Nexus One Car Dock Spotted, Looks Awesome!

When I heard the Nexus One Car Dock accessory was coming I wasn’t at all surprised – the Motorola Droid had the same thing and it became necessary since Google Navigation was featured on Android 2.o. But I just watched the Nexus One: Day One video and… guess what was spotted in it? The Nexus One Car Dock:

That isn’t ANYTHING like I expected. At first glance I thought that metal rod had a different phone – not the Nexus One – attached to it. But after closer examination it seems the Nexus One Car Dock features a suction cup on one end, a swiveling Metal Rod that moves in any direction connected to it, with a “frame” on the other end to which the Nexus One “snaps” in.

I’m hoping the suction works well and frame holds the phone sturdily. It also appears as if the metal rod MIGHT be telescopic, allowing you to pull the nav unit closer towards you or push it further away, depending on the preferences of the driver and the specific vehicle. I really like that idea/concept.

Here is the video – fast forward to 1 minute and 9 seconds in to see the glimpse screen-shotted above:

So Google… when can I buy this, buddies?

Any of you Nexus One fans seen the video below of the creation of the Google Nexus One? Well, keep your eyes peeled because they give you a shot of some already available, and, hopefully, soon to be available accessories. There appears to be a dock with a slot to charge a spare battery also what looks like it could be the car dock.

Shall we hazard a guess as to when we can expect to see these new Nexus One accessories?

For those of you who are Nexus One owners out there, your long awaited accessories are now becoming available. Head on over to the Google store and check out the new Desktop Dock.  For $45, users get the dock as well as a 3.5mm RCA audio cable so you can listen to your music through your stereo.

Once you place your Nexus One in the dock, it immediately opens the clock app. Similarly to the other media jacks, you’ll be able to set alarms, play music, check weather, and watch slideshows of your photos.

Unfortunately, this is solely a media dock and the user manual shows that you should not connect your dock to a computer since it does not transmit data. So who is ready to order up this sweet dock for your Nexus One?
