Google Releases Nexus One Car Dock
Through a posting via the official Nexus One Twitter google unveiled a rather substantial new accessory for their once accessory-lacking phone. The Nexus One Car Dock is now available through Google’s web store for the pretty hefty fee of $55. The dock features connectivity for charging and also sports a set of speakers for listening to your music on the go.
Now, I don’t quite see the point in attaching speakers to a car dock other than driving up the price, while at the same time I question the sound quality and volume of a pair installed in a $55 device. If you ask me, Google may want to look into producing accesories that directly mate the Nexus One media library to a car stereo. Google Car, anyone?
Similar to the Droid dock, the N1 dock will auto-launch Car Home, and other than the speakers, you can expect about the same features you would find in any other cell phone car dock. So, Nexus One owners, is this the type of thing you’d spring for? I have my reservations, but an option to bundle the dock with a new Nexus One purchase may sway some consumers.
