Anyone know if the dock for the original 7 inch tab will also fit the tab2 or if there is another solution for this .

I know no one has replied, but have you found an answer to your question some where else? I am very interested to know!
No not yet, waiting on a seller on ebay to let me know if the genuine kits he has will fit, or if i am able to return it if it doesnt fit., will let you know what happens.
Cheers

Been told that no the dock for the original 7 inch tab or tab plus does not fit the tab2 , great shame as the only other option is the brodit holder, which i am not keen on. By the time i purchase that and the correct bracket for my car the cost will be over £50 which is way too much for a holder i can only use in one vehicle.
What about something like the Arkon Universal mount for you? I use mine once in a while, and it works on my Galaxy Tab and original iPad. Plus, its not tied to one device or one car.

How frequently do people dock their tablet in their car?
I suppose it would make a nice GPS, though i don't have data or teathering available for mine.
I just can't imagine what i would dock a tablet in a car for.

sygic also allows you to move the data to the EXT SD which if its that simple, why cant other apps allow the same

Using the tablet as GPS is great for long trips. Recently found an offline GPS app that is pretty solid (although it is a full download of any map, separated by state in the US, not sure worldwide): NavFree
I use Co pilot live.the whole us but its 1.4gb local storage

Absolutely. There’s a desktop stand for charging and syncing with 2 USB ports and a 13.5mm audio out jack.
MSRP: $69.99

As yet there's no official dock, other than the keyboard one. And i doubt very much this other one that site mentions has a 13.5mm jack connection. However I'm sure in a few months some Chinese company will pump out docks on eBay, if Asus haven't by then.
There's an official "case". Looks like the original iPad case.
Lets you fold the cover several ways to tilt/display the Transformer

I might be interested in something like this even though I ordered the KB dock.
$70 seems a bit expensive for just a dock though. Was hoping it's be more than the $50 area.
I think he's talking about the desktop dock found here:

I think it is a really shotty photoshop job, the angles dont line up right with the transformer and dock
I am going to wait until i see it in person
I hope the dock is just simple, power and usb, but I doubt it, I bet it has audio jack and an hdmi jack too... that's why it's so expensive.
This is something I'll buy in 6 months to a year when I can grab it on eBay or something for the $40-$50 range.
I think if I was going to spend $70 for a dock, I'd just go all out and get the keyboard dock. Then you have portable power, you can change the viewing angle, and you'd get the keyboard as a bonus.
Like others have said....I'll wait for the 3rd party cheapies on ebay.
Well I didn't want to spend $40+ dollars for a dock.
SOOOOooo...I found this one on eBay for $10 including shipping.
Got the Dremel out and VOILA, it fits. Doesn't automatically pull up
dock mode, but it does charge and I found the Dock shortcut...so I
have to push a button...oh well.
One day when I have more time, I'm planning on making it look better,
but it works for now...

FWIW, I was at a T-Mo store trying to use their "buy 2 get 1 free" promo, and the sales guy chirped, "we have docks and stuff in the back!" He came back, didn't have the desktop dock (which, from pics, will ONLY work without any cover on the phone), but had HTC's car dock ... and the dock had a sliding, Micro-USB connector, not the ExtMicro USB connector the Amaze has. It didn't look like the phone would fit with the D30 cover I'd just bought, so with two strikes against it I declined.
I just use an Elago M2 stand and charge the phone from a nearby PC or USB AC charger. On the go, I use a Cyanics "Rabbit mini" folding stand. No dock necessary. (And I use Llama to fire up the dock app, which frankly is kind of useless to me.)(Yes, I know, the Dock app works in landscape but the home screen doesn't ... but when we get ICS and -- I hope -- Sense 4.0 the home screen will switch to landscape mode.)
Hey guys! I just bought a Palm Folding Bluetooth Keyboard for my Note. I thought it would be the perfect companion for my Note especially since I have a case with a kickstand. Do any of you have one? How well does it work? Mine won't get here until next week so...

How much?
I bought it used for $29.99 + $5.00 shipping, they seem to be MUCH more expensive everywhere else on eBay.. funny I believe these were cheaper before the iPad came out and "Tablets" became popular.
The issue with my by keyboard (not palm) is that every time I connect it makes me switch to the Samsung soft keyboard. Total pain.

My Moto BT keyboard switches the phone to Samsung kb also. It must be either 2.3.6 or TW doing it, rather than our hardware. But it is a pia to switch back every time.

have the same one, but branded HP. It works well, i wrote a guide somewhere here (topic titled "just got this for my note!") the only thing is, the note wont stand up in portrait mode of the stand, and to make it work in landscape you have to clip off the two protruding tabs on the flip up stand.

Mine no longer does anything when I press and hold the BT pairing key in the top left; oddly at first at did give me blinkies and my N7 saw it, but had trouble pairing. I've tried numerous batteries and even voltage tested to make sure they were good.Anyone have suggestions?
Hello.
I was thinking of buying a tablet, but since I bought the xperia s phone, I am thinking if it is possible to use the hdmi out of the phone to a larger, portable monitor and use it as a tablet.
Do you know where i could get a lightweight monitor with capabilities of hdmi in so I can hack it into a diy "tablet".
I am considering to use the display only for output i.e no touch screen, although that would be good.
So basically you're looking for a battery powered TV with HDMI input ? something like this
Well yes,but in not that price range
I am thinking of composing one with various components from tablets, but I don't know how a tablet or laptop monitor can be connected to an hdmi adaptor and work without the use of a motherboard or a graphics card.
I don't see the point of a larger display just to connect to your phone considering that it is possible to get a 9.7" IPS screen dual core android tablet for under US$250.. Check pandawill. Look for the Amlogic -MX chipset or the rockchip RK30XX series.
Heck, they even offer ICS to boot.
I dont think you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for, I but I have an idea for you to consider. The Morotola Atrix has a LapDock accessory. This is basically an 11" screen, a usb keyboard / mouse and a huge battery all rolled into one. Someone on the forum has taken the rear apart and it is basically just a micro USB and micro HDMI cable. He plugged his Xperia in and it just worked. Phone will not charge off the battery while the HDMI is enabled, but everything else is fine.
Now, these devices retail for about £300, but recently 2 retailers in the UK have been selling them for £42 and £48, probably because the Atrix is outdated now.
I very nearly took the plunge myself, but I already have a 14" laptop and an iPad

Something to consider.
BigPhil this is exactly what I was looking for.
Since I don't want to spent much money in buying a Windows tablet now, considering the windows 8 tablet release this year, the Morotola Atrix LapDock would do the job.
Do you have any links for the £42 and £48 UK shops?
Sure, but it looks like both offers have ended.

Worth checking that site periodically
Edit: I have just checked eBay and there are loads £40-£75 on there. Good a place as any to start, perhaps pick up a case at the same time.
Umm... this one ?

How well could you fit an S into the Lapdock? Any S users have one?(Pics pls).
At that price its well worth it.
