Nexus 7 dock and covers leak, promise high style in small sizes (update: source goes down) -- Engadget

A $50 pogo dock and a $40 leather case coming in late August. Can't wait.

Darn I was hoping for HDMI out.

I can't believe that I wasted $20 on the TPU case when I could have had a $40 leather case lined with microfiber.

I don't get the point of the HDMI deal....

I am getting the dock as soon as it comes out! I was hoping for one, I love the clock function for the alarm!

I saw the dock on the AC site and I want one too. I bought a nice TPU case from Amazon for $5.00 but that leather one looks like it will be pretty nice.

Sorry but for $50 I expect the dock to add something my tablet stand does not. I just can't understand why people don't expect more for their money. All this bloody thing does is relocate some jacks and they don't even include another cable.

Is there any official word on what these pins do? Just power not video out?

The dock's only interface with the N7 seems to be these pins, and it offers both charging and audio. We've already heard that the N7 supports audio via USB, so I expect it has the same function as the microUSB connector - charging and everything supported via USB. Not sure what (if any) video options there are via USB.
