Idapt Gadget Dock Charges Almost Anything
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, charging, power, Today's Chili
Idapt’s new i4 is a charging dock for pretty much all of your gadgets. Like the company’s previous stations, the dock reduces cable-clutter, but this time it does it in shiny, piano-black style.
The hot-looking dock plugs into the mains and sits on your desk or night-stand. In the top are three virgin sockets, into which you can insert various “tips”. These are analogous to the dock inserts in Apple’s universal dock, only they also carry circuitry and connectors for various devices. If you have a vanilla USB-powered gadget, there’s a hole for that, too, hidden down at the side.
The tips fit most kinds of cellphone, the Nintendo DS, the PSP, the iPhone, all sizes of USB and one is even a charger for AA and AAA batteries. It even has an off-switch so you don’t have to yank the cord from the wall. The only problem might be the price. At $60, the i4 isn’t bad, but you’ll need to buy tips, either at around $15 each or in packs which start at $40 for 4.
The i4 also comes in white, available in May.
