Gomadic, well known for tips, chargers and adapters of all kinds, popped a quick peek at its new Multi Charging Station on the Gomadic blog recently. To say we're pretty stoked is definitely an understatement -- with space for four devices and only one cable snaking back to the wall, we're expecting this thing to become a mainstay at Engadget Mobile central. Unlike some charging stations, Gomadic claims this isn't simply a power bar in disguise as all of the power needs are handled by one circuit which is in the transformer plugged in the wall. In other words, no heat, no worry, just happily charging devices resting on a no-slip cushion. No clues as to when this will hit retail, how many of Gomadic's interchangeable tips will be included, or price, but we are all signed up to get more info and as soon as we have it, you will.
That picture is a smorgasbord of crappy devices.
This is new? I have one of these (not this version, but the same idea) that I got at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $20. Exact same concept. Works awesome. Even has sliding posts to keep things snug.
I am waiting until those charging pads are more prevalent to jump into to this sort of market.
looks like my setup, cept replace with Pearl, H700, MDA, and iPod
