We’ve all been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the illusive Google Nexus One Car Dock. It’s talked about since the launch of the Nexus One but never appeared. It was mentioned textually in the online user guide for the Nexus One and now it has a picture and information on the features it will provide.
Info from the online manual:
The Nexus One Car Dock is the perfect place to put your phone when you’re in the car. In addition to holding your Nexus One, the car dock also charges your phone’s battery, lets you use your phone handsfree, and provides easier access to voice and navigation apps.
The dock’s built-in speakers and volume controls also enhance the in-car music and media experience. And the Car Home app, which loads automatically, makes it easy to access Maps and Navigation, Voice Search, Contacts, and Music.
You can mount the dock on the windshield or dashboard, and it ships with an adhesive disc that lets you attach it to a textured surface as well. The dock comes with a charger to fit into your car’s 12V utility socket, and the holder can rotate for flexible orientation.
There’s a PDF file with more instruction about mounting and using the car dock. Here’s the first page:
So now at least we know what it looks like and how it’s going to work, all we need now is a release and some pricing information.
Check out the online guide on the Google help site and let us know if anyone hears of any release information.
