Found this on amazon looks pretty good and has good reviews but im not sure it will work as its sound comes from the usb port.
Anyone tried anything similar?
My guess would be that you could use the USB connection to provide power but not sound. It does seem to have an aux input so you could connect the TF headphone jack to that with a mini stereo to mini stereo cord.

Don't know about the z305 but I bought the logitech tablet speaker while it was on sale and it was sufficent but not as loud and bassy as the diamond mini rockers http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-MSP100B-Rockers-Mobile-Speakers/dp/B002JM1V78
The logitech tablet speaker is supposed to clip on like those z305s, but i'm guessing because its designed for the ipad, it doesn't hold as well as it should because the pads on the speaker are not contoured for the transformer.

On the front the pads and the clip is curved, and only the tip of it is coming in contact with the tablet. One final note: with normal laptops the keyboard half is usually heavier than the screen so the whole thing resists tipping even with a speaker clipped on to it, but in the case of the transformer both halves seem to weigh about the same to the touch, so be careful if you have that thing on there and you have it opened to a precarious angle, i've had to catch the thing as it almost tipped over from a slight bump more times than i care for.
i just read on a post about usb hosts that the sound bar z305 doesnt work through usb but there is a 3.5mm jack on it to connect it to the headphone socket.
not sure on sound quality but it gets good reviews.
looks ghetto, just get a jawbone jambox. 10 hours via Bluetooth

I'd like to find a custom-fit mount. I've found universal mounts to be horrible at best.
I'm tempted to take the myTouch 3G Slide Charging Cradle and mod the crap out of it to make it work with my HR window mount... or maybe I'll just put a giant two-sided sticker to keep this on the dash. I'm not sure if the bluetooth receiver is in the base...
sort of a car mount
I got two of these Akron holders.
amazon.com/gp/product/B00343295O
Arkon MICRO Universal Lighter Socket Mount with Micro USB Charge Cable for Mobile Phones and Smartphones (Black)
Not exactly a 'mount' but plugs into the charger and is adjustable. Works great in my truck and my explorer, especially when using GPS.
Sorry not enough posts yet to set a link.
I swear by PanaVise's "InDash" mounts. They're basically a bent piece of powder-coated metal, cut and formed for your particular car. It has holes in it for any AMPS compatible holder.

For the holder itself, I use a bracketron universal holder since it's relatively cheap and durable. For those who want one specifically for the MT3GS, ProClip makes two slide-in docks for the phone. One is just a plain cradle. The other is a charging dock that can either be plugged into the lighter socket or hardwired into the vehicle. I drooled over it, but I wouldn't spend what they're asking for any phone-specific dock that I probably wouldn't use in a year's time.
Thnks for the info guys I was also looking for a car mount.

I have not found a desent car holder.
Anybody find a decent speaker/dock system for the Gtab? Something like this:
http://the-gadgeteer.com/2010/11/15/jensen-jips-250i-ipad-speaker-dock/
We're not likely see anything like that for the g tablet unfortunately: there just isn't a large enough user base for mainstream accessory manufacturers to be interested.
Welcome to life on the fringes.
Funny, i was at Target thinking the same thing. I saw this same item and had hoped I could find some thing similar for the GTab.
I wish the basic dock had audio out. I was thinking about leaving the dock and a set of PC speakers here in my office. Not as elegant, but effective.
Get hdmi speakers.

I said the same thing a while back but found pricier speakers that used hdmi in the end.
Has anybody tried using some portable bluetooth speakers with the Gtab?
These look interesting. I'm not really looking for a booming system. Just want something I can take on vacation to enhance the stock, internal speakers.

Just ordered one of these:

Let us know how those Altec Lansings work. I'm curious about having a portable speaker system that I can take on trips as well.
Will do. In the meantime, here's the video that convinced me to give it a shot. The price isn't bad at all either - just $25 shipped.

Creative has a portable bluetooth speaker: D100
http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-D100-Portable-Bluetooth-Wireless-Speaker/M/B003N9SR00.htm
I have the Creative D200 and the Creative ZiiSound D5 which are both excellent.
I also use the Belkin stereo bluetooth dongle which works well:

That bluetooth dongle looks pretty sweet. Any complaints about the range on it?

Absolutely. There’s a desktop stand for charging and syncing with 2 USB ports and a 13.5mm audio out jack.
MSRP: $69.99

As yet there's no official dock, other than the keyboard one. And i doubt very much this other one that site mentions has a 13.5mm jack connection. However I'm sure in a few months some Chinese company will pump out docks on eBay, if Asus haven't by then.
There's an official "case". Looks like the original iPad case.
Lets you fold the cover several ways to tilt/display the Transformer

I might be interested in something like this even though I ordered the KB dock.
$70 seems a bit expensive for just a dock though. Was hoping it's be more than the $50 area.
I think he's talking about the desktop dock found here:

I think it is a really shotty photoshop job, the angles dont line up right with the transformer and dock
I am going to wait until i see it in person
I hope the dock is just simple, power and usb, but I doubt it, I bet it has audio jack and an hdmi jack too... that's why it's so expensive.
This is something I'll buy in 6 months to a year when I can grab it on eBay or something for the $40-$50 range.
I think if I was going to spend $70 for a dock, I'd just go all out and get the keyboard dock. Then you have portable power, you can change the viewing angle, and you'd get the keyboard as a bonus.
Like others have said....I'll wait for the 3rd party cheapies on ebay.
Asus Padfone is coming out & it is shown with a stylus so I wonder if
1.they have done some sort of software offering that might be available that can improve stylus use for us and
2.what their stylus will be like and if it is even theirs?
You can see it

It's probably just a generic bluetooth headset shaped into a case that doubles as a stylus. Even if it is compatible with any other device, I still wouldn't use it as it defeats the whole purpose of using bluetooth in the first place!
You use bluetooth so you don't have to hold your phone to your ear and/or to listen to music without headphone wires getting in the way, right? so why switch holding your phone to your ear for holding your stylus instead? While at the same time losing your ability to listen to music to boot (even if it's capable, the sound quality would be crappy without an ear bud!) And on top of that, what if you need to take notes from the call you're using your stylus to listen in on...?
It's cute, but I wouldn't trade my S305 or my LG Tone or my PX5's for it. Honestly Asus... -facepalm-
Personally I love the idea. For people who needs to use one they could always buy a proper headset. A stylus-headset is very useful if you are just playing/working with your tablet and you can easily take a call without needing to fiddle with a bluetooth or wired headset.
What I don't like about the Padfone though is how they are using a generic capacitive stylus rather than a proper electro-magnetic resonance stylus. That's pretty much a deal breaker for me. (Unless the Atmel Maxstylus turns out to work on it) Now we have the Galaxy Note 10.1 coming out with a proper stylus but I just love Asus's keyboard dock way too much. Decisions, decisions.

I tried out the Cheotech Wireless Headphones today with my Pixel. I charged the headphones before testing and here is my review.
What comes in the box:

1x - headphone
1x - charging cord
2x - other sizes for your ears
1x - pair of extra ear hooks.
Pairing the device:
The first time you turn on the headphones it will go into pairing mode. After you've paired it and want to put it into pairing mode, simply hold down the power button wait for it to notify that the headphones are one, continue holding the button and it will tell you that it is ready to pair. The headphones will appear as BH-003
Setup:
The setup on the Nexus Pixel and this headphone was simple - once it was pairing mode, I turned my phone's bluetooth on and waited about 10seconds for the phone to find the headphones and it paired and was ready to go.
Sound:
I played a few different genres of music - house, rock, rap/r&b and have to say that the sounds is clear. You definitely hear the vocals clearly( I was even able to hear the talking from "Give it up" by Pepper). Another big thing I noticed is it really pumps out the base if you your song has any bit of base in it. Some may like that, others may not. Just know that it will bump it regardless. I'm not sure about the noise cancellation with these headphones. I tapped my desk while playing music and didn't hear anything but that was also the case when I used some Shure Noise Isolation earphones.
Build:
The original ear piece fit my ears ok so I don't have any complaints but I don't have particularly big or small ears. It took a little bit to get the proper placement into my ear but once it was in there was a nice seal and it held in place. It's very lightweight and it didn't fall out when I moved around - though I didn't go any running with them.The earphones are rubberized so I'm guessing it is will stand up to sweat.
Overall, I'd recommend these headphones for working out - the music is clear but heavy base. The cord won't get in the way of your running or lifting. It's also nice a lightweight so you don't really notice it too much aside form the cord.
