Accessories Atrix dock to retail for $60?

[YouGotRedOnYou]

I just saw this posted on BGR, but didn't see it here, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

Thanks to several leaks, we have a pretty good beat on what Motorola’s ATRIX 4G will retail for — $150 — and now, according to some new intel, we’re starting to get an idea of what the handsets accessories could cost. According to a page posted by online wireless retailer*Fommy, the ATRIX’s HD multimedia dock — complete with HDMI-out and three USB ports — will set you back a very reasonable $59.95. If earlier rumors about the ATRIX*4G’s laptop dock turn out to be true, you can get yourself a 4Gish, dual-core, super phone complete with a multimedia and laptop dock for around $360 on-contract. While that isn’t a small amount of cash, it is much cheaper than purchasing a smartphone and netbook with the associated wireless contracts separately. What do you think? Do any of you plan on*purchasing*the ATRIX*trifecta when available?

That price doesn't seem to bad, I mean for all that it gives you plus the fact that it comes with a remote. Honestly wish there was a version that just had audio out and charge.

I wonder if the HDMI-out port on the dock is full HDMI or mini like on the phone?

If I had to guess, and judging by the photos, it looks like 3 USB, and one mini hdmi

If the prices turn out to be correct there's only a $10 difference between the HD Multimedia Dock at $59 vs Standard Dock at $49. So is there anything the standard dock allows that the HD dock doesn't? I definitely want an HD dock for my main TV and also want a dock for my bedroom night stand but now at these prices I'm thinking HD dock in both places and that would allow for video out through the HDMI to my bedroom TV.

Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something, but to me I don't see myself ever buying just a standard dock given the price between both being almost the same and the additional functionality you get in the HD dock?

If those prices turn out accurate, I don't see much of a reason to get a standard dock instead of the HD dock, they both charge and do the clock function, the HD dock just has more connections. If however amazon or somewhere deeply discounts the standard to 20-30, i might be swayed to get a standard for a location i don't need video/usb

Thanks, my thoughts exactly - just wanted to verify the dock functions.

I don't even plan on using many features of the HD Dock, I'd probably use it as a standard dock but for just $10 more, I'll definitely pay that just to know I'll be able to if I want.
