Slightly fiddly to use, Uses lossy Bluetooth, A bit expensive
It's about time Android got some of the accessory love iPhone owners have enjoyed for years. This Fidelio dock for Android owners will charge your smartphone while playing its audio output over Bluetooth. Thanks to its flexible dock, it'll take phones of ...
