Microsoft ActiveSync is supported, but there is [...]

Google has been talking about accessories for Nexus One but there are no sign of them until now. Someone spotted an ad on youtube.  Guess what.  It is the “New Nexus One Dock” for USD45.  And it will charge the phone, plays photo slideshows, & more.
