Cell phone, iPod, Bluetooth headset, portable navigation device, digital camera - nobody has just one device to charge. The Callpod Chargepod charges up to six devices at once from a wall socket or in your car.
The charging hub is a silvery disk with a power input jack and six output jacks. The unit with an AC adapter runs $40 (direct), the car adapter is $20, each charger tip is $10, and if you shop around you should find bundles (with several tips) discounted.
The Chargepod is especially useful on the kitchen counter if for no
other reason than you may not have a half-dozen wall outlets free for a
half-dozen separate chargers. Recharging time seems unaffected by the
number of devices connected to your Chargepod.
It has a fairly
extensive list of charging tips, and there's a generic USB tip that
works with most (not all) USB devices if a specific tip isn't
available. The Chargepod is for small personal devices; it won't recharge
laptops.
