, that the docks will fit both models. No sense in re-tooling AGAIN unless there is a major overhaul going on.

Asus also stated the same 'aim' with the original transformer keyboard dock. I can only go by what Asus have said about the new models on their facebook page, namely that none of them would be compatible with the existing Prime keyboard dock. But I suppose we'll only know for sure once the Infinity model is physically available.
Robert
From the videos that I've seen it seems like Infinity should fit in the existing Prime dock.
i remember reading somewhere that asus did say all docks will be interchange able with later models
they said this with the TF101 dock
has anyone given that a try yet?
Video of the 700 with the plastic strip on top, he was careful not to say the Prime had crappy wifi.
Comparison video, He mentions a better antennae design, Headphone jack is moved and a couple of other things as well. It looks the same thickness as the Prime, but you can even see in this video the Prime has a more washed out color appearence, just look at the clouds on the 700 compared to the 201, 700 looks a lot better.
Not sure if this is the right area to ask but...
I've got a gray 32gb wifi tab I'm thinking of selling in the near future its pretty lightly used and I was wondering. What you guys think its worth with the below accessories?
I've got two cases and the HDMI dock and mini HDMI cable plus a nice 9footish data cable
The dock is a combination of the 7.0 HDMI dock and the less useful 10.1 "media" dock so its a real HDMI dock for the 10.1

I'd say the tab is worth about $250-350 (unless you have a transferrable warranty). The accessories, unfortunately (and this is a mistake all tech owners make when trying to resell), are not worth anything unless your buyer is really interested in them.
Does the origami-like Smart Cover from Asus for the Transformer Prime works/fits on the Transformer 300? The dimensions of the two tablets are almost the same, so I think it will work... Can anyone confirm this?
interesting cover never seen it before. seem out of stock at amazon and others. do they still make it anymore?

I buyed one on Amazon Germany...
The smart cover fit on the screen an you can put it in the Dock connectors on the Tablet, but it doesnt hold solid on the right Dock connector, so its very easy to pull the cover out of the Connectors. On a Youtube Video with the Transformer prime the Guy hold the Smart Cover and the Tablet hangs on this. With the one i had, the tablet falls down.
In don't know if the Problem was on the Smart Cover or the connectors on the Tablet.
Anybody using this? I seen it at my local Office Depot, and it did fit the TF300T, but I wasn't quite sure about using it until I seen some reviews.
I purchased the cover only to return it. Only 1 hinge would stay connected as mentioned in other posts. I returned it and am now waiting for a new case I purchased on Amazon.
