The Google Nexus 7 dock will finally land in the U.S. within the next two weeks for $39.99, according to a 'reliable source' close to The Verge.
Past rumors speculated a January 10 release date, reflecting an early B&H listing, but the retail site has since amended its release schedule with an expected availability date of January 16, which falls in line with the source's information. In the U.K., the dock will be priced at £24.99.
The long-awaited accessory allows users to simultaneously charge their Nexus 7 tablet while propping the screen up to watch media, from movies and TV shows to youtube videos. Measuring in at 280g, the dock sports a 3.5mm audio-out and a micro-USB port, and doesn't require users to use cables to connect the accessory to the Nexus 7.
The Nexus has been praised by critics as one of the best 7" tablets around, with a tremendous value for its price to boot. Check out what consumers and critics have to say about the device here.
