I've looked into docks similar to that, but never got around to buying one.

Any of the Apple guys ever used on of these?

I'm not a fan of the airs, too much $$ for it being a novelty. That dock is hot shit!


I'm over christmas, the list of people to buy for has to have broke 30 by now. Between all of the babies, step families quasi-in-law family and great grandmothers that are still fucking ticking christmas is kicking my ass this year.

I think next year I'm just going to give each a raffle ticket, "oh you won? rad here's your Wii congratulations grandma"



edit: sorry for the rant, I thought I was in the BS thread and not the cellphone one.

I found that company after I bought my MBP last summer. They still don't have a unit for my model. Great product IMO, but keep in mind it doesn't include cables etc.

According to this video, it looks like it includes some cables but not all. You need your own power adapter and monitor adapter.

Yes those were the cables I was referring. That appears to be the video Len showed me last summer on the product. I just want them to release a version for my MBP pronto.

Quick question. Once you root your droid can you go back to factory settings? And doesn't rooting void your warranty?

Lucas...it's super simple to revert back to a factory ROM.

Dave, this kid needs help. His droid is a POS and verizon/ATT won't replace it.

Yeah, I don't normally spend THAT much on anybody but they don't have a lot of money and refuse to use credit so I doubt there was going to be a television purchase in their near future. My sister got a bluray player for her and I picked up that BBC documentary called "the planet earth", it's suppose to blow that Disney one out of the water.

So yeah it should be pretty good.

Running a unstable operating system is a solution to a great operating system?

Rooted my VP's DroidX last week. Just got off the phone with him now -he's driving back from NY with his family. Currently 2 itouches, 1 laptop, and 1 ipad all tethered to his DroidX and running perfectly.

So I think I'm gonna switch from AT&T to Verizon. I'm thinking about maybe a Droid X, or maybe holding out for the Incredible HD in a few weeks.
