It was high time someone started making some docking stations for Android devices and, sure enough, Philips decided to be the first to manufacture something of the sort.

Apparently, the company built three Android tablet and smartphone-compatible speaker docks called Fidelio AS851, Fidelio AS351 and Fidelio AS111.

In that order, they are aimed at the high-end, mainstream and entry-level markets and sell for £199, £129 and £70, respectively.

Based on exchange rates, that means $315 / 233 Euro, $204 / 151 Euro and $111 / 82 Euro.

AS851 has an output of 30 Watts and Philips Digital sound processing, while AS351 has 10 Watts and Dynamic Bass Boost. Finally, the AS111 has a 360-degree speaker and is intended as a bedside dock.

Philips is reportedly working on some wireless docks as well, set to show up in 2012.
