The 'Superphone' gets its docking station

Nexus One Desktop Dock

Three weeks after the launch of the Nexus One, the rumored desktop docking station for the phone is now available on Google Store. Google has also updated the N1 technical specs page to include the Nexus One Desktop Dock. The page explains the dock is a place to charge your phone and it can also works as a nightstand for your phone. Once you connect your phone in the Desktop Dock, the Clock app launches automatically, here you can check the local time and weather, set and clear alarms, watch a slideshows of your photos, play music and even dim your phone's display for nighttime use.

With the 3.5mm-to-RCA audio cable (included in the box), you can listen your favorite tunes from your phone just by connecting the cable to the dock then onto your favorite stereo system.

You can purchase this dock at $45 as a separate accessory form Google Store, or bundled with the Nexus One phone. To do this, just simply go to the store, click the 'Get your phone' button and then scroll to the 'Accessories' section.

If you want to see more images of the Desktop Dock, visit Yoshinari's flickr page.

HTC's HD2 capacitive stylus is now available on HTC Store

Hd2-stylus

Who said HTC HD2 can't use a stylus? Well actually it's true, because HTC HD2 is using a capacitive touchscreen, which means, it can only get an input from a change in capacitance, on this case an electrical charge in your fingers.

But that's about to change, as HTC just made a stylus that could work on any capacitive touchscreen device, like the iPhone, most of Android phones and of course the HTC HD2. This special stylus is now available on HTC Accessory Store for 17 quid or about $28. So if you want to try the stylus on your iPhone or Droid, prepare your credit card and order it from that store.

The Nexus One Docking Stations are coming

168569

After the release of Android 2.1 SDK to the public, we noticed that the new SDK also supports a new USB manager for the Nexus One. A source also said that this could either be used to backup your phone on your computer each time you connect, or use it as the usual USB drive to transfer files back and forth.

A more interesting info regarding this new USB manager is, there could be a Google Nexus One car dock which the Google Support page said this should be available very soon in the future. According to that page, the Nexus One will automatically go into Car Home mode when placed into the Car Dock.

Besides the Car Dock, back on December, Slashgear has posted a leak about the Nexus One desktop dock. While we're wondering when the Desktop dock or the Car Dock will be available, a question related with this matter has been asked to Google support team, and they simply replied,

 “The docking stations for Nexus One are not available at this time. Stay tuned though, they should be available soon.”

So there you go, we don't know when the docking stations for the Nexus One will be available, but it should be anytime soon.

4243362215_d370e21229_o

ZOOM is a device that works to keep your mobile phone on a wireless leash, and by wireless, I mean using Bluetooth wireless signal. How does it work? It's pretty simple, If you walk away from your handset or the handset is walking away from you (read: stolen), then ZOMM will sounds an alarm. But that's not all, The ZOMM could also vibrates, flashes lights and provides a sound for incoming calls. Yep that's right, this little device could also work as a speakerphone, so you no longer need to dig into your purse to answer a call, pretty cool huh?

The ZOMM is pretty small, no bigger than a typical car remote control & this device is expected to be unveiled at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) today. To know more about the ZOMM, read it's press release
