Chargepod is a 6-way charging device that allows you to charge multiple cellphones, PDAs, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras, MP3 players, portable gaming systems, and most other mobile electronics with a single power cord. Just pick out the device-specific adapters for your devices and throw away the dozens of power cords and wall warts that are cluttering your office and home. Chargepod uses voltage regulator technology and interchangeable power adapters to safely charge all of your mobile devices.

Summary: clever idea...poor execution and customer service
Comment: i travel a lot and carry too many chargers...so, i though the callpod was a great idea.
i ordered the charger and 4 adapters for $109 bucks... the deliver was ontime.
what arrived was a really cheap plastic pod and adapters that at most should not cost more than $2 bucks each... the adapters are so cheaply made that they don't attach to the pod very good. the charger has all these lights that stay on unless i unplug the entire unit. the ipod charger is so badly made that it got stuck in my ipod...i had to spend serveral minutes trying to jiggle it out...i believe the side buttons which actuate the clip in inop...
i called cellpod and they said to send it back... i said no...they sent a defective adapter and they should pay the postage... then...they tried to convince me to go to dhl and use their account... i said no...i paid for deliver to my house and i'm not running around town looking for dhl... finally...after haggling with c/s, they said they would send a prepaid dhl envelope to my home...
all in all...this is really a cheesy product and not very good customer service... i have not received the dhl envelope after a week...
i will never buy from them again...nor will i recommend their products to my fellow travellers...

Summary: One of my favorite gadgets
Comment: Although I didn't like my CallPod Dragon bluetooth headset, I love this CallPod Charger. I started running out of places to charge my multiple gadgets at night, each one wanting is own outlet. With this unit, I charge two cell phones, my bluetooth headset, two Ipods, and I still have room for expansion. Best of all, I only have to tie up a single outlet.
My only complaint is that I would like to be able to turn off all the little LEDs for each connected device. At night, my bedroom ceiling glows blue due all those LEDs.

Summary: Useful product, but...
Comment: True, this charger will charge multiple devices, but...
1. Individual cables are not labeled as to what device they are for.
2. The charger lights do not go out when the device is charged. I can see how you might overcharge some devices because there is no automatic circuit that detects when the battery is fully charged. Such "battery full" circuits are almost always present in chargers made for specific devices.
3. Unless you buy an adapter specifically for the iPod, the USB adapter still requires an iPod charging cable, which you may already have.
I'm not saying that the Chargepod doesn't do what it's supposed to do, but you should note these caveats.

Summary: Great solution for charging your electronics
Comment: Please see my review for this item under the link where it is sold as part of a starter pack, which may make more sense for you to buy than just the unit alone(in which case you will have to buy separate adaptors for each gadget that you want to use) depending on your needs.

Summary: Little known Gem
Comment: Oh, is this a cool gadget! I love how this looks on the counter and it frees up plenty of plug space. I asked about this gadget at Best Buy and the folks there didn't even know what I was talking about. Please note: you must purchase the item-specific adapters (sold seperately) to "plug in". Any unit that is plugged in will light up blue so you know that it is charging correctly. You will love this neat little gadget; get one before they are sold-out.
