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

This is bad timing to sell a used TouchPad on here.
Its all over that HP is selling them on Sunday night at fire sale prices, $149 for a 32GB.
I know you are not ripping anyone off, just thought I would point that out, that this weekend is bad timing for trying to sell one. Next week will be hard too, everyone knows about the sale, and will think you bought one at fire sale prices just to turn a quick buck.

According to one of the source from this thread, it would be at 7PM EST, which is 23h00 GMT. (+2 for your timezone)

That source has a countdown clock, which may help you figure out what time it will be for you. Look in the second post for the aptly named "Until we crash eBay" clock.

I'll be pre-ordering. and £100 for VAT unfortunately isn't a shocker. don't forget, VAT in the UK is 20% on top of the base price.
but no gold colour and no dock listed to go with the 64gb tab

Both 32GB and 64GB are £550??? they made a typo or just want customers.
From experience I have found Clove are always more expensive.
Better off for it to be released and then compare between stockists and no doubt it will be more like £499 including VAT from the better stockists.
the 64gb comes without the dock. the 32gb comes with the dock
I have pre-ordered the 32GB version, hopefully the price will come down? If it is cheaper elsewhere can always cancel it. January is pretty far away..
not ordered or pre-ordered from clove before. do they charge your card up front but only once the order comes in?

My confirmation email states:
Your pre-order is much appreciated. As soon as we have more information about the final price, full specification and expected shipping date of your goods we will contact you. Please be assured that payment will only be taken after those details are confirmed.

Guess that could be a little vague on when they charge you. I did Google it, and other posts have said they don't charge until it is ready to ship. Only way to be sure would be to ask Clove.

yeah but then add on import duty to that when it arrives in the UK and it'll probably figure out about the same.
I always figured it would work out a bit more than £499 anyway.
I'm not going to preorder it at a £50 premium over what was previously announced... going to wait to see what happens at other stores first.

You wouldn't pay import duty when getting something from Germany as its in the EU.
Tis on the amazon Germany website and in gold (or should I say bubbly colour) at 600 Euro which would still be cheaper than clove, though I have registered my interest with them!!
I have a mate who can speak German visiting tomorrow so will get him to check out the webpage and not rely on google translate lol
Today Clove are taking pre-orders for the champagne gold TP.
I wasn't picky yesterday so pre-ordered a grey one, today I'm in a fussy mood so have fired off an email to them asking them to amend my order to the gold one.
I have pre-ordered phones from Clove a couple of times in the past and they've always been honest with the price and availability. If the retail price is to be £499 in the UK I expect the price to come down before launch day and that is what they'll charge - or refund the difference.
Oh yes, one suggestion - select Royal Mail Special Delivery in case of a Friday dispatch so there's the chance of it being delivered on the Saturday. I left the option as Citylink when I pre-ordered my HTC Desire when my mate selected Special Delivery for his and he got to play with his phone 2½ days before me (once I'd got home from work on the Monday).

Just a heads up to people in the USA that have been looking to buy the Huawei Ascend Mate 2! Beginning tomorrow, Friday, August 29th Fry's Electronics stores will have the HAM2 for $279 and that price will be good until the following Thursday. You can buy in-store or order online and get free shipping.... not too shabby!

Also, please be aware there is a mis-print showing the device has Android version 4.4.
I ordered one
I was a little on the fence about getting the Mate 2 because I have preordered the Samsung Note 4 (the pen, 4K video, high rez screen, etc) plus I was hoping to get the Mate 7 but with all the confusion about frequencies and availability and Fry's lower price I figured I would take a chance. I was torn between the white and black one, the black one seems to have better back side gripability but I went with white because it looks a bit more cool and "happier."
