I've seen a few laptop stands while touring corporate offices, but the new Oyster laptop dock appears to be a real innovation over previous "pedestal" designs. It holds your laptop in the fully open position and offers a built-in USB hub. Insert your laptop, plug in a single USB connector and the power connector, and you've got a desktop setup with full-size keyboard and mouse (not included.) This should be very popular with both home users and corporate buyers worried about the ergonomics of heavy laptop use.
OysterDock was announced a while ago, but it's now available for pre-order at Amazon, which has become the de-facto Internet indicator that a product is about to arrive.
