Can I place the tablet into this dock in portrait mode?

It does not have the ability to be in portrait mode. The stand will not stay up on its side and the slot the tablet fits in is designed for landscape. It is a great stand though.

If you mean that when you place the tablet into the cradle a slide show of your photos automatically starts, then YES. You can turn it of by pressing the "off" button on the top left side of the tablet. I love it. My tablet is then a picture frame. To connect to the charge the tablet has to be slid into place with the "Sony" logo at the top left.

The cradle will hold the tablet in portrait mode, but it will NOT charge in that position. The charging contacts are on the lower left edge, below the power and volume controls. The charging contacts on the cradle are only on the lower left of the frame.

No. On the left side toward the bottom is the charging contacts. Cradle only holds the tablet in landscape mode.

If you mean, can you do that while the base is in the position shown above...then No. If you look at your tablet, you will see two contact points on the left side, towards the bottom. That's where the base connects. This base allows you to charge your tablet without having to pop open the USB port cap. And when used with certain tablet covers, you can charge the tablet without removing it from the cover. I love this cradle, don't have to worry about damaging the USB cord while charging. It's only CON is that it's difficult to use the tablet in portrait mode while it's connected.

I have read everything I can find about this tablet and have not seen any info about a dock. (or any accessories for that matter) According to the manual, it will come with a usb adapter for the mini-usb port. I believe you could use a traditional USB keyboard with the adapter. I have one pre-ordered, unless I change my mind before they release it (could they be more vague on the date?!) and intend to get a bluetooth keyboard to go with it. Here's a link to the manual if you haven't seen it: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Document/User%20Manual/User%20Manual_Acer_1.0_A_A.zip?acerid=634685991372961583&Step1=Tablet&Step2=ICONIA%20TAB&Step3=A510&OS=a09&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6

Yes. I use it in both position. Just make sure it's nice and tight in the portrait position so the tablet doesn't slip down ;)

Propping up the tablet in horizontal mode works "so-so" with this case cover.Putting the tablet in portrait mode works too but the unit is able to stand up on its own because it has been propped up in a "V" pattern. (Take a book and open it up to the middle page and set it on the table-now you get idea)

Yes it will but the curve of the tablet where it connects makes it a real pain to dock, other than that its very solid and adds extra functionality to your tablet

Good question! I ordered a dock, and it turned out to be for the smaller (10.1") tablet. I finally fount one on eBay, bur it cost me $180. I am waiting for a refund on the one I had to return from Amazon.

The dock uses the same cord as the tablet. The cords are not interchangeable.

Yes I'm pretty sure you can. The docking at the bottom is the same on all IPads.

Yes, you can, but only to view. If you wanted the tablet in portrait and adjust the keyboard to type beneath it in portrait, it does not do that.

No. The stand has groves designed for the device to fit in Landscape mode. Plus the stand has such a low profile that if you were to turn it Portrait it would probably flip over the stand.

The tablet is perfectly supported in portrait or landscape modes. Great product!

I park mine in landscape mode. The cord will be to either side.This is not a dock. This is a stand. An adjustable stand. I park it here. Nice small footprint.

If you are talking about a portrait position, then yes you can. If you have a 7" or 8" tablet, you do not need to rotate the "face" of the stand. Any 8"-12" tablet, you have to rotate it. Make sure it is tight.

Yes, it will work in portait mode. You can either adjust it in its icon in the tray (bottom right), or adjust Screen Resolution - Orientation to Portrait.

Getting the tablet lined up with the plugs on the dock can be tricky. Tablet has to be at a certain angle in order to engage the plugs on the dock. If you have a case on it you have to make sure you are using the supplied faceplate. The dock came supplied with two front faceplates. One for use without a case and one for use with. I have had no problems getting my Xoom to mate up with the dock. Hope this helps. Good luck!

It's not designed to stand up in portrait mode, but it technically can be done. The screen will be completely vertical and you might knock it over while trying to use the touchscreen.
