I've noticed there's a few cheaper DK30's, there's a fulfilled by Amazon one for £23 delivered and a few on eBay for £25 delivered. My concern is I know there's cheaper non-official docks out there and although the ones I'm looking at on ebay/Amazon are claiming to be official, they may be fakes. Has anyone ordered a cheaper DK30 recently and was it as expected? I might be worrying over nothing but thought it worth checking first to see what others thought.
Thanks,
John

This is the one I bought
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290988627774?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Its legit. Sony branding, sony tag on the USB cable.
$27 USD including shipping... that sounds about what your pricing is.
They're probably not fakes but for the price you're probably better off buying two aftermarket ones and still have change to spare. I got one of these and it's pretty good. Only gripe is that the charging time is quite slow via the magnetic dock. But it's nice how it comes with a short micro USB cable as a pass through in case I want to plug it in for a faster charge or plug in my SmartWatch 2 to charge at the same time.

I came across an add for the Sony Tablet S that I thought I should share with some folks who might be looking for a deal.
Sony Tablet S (32gb)
Sony Tablet S Cradle (A/C not included)
although it says that the A/C is not included, I think there will probably be an ac adapter in the Sony Tablet S Box... I remember I purchased a different bundle that included the tablet, a cradle, and an ac adapter, and i ended up with two AC adapters because one came in the box with the tablet, and another came in a box by itself.
in any case, it's 479.99 after the advertised checkout-coupon here's a link:
Tigerdirect.com Sony Tablet S 32gb + cradle
Pretty spiffy deal wish mine came with a cradle.
I'd guess the ac-adapter that came with the tablet would just plug into the back of the cradle.

yup. the 32gb tablet alone sells for 499.99USD on the sony website. so really, you're getting 20 bucks and the cradle free.
the power port for the cradle is the same a the tablet. that's why i thought it was odd they would send two.
I think I lucked out when I bought my 32gb because I was able to get the Sony employee sale price of $399 end of November. But here is a little incite on that... If you have a local Sony store I would ask them to hook you up with the employee price. My understanding is they are able to do that and as I was told a sale is sale towards meeting their goals. If you haven’t bought one yet and are considering I would give it a shot. It worked for me and just like I had nothing to lose so do you. All you have to do is ask for it.
I'm a little pissed that I Purchased the Sony Tablet S on 1/2/12 for $499 now it's $399.
Best Buy policy is only 15 days return so I'm stuck at paying that price.
I wonder if Sony have some kind of refund policy just like Apple when they dropped the price with the iPhone.

Bummer, but not much you can do now. Enjoy your tablet.
I lucked out and got one from Best Buy at the $399.00 price with $75.00 off for being an open box. All of the accessories were included, just no box.

Nice, that's almost half of what I paid ($499 + 6% tax). Only if I waited one more week.
I paid 429 for my 32gb about two weeks ago
I bought mine (16GB) from tigerdirect for $316 shipped, refurb.
Advertised as open box.
So far so good.
Yea you hear it... Everyone looking to buy the official HP TouchPad case, this seller on ebay is giving it away for $7.75 brand new and will ship it worldwide for cheap.
I bought it from this seller two weeks ago for $15 plus $12 of shipping to Italy and I have just noticed he took the price furthermore down, so I thought I should probably share it with you guys.
This is absolutely the best price eva for the official case.
Hopefully this thread will help someone getting it for a really wicked price.
This is not the leather case, just the cheap sleeve, this sells for $20 or less here.

Oh damn it ... I thought it was the leather case.. Grrr!!! However I got the leather one for $15 brand new.. However its still a good price isnt it??
I've been using a Verizon branded leather tablet sleeve on my Touchpad for a while. They were originally produced for the iPad 1 and there appears to be a huge surplus of them as they have been showing up from various websites for cheap.
Just ordered one!

That's pretty ridiculous... Sorry, man.
Mine came today. Great deal. It was still sealed with the Lenovo hologram tape.
It is the dock with power supply.
I'll second that. It's the original dock... I got mine in, today, as well. I can't believe it's selling so cheaply!

They won't even ship to Germany :-(
It's back on Amazon today at $22.32 (i.e.$17.99+$4.33 shipping) from onSale! Decided to get a second one: The charger alone is worth it at this price...
No HDMI connection
Got mine yesterday after an "out-of-stock" delay. There is no HDMI connection, I will probably hack mine to see if HDMI is still available when docked. Also ThinkPad Tablet has to be removed from any type of cover/case to fit, very close on the sides and back. Nice power supply and 2 USB connections with the one on the side of the TPT still exposed for a total of three, have not tried to use them (running ICS so my usb connections are pretty much useless right now anyway).

No HDMI is not available when docked.
HDMI not available when docked?
Sadly, you are correct. There is a header for HDMI on the board of the dock but there are enough missing components that it is unlikely that merely adding the connector would enable HDMI. Pretty much makes the dock useless except to quickly charge your TPT. Maybe they are coming out with an updated version which is why these are so cheep, very unlikely, but I can dream. There is also a lot of post production style RF shielding inside this thing; looks like somebody upset the FCC.
Feel free to disassemble yours.
Just did, see my edited post.
Its only $13 today but sadly won't ship to Aus either.
thanks for this. I had one for work but wanted one for home as well. Good deal.
Just saw a seller on eBay offering the dock for US$21.99 shipped.
Search for item #150860380689 or NEW Lenovo (0A33953) ThinkPad Tablet Dock with 65W AC Adapter.
I'm not affiliated to the seller...just passing along some information.
The product page is confusing but I took a chance on it. Reading the one review, it seems that you really are purchasing a charging cable and not a dock, despite the product image. Even with the shipping cost, the cable is about $5 so I figured it was worth a shot.

Update: LOL! Right after purchasing, I came here to post the link. Upon testing the link after posting, the price had changed to $5.06 with free shipping. Interestingly, that's the same total price it was when I ordered it with shipping.
Not that it really matters, but that's not a genuine cable.
The genuine ones are not available and look at the 'manufactured by'
Again, doesn't really matter.

I agree. The genuine ones are about 5-6 ft long. All of these so called "OEM" cables are usually 3 ft long.
But they should work fine anyways. I bought 2 of them on ebay for $4.
Anyone bought any accessories from here? They all are so cheap while providing something very useful.
I really need a magnetic charger
http://m.geekbuying.com/Search/Index?keyword=Sony xperia z2
Well I did not buy from that particular site but a very similar site called dealextreme. I got an android stick from there and it works petty nicely. I think egg also offer a magnetic charger too. One thing to note tho. It takes forever to the package to arrive. I got mine after a month but that really depends on your country of origin.
Will check out out dealextreme. Did you mean 'newegg" when you said egg? Neweggs doesn't ship internationally so its not an option for me.
I recommend aliexpress
What have you bought from Aliexpress?
