    Brando Clock Thermometer Has More USB Than We Know What to Do With

    I sometimes wonder if the people at Brando have a competition going to see how many USB ports they could possibly put into one gadget. This alarm clock hub comes with seven, as well as a calendar and thermometer. With seven hubs (and knowledge of your room's exact temperature), you could charge your iPod, warm your feet, warm your hands, heat your coffee, heat your lunch, humidify your cubicle and still have a port left over. Sure, having all those things running at the same time could cause some massive electrical shortage, but at least you'll be toasty, moisturized and you'll know what time it is. [Brando]

It's $17, which is just about the price we'd pay for something like this. [Netimes via Crunchgear]

Good news for Callpod and good news for consumers, who were getting fooled by the not-as-good knockoffs anyway. Here's our original review in case you were interested in getting one yourself.

    Target Selling Knockoff Chargepods Branded Under Own Name?

    A tipster tells us that Target's selling these "6 in 1 device charger" things at Target for $30, capable of charging six things at once. If that sounds familiar, it's because that's exactly what the Chargepod does. In fact, this version is so "familiar" it even stole pages out of Callpod's user manual. What's even worse about this lousy (probably Chinese) knockoff is that Target's selling it under their own Target brand. If all this is true, shame, shame on you Target.

    Coffee Cup Powers Your Morning...and Your Gadgets

    Without that cup of coffee in the morning most of us would be completely useless. Now our gadgets can get the same jump start thanks to this coffee cup charger from PowerLine. It features 2 AC outlets and one USB charging port with 200 watts of continuous power (400 watt peak). That's enough to power up some TVs and laptops. Because of its coffee cup shape, the charger fits snugly into most cup holders so it would be ideal for long trips. Just make sure that you don't reach for the PowerLine when you are looking for a sip of Starbucks. Sticking your tongue in this thing would be seriously unpleasant. Available for $27.

"The remote control needs only 30 cranks—which is nothing when you yo-yo," he said. Just 30 cranks and your dignity, Peter. I kid, of course, being someone who sleeps with a Duncan yo-yo under his pillow. The video demonstrates what a good idea this is: More »

    Nyko's Wiimote charge station has been on the market for a while now, dutifully rejuvenating two Wiimotes at a time so you don't have to. How could you improve on that concept? By introducing a charge station that charges FOUR Wiimotes simultaneously. Penguin United's solution does just that, plus comes with fancy green and blue LEDs, the ability to charge up to max in four hours and a price tag of $45. Unlike driving four cars simultaneously, eating four burgers simultaneously, peeing in four toilets simultaneously or dating four women simultaneously, we see no downside to charging four Wiimotes simultaneously.

    Naolab ChargerFrame Turns Your Charging Gizmos into Work of Art

    Shanghai-based designers Naolab have turned their creative talents towards the universal gadget charging station, and come up with ChargerFrame. It's designed to put your charging gadgets on display... in a chaotic, randomly wiry, Pollock-meets-cats-cradle kind of way. It has sockets built all around the frame, a single on-off switch and pegs for you to drape electric wires and gadgets around. Of course every time you add or remove a device, the "picture" changes, and that's kind of interesting. Maybe I like it 'cause it's the sort of thing I dream up when in a creative mood, maybe because it's actually cleverer than the Sanctuary. Just a concept. [Dezeen]

    One of our favorite multi-tipped chargers, the Chargepod, has just gotten a $10 discount down to $39.95 for the base. We're not going to be d-bags and say that our recommendation in the review last year for them to drop the price down to $39 had anything to do with it, because our egos aren't that gigantic. Their bundle pack with six adapters, chargers, and some various other stuff (carrying case) is $79, but that's a pretty small price to pay to keep your charging station organized and compact.

Griffin's PowerDock lets you bathe in the comfort of knowing two beautiful universal dock ports are being serviced simultaneously, while at the same time holding them upright in a gentle caress that only a dock that's certified as "Works with iPhone" and "Made for iPod" can.
