Iconia w510 keyboard dock

Question

I'm looking into buying the iconia w510 as its probably the only 10" tablet with a keyboard dock that doubles its battery life.  I work at a computer store and have played around with the tablet and I like it alot.  We have a sale going on the tablet but I don't want to buy it unless I can get the keyboard dock for productivity as it seems useless to me with out it..when I need to get actual work done.  I have been checking on the store periodically for the dock, but it seems like they are constantly out of stock on it.  Does anybody know when they migh thave it back in stock or if retailers are going to get it?

i have been using my dock for 6 weeks now.  it doesn't seam to operate longer than 1~2 hours before it needs recharging.  have done plenty of soaking, day long charges, power plan mods but still it leaves me a little dissappointed inbattery life.  it has difficulty just keeping the charge when not plugged in (less than 12 hours.

Micro USB and Mini HDMI seem to be standard connectors, it is the mutifunction connector on the bottom that I have not seen before and need to obtain to build a mobile slot (is a 12v supply so a car charger should be easy). Think USB may be the same as used by Samsung phones but need a female USB on other end.

The w510 is just a pc, with a reaally nice touch interface thanks to win8, but it's still a pc so yes of course you can use another keyboard on the usb port.

As for the connector, I think it's a specific one designed by acer, I haven't seen it on other devices before. it's the same as the power connector.
