Mobile Devices
Many mobile devices feature a dock connector. The simplest form of the dock connector today takes the form of a simple cable with the dock connector on one end and a USB connector on the other. This cable only has the USB signals in the dock connector, but is sufficient to synchronize and charge the devices. At the other end of the spectrum, dock connectors are used to completely merge devices into a variety of accessories, both mechanically and electrically.
Because of the popularity of mobile devices, many third parties have used dock connector interfaces for accessories. This includes many variations of external speakers, including stereo systems and clock radios. Automotive accessories for the mobile devices are numerous and include charging cradles, FM transmitters for playing audio through the car's speakers and a full GPS receiver. There are also original and aftermarket cables with dock connectors for direct integration with the car's audio system and controls.

Famous quotes containing the words mobile and/or devices:
“From three to six months, most babies have settled down enough to be fun but aren’t mobile enough to be getting into trouble. This is the time to pay some attention to your relationship again. Otherwise, you may spend the entire postpartum year thinking you married the wrong person and overlooking the obvious—that parenthood can create rough spots even in the smoothest marriage.”
—Anne Cassidy (20th century)
“So that with much ado I was corrupted, and made to learn the dirty devices of this world.
Which now I unlearn, and become, as it were, a little child again that I may enter into the Kingdom of God.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
