What is the best music dock out there for a Nexus S? I don't see a lot of great Android docks. Are Bluetooth speakers good? Portable is important also.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Doing a quick search, it seems like theres only one dock for the Nexus S, but its only for charging/sync.
The reason you don't see many good Android docks is because of all the different form factors. With all the different shapes and microusb locations, it doesn't really make much sense for manufacturers to make a dock that will only work for one or a few phones.
I think Motorola is actually making their phone pretty similar since the Atrix so that they can all be used by the laptop/media dock, but I don't think they have a dock specifically for music like there are for iPhones.
I suppose you could use bluetooth speakers but that would drain the battery pretty quickly.
Personally, I just stick to using earbuds.

I am not sure what kind of home or car stereo you have but would the usb cable be able to plug into either? On my Samsung Fascinate, when I plug in the usb I get three options and one is a media player maybe that will work for you?

I don't have any home bluetooth speakers but have always found audio quality great when using bluetooth.

Thats pretty cool. I guess I was wrong about a dock only fitting one or two form factors. Smart solution by Philips. Good find.
