The Amazon Kindle Fire is getting a audio dock very soon in the form of Grace Digital’s FireDock. It will allow your Fire to connect up and not only charge your unit with an accessory, but also give you enhanced audio features. It has the ability to switch between landscape and portrait mode, which is solid for watching movies and the audio sounds amazing with the stereo speakers.
“Grace Digital’s design approach on the FireDock was to provide the optimal solution around clearly defined requirements of Kindle Fire users,” says Greg Fadul, CEO of Grace Digital Audio. “There are hundreds of iPhone speaker docks, but there is no quality audio solution for the 14 million Americans who have purchased the 7-inch Kindle Fire tablet. Grace Digital engineered the FireDock as a no compromise solution to enhance Kindle Fire’s multimedia offerings such as Netflix, Pandora Internet Radio, and Amazon audio books.”
Grace Digital’s full range base ported stereo speakers and Class D Digital Amplifier, provide a crystal clear stereo sound unrivaled by generic Android docks. The FireDock for Kindle Fire will be available July 2012 at GraceDigital.com, as well as numerous online and retail outlets for $129.99.

San Diego, Calif. – (March 29, 2012) – Grace Digital Inc, a leading brand of wireless indoor & outdoor audio solutions, announces the FireDock speaker dock for Kindle Fire. In a space cluttered by generic universal docks, Grace Digital announces an innovative charging speaker dock with full-range high quality stereo sound developed exclusively to enhance the Kindle Fire’s audio and video experience. Shipping July 2012, the FireDock has a MSRP of $129.99.
Engineered for Kindle Fire, the Grace FireDock accommodates the unique USB port, headphone jack and power button, all located on the bottom of the tablet. Many universal 3.5mm speaker docks don’t allow charging while in use and make it difficult to access the device’s buttons. The Grace FireDock not only charges the Kindle Fire while on AC power, but the optional (sold separately) lithium-ion battery-pack allows for maximum portability. Exclusively sized for the Kindle Fire, the rotating cradle securely holds the 7–inch tablet, while accommodating horizontal and vertical viewing angles.
