Per information I received today

As you can see the BlueDock™ has morphed through a robust Industrial Design Phase to come out in a very sleek form factor. Its look and flexibility are very different then what is currently being shown on the Synosphere Website.

The product can be described as an “Intelligent Docking Station”

The new design has a interchangeable pocket which allows the BlueDock to support different devices or if you choose to upgrade your PDA the BlueDock will work with a new pocket inserted. At launch time several different PDA vendors will be supported

The BlueDock will support PPC2003 edition, Older Handhelds can be upgraded to 2003 for a nominal fee from the Manufactures website.

Features

10/100 Ethernet connection

USB port

SVGA monitor support (800X600)

SD Slot (Not SDIO) For your mobile Hard Drive needs

Limited quantities will be ready for release in Q4 (Calendar) of 2004

Will be launching its Partner Program very soon via its web site. www.synosphere.com

I dont know much more other than what was sent to me about this product but I am pretty excited to see how this will work!!! Great idea and concept..

Why in the world is Synosphere using USB 1.1 ports instead of 2.0???!!!

Please clue me in, Dave. Thanks.

Just looked at Synosphere's revised website http://www.synosphere.com/. This redesigned Blue Dock is super. I can't wait to get one.

I would like to buy one at a local retailer, do you think Fry's will have one by Christmas?

Yeah, whatever. Synosphere is now owned by iBiz. Remember them? They promised a laser keyboard and never delivered. They are also under investigation for mismanagement, so I don't expect this idea to become anything either.

I cant comment on inventory since this unit is still in development. We are just getting an exlcusive inside look at the product.

Blue Dock is not blue anymore. Also, will this site only get limited quantities or does that apply to all retailers?

Yeah.. Looks cool just hope it comes out. When it does we have been told we will get the exclusive review. Keep posted to the site.
