While this review reads more like a PR hagiography rather than a balanced take on things, the Callpod Chargepod is still a good buy. At the very least, it keeps things neat and you get to show off up to six gadgets in a stunning circular formation.

The thing is, when you've spent $40 for a charging station, dropping an additional $9 for each adapter, obviously needed to get the juice flowing into your different gadgets, is a bit hard to swallow. But looking good sometimes comes at a price, and you must be Mr. Moneybags if you can afford such a varied suite of gadgets-including smartphones and PDAs-in the first place. Check out the Amazon page for the usual nifty credit-causing shopping interface.
