CHARGEPOD

You have a process when you get home that usually involves disgorging the contents of your pockets or bag onto some flat surface and connect each electronic gadget to a long snaking cable.

Those cables twist turn and loop around each other in a spaghetti tangle of wire. What a mess. Let's not even talk about how you had to get a specially built power-strip to handle all those giant transformers at the end.

And what happens if you go out of town? You have to untangle that bird's nest of wiring to retrieve that one cable.

It's a disaster - one that some very smart engineers were only happy to tackle. They realized that they could consolidate up to six chargers into one compact and easily manageable device.

Hours of agonizing over industrial design finally paid off when they released the Chargepod. A flat disk of electronic organization, capable of charging up to six devices simultaneously. They chose the six most popular connectors to get you started, but you can purchase, a la carte, the chargers necessary to connect potentially thousands of devices to your Chargepod, from all your cellphones, to your laptop, iPod, iPhone, PSP, DS and even other less famous gadgets.
