Samsung Galaxy Nexus Docks and Chargers Get a Proper Fondling, Prongs Put to Use
“He doesn’t know how to use the 3 sea shells.” – Demolition Man
Been wondering what the 3 metal prongs on the side of the Galaxy Nexus will be used for? We assumed accessories, but thanks to a series of videos out of MobileFun, we get to see exactly how those accessories will put those prongs to work. A new landscape desktop dock is featured along with a battery charger for those of us that are forced to carry backups because of LTE’s never ending thirst for juice. The portrait and car docks are also featured, which according to our sources, are expected to be at $59.99 and $39.99 respectively.

Whats the difference between the horizontal dock and the vertical dock. I can see that the vert is the HDMI dock but does it do HDMI out to TV or something? if so, can it do sound output too? I really prefer the horizontal one (first one) and was reading the comments on a different page for these videos. Some comments said sound is capable via those 3 (for lack of the technical term) charging dots on the side. is this true!?
