Does anyone know of a dock that is more than an alarm clock/charger? Maybe one I could stream music on, like a radio? With speaker(s)? Thanks.
Love:heart: the Droid...my first smartphone.. just learning to use it.

I have actually seen one at a website--- said it would work with the Droid. It had a speaker and charged it at the same time....
Also charged a Iphone and Ipod---- Wish I coul dfind that link again.
Found it--- Now it says it is compatible.... I dont want to be the first tester though.... :)
iLuv iMM173 Hi-Fi Dual Dock Alarm Clock for iPhone / iPod / 3.5mm port -TheCellGuru.com
Yea, that thing isn't worth it. Looking at the specs it just has a 3.5mm input jack. So youd need to plug it in through the headphones. No direct connecting to the droid through usb or what not. Not controlling it through the unit.

one solution for the audio in the "multimedia" dock is to just get an A2DP connector, I think they sell them for pretty cheap. The benefit would be you could hook it up to any stereo you wanted, not just whatever speakers come with most multimedia docks. Also you could put your sound system anywhere in your room for optimal audio listening, and save room on your desk or bedside table.
If you don't have bluetooth normally on, I think you can set a condition in Locale that it turns on when dock mode is activated by the magnet, and off when you remove it. Sweet solution right?
You can try using the Ihome speaker dock from walmart. Its usually under $20
Isn't that an ipod accessory? cool, if only the Droid had the overly large proprietary iPod dock connector!Quote:

Is that what you are talking about? It is clearly designed with the ipod in mind. I would love to hear about your DIY project to Dock, Charge, and get audio over USB with this, I would be impressed.
