Hey,

I’ve found a better way of docking the Droid for free:

Here is my 3 dollar dock. I just flip it over for a quick charge or to connect it (waiting for a way to flip dock runner)

Here’s how I made a slick dock for 3 bucks. It lets me keep my case on and works like a champ. I have one at my home desk, in the bedroom and in my office at work. Spread the word! The only thing it doesn’t do is charge while on it but I would much rather have the case on it and I can charge it while I’m in the car.

It should really be common practice to display an app’s QR code (2-D barcode), or link to it, whenever talking about the app.

In the age of in-phone barcode scanners, leaving out the QR code is tantamount to talking about a website without remembering to link to it.

just got a droid today and was wondering if anyone has found a case that you can use with the dock. I dont like the pouches that clip on your belt i like the cases that are always on the phone.
thanks for your help

I just got the droid today. It might be a stupid question but how do I search for apps on the android market? I go to android.com/market and it only shows me the top rated stuff. It doesn’t appear to let me search for anything… Sorry, i’m a newby

Hey guys another cheap quick fix suggestion until or if you buy the dock later. Use a small “freestanding” picture frame. The larger ones are good for books too etc. too but I had one laying around the house and it’s a small one so it fits the Droid fine and they fold up. The are really cheap at a craft store or Wal-Mart might have them.

Ive been propping it up on a stack of books on my night stand and it works fine. I just let it hange 1/3 of the way off the books so the wire can hang freely. I’ll prob be getting the dock soon, but it works for now!

I also suggest getting the ScreenMode Widget. Lets you switch between sleep/stay awake quickly.

Maybe I’m the only one here…

The multimedia dock is worth the price. I probably wouldn’t pay more than $35 for it. Granted, through my company I get 25% off all accessories, so I paid $22.50 for it. But, it’s a good looking piece of equipment, charges the phone when I plug it in, and takes up much less real estate on my nightstand than most alarm clocks.

If you want to go out to your garage and slap together something that achieves the same thing, I respect that. I doubt it will look or perform as nice though. And is the two hours you’ll spend on that really worth the $30 (or even $22.50) you saved?

gadgets galor. i just ordered the car mount from vzw online (use promo code acc20) and an OEM moto p513 for 8.95 on ebay (free ship). i was going to get the multimedia dock, but now i have to choose between bedside, dockrunner and $30 that would prob be better spent on a decent case/holster.

while i love my droid, i don’t know about ditching t-mobile mid contract just to get it. the htc hd2 is coming out next year (too bad no qwerty). it’s out in europe on tmobile and there’s not much reason to think that they won’t get it when it comes here. of course sprint looks eager for it too.
that said, let the droidum continue.
