Long-time readers of The Smart PDA may remember the Power Station Organizer, a charging station that neatly arranged up to three gadgets with its adjustable docks, tucking away chargers' cords to keep things neat.

If for some reason though you (or your family) have to charge four or more devices, or have only one socket for up to eleven gadgets (not necessarily only smartphones and PDAs), maybe Belkin's offering will prove interesting.

The aptly named Concealed Surge Protector has three things going for it. Like the Power Station Organizer it tucks away all those messy wires (everything streams out of one hole). And four of its internal sockets are designed for those hefty charger plugs. In case it isn't obvious, this Belkin product also provides surge protection. Those sudden spikes in power will no longer hurt your precious gadgets.

In fact, the Concealed Surge Protector may be Overkill, since it features ports for phone and Ethernet cables! Yet if you find yourself having to charge almost a dozen smartphones or PDAs--say your family's a techie version of the Brady Bunch (shudder)--but only have one wall socket to work with, here's the perfect peripheral for you.
