Looks like the long awaited Nexus 7 Audio Dock might finally be seeing the light of day...in Japan anyway.  The video below was made by an anonymous customer who claims to have purchased the dock at an unnamed retail outlet in Japan.   The corny overly dramatic horror movie music aside, the video shows the dock, which really just let's you stand your Nexus 7 on end while charging and also provides an audio out to hook up a pair of speakers.  Apparently retail stores will have this on sale in Japan starting tomorrow but there's still no official word on if this holds for the U.S.   Anyone seen one of these out in the wild here in the States?

Some outfit in California has them on preorder for delivery on or after 25 Dec.

They are currently shipping or taking orders in Japan and Norway, according to the thread over at XDA

Cool! But I have to say that was painful to watch. My dogs went on high alert with the sound on.

Thinking about it.. This would be great for my karaoke setup! How does the audio out work? I use my headphone jack now and have to prop the Nexus up in its case. I wonder if the sound quality will be any different with this setup.

I have not seen ANY specifics other than NO cables were included.
