The FCC has just published a tasty little morsel of information regarding the much hyped Google Phone, which we know as the “Nexus One.” According to FCC documents, the Nexus One works with some sort of Bluetooth-enabled cradle/dock. The dock apparently supports Bluetooth EDR for wireless data transfers at speeds up to 3Mbps. It’s not clear if the dock will come included with the Nexus One, or if it will be offered as an optional accessory.
As far as what the Nexus One’s dock does exactly, we have no idea. Since the handset itself already sports Bluetooth, it’s probable that the Bluetooth radio in the dock will be used to control a home theater system. In fact, a “connection diagram of test system” shows the dock connected to a DVD player and a speaker, which makes a strong case for the Bluetooth dock being a multimedia portal of some sort.
We’ll have to wait for more launch details from Google before we know for sure what this dock actually does. But, if speculation about an early January launch from T-Mobile and Google pans out, we won’t have to wait long before the Nexus One’s massive 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, 1Ghz processor, GPS, WiFi and Android 2.1 operating system – all courtesy of smartphone maker HTC – get official.
