When the Droid was first released, a couple of interesting accessories from Motorola followed suit. I was dismayed to find hefty, $29.99, prices for things like the Car Dock and the Droid Multimedia Station
There’s no reason that some sort of magnetic, plastic dock should cost so much. And for what? The docks are nice, but hardly a necessity. In fact, if you want to mimic the Car Dock’s features, just press the Car Home app in Android 2.0.x. But until now, users haven’t been able to mimic the Multimedia dock feature.
I was simply browsing the top app list in the Market, when I found an unassuming app called DockRunner. DockRunner is a FREE download and mimics the Droid Multimedia Dock (shown above on the left). The time, weather, music, pictures, etc. are all displayed and the phone thinks it’s in the dock!
Save yourself $30 and just download this simple app. Desperately want a cheesy, clunky, plastic “dock”? May I suggest making your own? Stay tuned for a DIY dock later this December!
