Out of curiosity, why doesn't Apple sell docking stations? It is my favorite accessory for my Dell and IBM laptops.
The video claims you don't have to make any settings changes. The first question that springs to mind as a PC user with a computer hooked to a 40" TV - does Mac automatically adjust your resolution and overscanning properly when you plug it into a TV?

If so this seems like a cool little device

Yep, it does. Usually OSX gets everything right immediately after connecting my MBP to a TV, although sometimes (rarely, in my experience) it needs adjustment, but that only takes a couple of clicks.

I'd love to get one Henge Dock, but it seems they're only available for Unibody Macbooks. :(

This may be obvious, but they rely on all the needed ports being on the same side. On my non-unibody Macbook pro, power is on the left side and video is on the right side.

Also, I suspect a mini display port is much easier to snap into place than a DVI port.

Neat.

But I would much rather have a docking station which let me still use the MacBook screen so as to run a Dual Screen setup
