Griffin found a solution for that by offering this dual USB PowerBlock that let you charge two USB devices like iPhones or even Zune players. And the nice thing is this powerplug is even cheaper then the one Apple offers and this one lets you charge two devices.

All those charging adapters and wires drive me nuts but not any more. With this Charging Station your charging worries are over. This dock offers 13 different wires for almost any device (see Device List).

So less wires will mess up your desk and there is more.

These days green is the way to go but most of our chargers charge and charge and charge and a well I guess you get my point, they never stop charging even if you battery is full. Not with this charging station, when you iPhone, Nokia, Black Berry or Palm are full it just turns itself off.

If you like me have ears that are not Apple compatible then you know how difficult it can be to try to use there headphones with build in microphone. For me the Apple headphones just don’t fit and for that reason I still use the ancient Sony once I got with my portable CD player a long long long time ago.

But I would like to use the mic so that I don’t have to hold my iPhone when I am trying to work.

So now there is a solution for that, SmartTalk offers a little cable that you can stick between you iPhone (or other device) and your favorite headphones and by doing so you add a iPhone compatible microphone to your good old headphones.

And that is not all the SmartTalk adapter can pickup calls or send the to voice mail or your can use it to play, pause or skip music so you see this little adapter can change your life like the iPhone did once.

Lots of us these days work on laptops and that means we have a lot of wire lying around.

The pictures above kinda tells a story about how my cables should look but they don’t.

Right now there are the following cables on my desk:

• power cable laptop
• printer cable
• USB cable for my camera
• Ethernet cable
• iPhone sync cable
• external hard drive cable

You see way to many cable just lying loose. But with the CableDrop this could all be organized a lot nicer. Just stick one of the clips at the edge of you desk and route the cable through it and there you are no loose wire any more till you pull it up to use it.

For me this would be a great solution and I will be getting one of these. They come in a set of 6 (2 of each color) and for less the 10 dollars it seems money well spend.

Check out the CableDrop Cable Clips and see how they could improve you desk.

As some of you may have noticed Apple changed something in there iPod’s and Iphone so that now you can’t charge it with all the devices out there. My old music station with iPod dock plays music great but will not charge my second generation iPod Touch.

But now there is at least a solution that makes it possible again to charge it in to most USB devices.

Just put this piece of wire between you iPod cord and the charger and you are ready to go.

The Charging Adapter works with all iPod and iPhones so now you can charge worry free.
