Motorola DROID Multimedia Docking Station

| | Posted on


I really wanted this for my Droid, and its good quality. When you place your Droid in this Charging Cradle/"Multimedia Station", it charges you battery and magnets activate a Multimedia mode on your phone, allowing you to brows photos, listen to music, and work with your alarm clock right on your nightstand. Not owning an iPod, I can't tell you how much I love having all mp3's and so forth available right next to my bed. This is a lovely product. 



Pros and Cons: 

1) The magnets override your lock feature, which may be a security issue for some.

2) The Droid won't fit in the cradle with any kind of body armor/silicone/hard plastic case attached around it. You'll have to take this off when you want to use the cradle. 

3) The Multimedia mode has a built-in "dimmer" switch for night time use, but I personally find even that setting emits too much light in my room, and that makes me crazy. If you don't have an issue with things emitting light while you sleep, this is a non-issue for you. 

4) The cord that comes with the cradle is the same as comes with the phone- its VERY short. I had to use a USB extension cable to get from an outlet to my nightstand. 



I really like this though- the problems I have all me. 

1) Beautiful and compact

2) Easy to exit dock mode and access most other Smartphone functions.

Cons:
1) There is only one dimming level, which is still fairly bright in a dark room.

2) When the display is dimmed, there is little contrast between the numbers and the background, making the display hard to read. This
problem could be solved if the background and/or time coloring were customizable, but this is not the case.

3) When placing a call while the droid is in the dock, the in-call screen does not shift into landscape mode, making it difficult (but not impossible) to accesses the features such as the dial-pad and speaker button.

4) The buttons on the bottom of the screen stay illuminated, regardless of if the screen is dimmed or not.

5) It would be nice to change the widget buttons while in the multimedia dock mode. For example, I do not use the built-in android alarm clock (I use the app Math Alarm Clock), so I would like to have direct access to that application instead of the standard alarm.

6) Sometimes it takes a while for the weather to update. Importantly, the latest droid update mostly fixed this problem, giving me hope that other issues will be fixed in the future.

7) There is no audio jack to send music to speakers

8) Expensive (especially since you can make your own dock with multimedia mode easily)

  5. Total biaya untuk peralatan yang dibutuhkan untuk peralatan lebih kurang adalah Rp. Rp. 15.000.000,00 (diluar penyetingan apabila anda akan di setingkan ke pelayanan service computer, atau kepada orang yang ahli)  
B. Perkiraan Biaya untuk tempat. 
  1. Untuk 10 client dan 1 buah server biasanya dibutuhkan tempat sekitar 5m x 8m, dengan ukuran tempat 1 buah Client 1m x 1m, biasanya warnet yang nyaman tempat untuk client dibuat privasi dengan menggunakan sekat-sekat, cukup menggunakan triplek yang dibuat ruangan-ruangan kecil, dibuat lesehan saja dengan menggunakan karpet, serta di berikan bantal yang nyaman untuk duduk, beserta meja kecil untuk menyimpan PC dan monitor, dana yang dibutukan kira-kira Rp. 3.000.000,00. 
  2. Apabila anda sudah mempunyai tempat yang memadai gunakanlah tempat tersebut sehingga anda tidak perlu mengeluarkan tambahan biaya untuk sewa tempat, apabila belum mempunyai perkirakan lah dana yang disediakan tidak memebihi Rp. 10.000.000,00 per tahunnya.
       Jadi anda bisa menyediakan dana tidak lebih dari Rp. 30.000.000,00 (sudah termasuk penyetingan LAN dan koneksi internetnya).
      
    PERKIRAAN UNTUNG RUGI DAN BEP (Break Event Point)  

    Perkiraan pendapatan dari warnet dalam 1 bulan :

    Dari 10 Client dengan biaya sewarata-rata di Indonesia adalah Rp. 4.000,00 per Jam, kita asumsikan hanya 10 jamsaja rata-tata sewa per Clientnya (biasanya warnet buka 24 Jam), 10 client X 10Jam X Rp. 4.000,00 = Rp. 400,000,- / hari, total pendapatn 1 bulan kira-kiraRp. 12.000.000,00
    Jangan hanya melakukan kegiatan warnet saja, computer tersebut bisa dioptimalkan, misalkan cetak foto digital (dengan membeli printer foto), pengetikan, jualan makanan, minuman, dll.
