HTC Desire Dock / Wooden Stand

After buying an HTC Desire smartphone, I tried to find a suitable dock or stand for holding the phone while syncing and charging the phone. I ordered one from ebay over 3 weeks ago but the seller has let me down and hasn't sent it.

After looking for a suitable material to make a Desire dock from, we found a piece of Rosewood in the workshop 100mm x 100mm x 40mm high.

I purchased a 1m long micro usb lead with a right angle plug from ebay for £3.00

The new custom wooden dock was designed in Illustrator and then the cut paths generated and fed to Mach 3 on the CNC mill.

The top surface of the wood was machined flat before milling using a surfacing tool.

I have written a small app for my new HTC desire phone which I got last week and I was hoping that some of the other Desire users could help beta test  it :)

The app gets places to eat, accommodation, events and local news from my community site at http://www.virtual-swanage.co.uk/

I havent uploaded the app to the android market yet but the installer can be downloaded from http://www.virtual-swanage.co.uk/mobile/android/VirtualSwanage.apk

Any feedback, good or bad is very welcome :)

Next is the iPhone version!
