HTC Titan and Radar will have Dock Accessories

September 1, 2011 | By Surur

Engadget revealed at their hands-on that HTC’s new devices will have docks available as optional accessories, allowing the devices to charge overnight and be used as alarm clocks.

Almost makes one wish Windows Phone 7 hand a bit better landscape support…

YES! One more step in the direction of the Zune HD. Now they just need HDMI-out and the remote control…

And, of course, HTC will craft some landscape-oriented alarmy-clock app since Mango doesn’t do landscape but the dock does. LOL

It’s just the home screen that doesn’t have landscape support. Not everything needs landscape support. Mango has much more landscape support than Nodo. The things that really benefit from landscape, have it.

I do like this idea of this dock though. The phone is certainly better than first generation WP. But I can’t shake the feeling that WP is always one step behind Android in specs, and that’s not going to help a platform that way late and way behind Android. By the time WP gets qHD resolution support, we’ll see Android phones with 720p screen resolutions, and WP will still be behind.

M$ will offer, though a better integrative experience across PC, tablet and phone than Android will ever be able to.

Dock is ok, but I really like the kickstand approach. That way, if I am travelling, I don’t need the dock or my hands to hold the thing in landscape while I watch a movie or set it up as a night/alarm clock in the hotel.

Who cares about specs? Only this nerds who just want to keep fapping on useless specs when the software isnt even optimized.

I have an SGS and i always thought it was the best thing ever, until i used my Omnia 7. NOw i cant wait to get rid of it (waiting for whatsapp).

GODDAMMIT! WINDOWS PHONE WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANYTHING BUT WVGA, GOT IT! SO STOP FUCKING WITH PEOPLE’S HEADS AND GO BUY A FUCKING ANDROID PHONE. Sry, Engadget commenters pissed me off with their “4.7″ screen, awesome…Oh never mind it’s ONLY WVGA” WHY DO PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT SCREEN RESOLUTION? IT’S NOT IMPORTANT! God, pixel-junkies piss me off.

No, it really makes me wish HTC really thought out their execution. How about ensuring that all their WP devices have the mini-USB port at the bottom and that it docks in portrait view (just like the iPhone). How about they ensure that you can output audio coming from the devices through the speakers on the dock rather than merely for charging and alarm? Are these guys really thinking at all? Well, on the other hand, they are the only ones that have actually mentioned anything that has to do with a dock, something I have been shouting about since WP launched.

I agree with you 100 percent. In addition to your observations, I’d also say, what’s the point of an OS like WP7 that has such a dynamic presentation of information to the screen, yet you can’t set the damn screen to “display always” once it’s plugged into AC or connected via USB to your PC so you know the screen will not drain battery? No wonder people like Charlie Kindle resigned; the folks running this shit are clueless monkeys. And to be honestly, my patience has pretty much run thin waiting for these idiots to get a clue.
All there stupid “focus” groups and they still don’t know jack what consumers want. Look at Apple, they are not focus group driven, yet their products hit consumers with laser focus intuitiveness. I’m finally starting to believe they’ve lost this battle.

All you see is whiners and whiners. Please leave the WP7 boat and go to your 4-icon rows Os’es. And let the others who are more positive and dont make a big deal out of minor features enjoy their OS.

Yikes, these whiners really give me a bad feeling. All this hate should just go.

And another thing…

The side-entry charging port totally screws with the ergonomics of mounting the thing in the car: one more cord to reach around so you can manipulate the phone. That problem doesn’t exist with a charge port on the bottom.
