Can someone watch these videos can answer a question for me? MobilFun Gives Us a First Look at Galaxy Nexus Docks

I'm at school and cant listen to the audio... does the desktop dock also charge the phone via the pogo pins?

The movie is pretty funny. It's about as off topic and crude as you can get. Kevin Smith is a huge Star Wars fan, so there's lots of references. Star Wars viewership is a pre-requisite!

But it's also got Matt Damon and Ben Afflack, and I have to say they are hillarious. Code 15 on the set means there a dead hooker in Afflack's trailer, stuff like that. Crude rude and obnoxious!

Spoiler

George Lucas gonna sue somebody! Hamill's cameo there is awesome. Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season... Yeah. Fun movie. That one and Mallrats are the two just fun movies in that series.

Here are some videos of docks for the Nexus.

I know we would all like to believe that our software updates won't be delayed by Verizon before we get them, but if this thing comes with VZW software out of the box it will be delayed until Verizon can ensure that their suite of crapware doesn't break on the update.

They go outa Dodge....

With the up-most humility and as humbly as I can put it ....... weren't some of, Err, Ahem! Cough! kind of off a tad?

I think that most, if not all, of these sources were right - at the time.

Even Kellex is saying that the release dates have changed many times. Can't expect them to predict the future, only to report what they hear.

FCC gets a visit from the AT&T version of the SGN?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Returns To The FCC, This Time Holding Hands With AT&T - Android Life: An Android Community Blog

This makes me very happy! I do not have anything against Verizon but I work in a large, spread-out building/campus with LOTS of interference. Cell phone reception is terrible unless you are near a window. AT&T is the only carrier that works well on site since they installed repeaters through out the site.

Now if we can only find out the exclusivity details. Does it really exist? LTE only? How long?

Is it me or are Moto's designs really lacking lately?

Well originally I said "Bigfoot", but I guess the Yeti is at least a first cousin?

Comic Book stuff

I give you number two,heres why. To have the power of thor,You must be worthy.I think that Clark Kent,Would easily pass the worthy part. Which inturn would make him Thor and Superman.

Spoiler

Actually, being worthy doesn't necessarily give you the powers of the thunder god. One has to be worthy to just be able to even pick up the hammer. Odin can bestow the power to select people he deems worthy. Captain America, for example, has lifted the hammer before without gaiuning any power from it.

 

[Crashumbc]

Actually quite the opposite.

The intent is that you'll be able to skim this thread far quicker for actual phone information, and not get bogged down with off topic chatter.

Spoiler

and it COMPLETELY destroys the flow of the thread, including being able to follow anything OT in a supposed "lounge" thread. Again just my opinion and I'll let it drop before I turn as black as han

Yes it appears so

Nice... you just keep believing every random rumor from every random person. Interested in a very affordable bridge that I have for sale?

You made you point days ago. No need to keep harping on the guy on every post he makes. If you have an issue with him PM him or the Mods.

I think Verizon's exclusivity window is closing pretty quickly. Their own fault.

I'd expect AT&T to get it probably in 30 days, if they are reverting back to the old FCC "rule".

I watched it, But i can not understand what he is saying.
From what I can say it is just a charging dock and a waste of money.

 

[OfTheDamned]

I can't figure out why this is a positive thing, unless they think that the Gnex customer demographic is vampires?

And what would be wrong with that?

[woodraskam]

I am thinking we could get the "Hide" possibly lifted, but I would like some help from others here.

I currently Try to quote any relevant info to http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/455326-pre-release-relevant-info-thread.html and I have no problem continue doing this. Any volunteers to help be "Curators" for the relevant posts?

I enjoyed skimming the OT chatter, but after the Hide mandate, I gave up. It was what made this thread so enjoyable (for me anyway). Maybe I'm just lazy, but maybe we can find a better way too.

 

[darejer]

Xyboard like Xyborg? The whole droid thing? Not sure where else they would get that from.

So has Superman,If you hold the hammer long enough Thor loses his power.

Which is maybe why initial pictures showed "Verizon Exclusive" on them, then the Exclusive was quickly removed.

What about the most important question....what is Android 4.1 going to be named????

2.0 and 2.1 were both called the same thing. .1 doesn't mean a new name.

 

[theotherrogue]

Received this from Verizon today... now this is just wrong.

Yup that was my first thought with the name too.

Yes it does. That HDMI dock looks awesome. Now you don't need to have an MHL adaptor if using that. Playing movies on my HDTV through that - heaven

 

[MMcCraryNJ]

I'm still amazed that Verizon has managed to snag an even worse name than Rezound with this XYBoard nonsense.

Spoiler

Seriously. You know some 45 year old single marketing exec probably thought of it and chuckled to himself of how cool and futuristic it sounded, and misspelled it because spelling things 2 teh xtreme iz kewl!

Perhaps there's an included xylophone app?
