The price of this dock is way to high it should have around $30 and been out a few months after the launch of the N7. Not many users will pay $39.99 for this dock.

What functionality does the dock add besides charging and adding a different location to plug in head phones. $40 is steep for a new charger.

All I keep reading about it is that it's a "audio" dock. So does it just have the ability to transfer/play music as well as the other already mentioned abilities?

It allows you to hook it into your home stereo system for audio.

All you need is the audio splitter Y adapter cable.

About $3 anywhere.

Interesting, but not sure if that's worth 40.00

I agree. The only way it would be worth it to me is if you were going to use it to do some type of custom install in a vehicle.

One possible advantage is that it frees up the USB port for other use while being charged (e.g., watching a movie off a connected flash drive).

Unless I'm missing something, I see no option to "pre-order" the dock. All I see on the B&H site is an option to be notified when they get stock.

Google should have had at least the cases and other such accessories out the same day as the Nexus 7. I believe that Google can learn something from apple when it comes to accessories.
