Of course they share a power supply, the SCD is most likely the docking station.

The base unit would have to have its power supply too though, what if someone doesn't own the docking station in that case?

I'm sure it will.  But the base station/SCD is most likely designed to sit at your home and be plugged in at all times.  You just plop in the tablet and play/charge.  I expect two SKUs, and the portable-only version would just have a plug.
