Quick Look: MagNector Pogo Charging Cable For The Nexus 10

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Accessories, Nexus 10, Other Reviews, Reviews, Tablets

Since the Nexus 10's launch, users have been itching to make use of the device's pogo pins. No word has yet emerged from either Google or Samsung about the dock we spied last Christmas or the pogo charger many assumed was in the works, but in mid-December, a thread sprung up on XDA opened by a person who claimed to have the fabled pogo charging cable in the works and nearly ready for sale. After much hurried speculation, it turned out the poster was telling the truth – the MagNector pogo cable (from Town Communication) began selling on eBay, with an official web front following close behind.

ASUS Nexus 7 Desktop Pogo Dock Up for Pre-Order At B&H For $39.99 [Updated]

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Accessories, News, Nexus 7

It's been five months since the Nexus 7 went on sale, and just about as long since eager Android fans have been waiting to get their hands on official accessories. We've seen the first-party Asus dock show up time and again in various overseas web stores, but never actually go on sale. The wait might soon be over, at least for US residents: B&H Photo & Video has put up an online pre-order for the Pogo Pin dock for $39.99.

Don't start stuffing those stockings yet, Nexus 7 owners. There's no indication of when sales will actually begin, and we've been denied this particular dock many times before.

Leaked Slides Reveal Premium Nexus 7 Accessories: POGO Dock, Premium Leather Case And More Colors On The Way

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in News, Nexus 7

Since the Nexus 7 was originally announced, we knew that there were more accessories on the way. For starters, the device has four pogo pins that don't match any currently available accessories. Well, now we're getting a first look at the next batch of extras. For starters, there's a landscape multimedia dock that will be available for $49.99, and will be able to charge the device as well as transmit audio output via a 3.5mm plug. The slides say the dock should be available "Week34 (08/24)", which could mean on August 24th, or at least within that week.

If covers were more your thing, we're also looking at a variety of cases that aren't currently available.

Galaxy Nexus Pogo Dock Now Available From Samsung (For A Whopping $90)

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Galaxy Nexus, News, Samsung

The Galaxy Nexus launched with rather little accessory support from Samsung. Recently, they (finally) released a GPS mount, and now the pogo desktop dock has hit the store and is available for purchase. What's special about a pogo dock compared to a normal dock? This dock uses pogo pins - which match up to the three metal dots on the side of the GNexus - to charge the phone, rather than a normal charging port. You can simply drop your phone in, and when the metal dots touch, the phone charges - it's that easy.
