6-Way Charging With The Chargepod

This useful gadget should be labeled the charger of all chargers, or at least celebrated for its shape. With the callpod charger by Chargepod you can charge not one, not two, but six devices at once with a little extra arty flare. I probably would have laughed at this invention five years ago, but now that almost every device needs to be charged via USB it seems more than practical. You can use it for your PDA, iPod, cell phone, headsets, MP3 players and other devices (regardless of the manufacturer or model-just don't try to charge your laptop) with only one single power cord. Featured on Gizmodo, this fantastic charger will eliminate the multiple chargers lingering in your purse or drawer...not to mention the time you will save trying to decipher which charger goes with each gadget! When I first saw a price of $50, I thought score - That's less than $10 per individual gadget charger. But then I realized the exact opposite was true, each adapter on top of the base charger is $10 extra, which means the callpod will cost you $110 for all six adapters.

Wireless Gadget Charging Pad - Coming Soon

GeekSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 14:30:25 -0700

I think we can all agree that there is nothing more unsightly than cords and wires tangled together in a charging mess. Designs like the Multipot, which combines a sleek light with a storage space for your small gadgetry, may hide the problem, but it doesn't solve it. Lucky for us Wild Charge claims its upcoming device will launch a "wire-free electric power revolution."

The company is set to begin selling the official WildCharger, a sleek ultra thin pad that delivers full power to the WildCharge enabled device resting on it, on July 7.

The device will supposedly help us cure the madness of cords, chargers, adapters and congested outlets for our mobile electronic devices by offering a single pad that does it all. All you'll need is an adapter for the WildCharge. No word on the price, but it has to cost less than the 6-Way Chargepod, which requires pricey separate adapters for each device.
