It looks the Kindle Fire is finally getting its own fair share of exclusive accessories, next in the list being the FireDock speaker dock from Grace Digital Audio. Not long ago, id America was spotted releasing a special Cushi cover for the tablet from Amazon’s Kindle family of gadgets.
Equipped with a semi-rotating dock, the peripheral sports a reasonably convenient and portable design. Not only does it accommodate the USB port of the slate, but it also shows off a slot to utilize the headphone jack. This one even allows people to charge as well as use the tab to play out music.
“Grace Digital’s design approach on the FireDock was to provide the optimal solution around clearly defined requirements of Kindle Fire users,” commented Greg Fadul, CEO of Grace Digital Audio. “There are hundreds of iPhone speaker docks, but there is no quality audio solution for the over 14 million Americans who have purchased the 7-inch Kindle Fire tablet. Grace Digital engineered the FireDock as a no compromise solution to enhance Kindle Fire’s multimedia offerings such as Netflix, Pandora Internet Radio, and Amazon audio books.”
The gadget features a couple of 3-inch, full-range, front bass ported speakers, plus a 16 watt class-D amplifier. The remote control is embedded with buttons for functions like standby, volume, input selection, bass, treble and mute. In addition to this, the bundle ships with a wall power adapter and an aux in cable for an optional secondary music source. Users can also pair it with separately purchaseable add-ons like an extra 7.4V/2200mAh lithium-ion battery, which should keep it running for about 6 hours.
The Grace FireDock price is $129.99. While the product page suggests the release date to be July 2, enthusiasts can register themselves to receive notifications regarding its availability.
