Droid dock is a 'let down'

I got all excited about the DROID docking systems with auto application popup;

(about the 7 minute mark)


until i read this.

Thats a shame, i was hoping it was some as yet undisclosed rfid reader functionality.
Just using magnets means their various location placement are going to be limited (eg you cant create your own version of the docking device to bring up other apps).

P.S. I've since picked up my own Droid and have been posting comments about it here;

P.P.S. I wonder if i can modify the 'dock screen' to have multiple panels so when i'm watching the game online i can have http://www.livefootballchat.com/ streaming while sitting in the dock?
