Samsung Galaxy Note


Smart Dock Multimedia Hub
Compatibility: Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S IV

Your smartphone just got smarter. Introducing the new Samsung Galaxy Note II Smart Dock, the revolutionary new way to convert your mobile phone into a mobile office. Connect an HD monitor via the HDMI port and share a presentation with a client, or just watch a favorite video in your hotel room. Tired of typing on a tiny virtual keyboard? With three built-in USB ports you can connect a full-sized keyboard, USB mouse and an external storage drive
 
It's a pretty good piece of kit the Smart Dock, couple of limitations in the software that aren't ideal, but all can be worked around quite easily with apps. Look forward to using my SIV with my dock.

This is a video I did with the Note 2 and the Dock, little sample of the sorts of things possible:

 
Nice review now I want it even more! I hope I can find it for $50-$60 instead of $100 though.

Do you know if you can use an Xbox 360 controller or how would I play a game if I did not have anything but a mouse and keyboard?
