Google has already released a spare battery and a desktop dock, which we reviewed, for the Nexus One. There was talk when the Nexus One was released of rumors of both the desktop dock as well as a car dock. Well, the car dock is now officially available for order!
As we discussed in the Desktop Dock review, the three dock connector pins on the bottom of the device allow it to be charged simply by contact without having to plug in the micro USB cable, which allows for easy insertion and removal from the desktop dock.
Now, the official Nexus One updates blog is reporting that the Car Dock is now available for purchase online as well from the Google Phone site.
- Charges the battery (via an included 12V charger)
- Has built-in speakers and volume controls
- Loads the Car Home application upon docking
- Can be stuck to the windshield or dashboard (using an included adhesive disc)
More details on the Car Dock can be found in the Car Dock Users Guide PDF. It is available direct from Google for $55, not including shipping.
