Gomadic Sneak Peek: New Charging Station Keeps It All Neat And Clean
The beauty of the "blog" format for us is that it allows us to give folks a peak at what's next for the Gomadic crew without having to publish a web page with the traditional format.
So feast your hungry eyes on this slick new charging station that allows users to use ONE connection to the wall for all their devices instead of the potentially fuse-blowing chargers that come with all of your tech.
Most charging stations like the ReSource, KangaRoom, the Brookstone Charging Valet or "Frontgate" Charging Stations are really power strips in disguise and use the bulk of the charging station to hide all of those superfluous wires that clutter our homes and our environment. Read about our new green initiative here.
Environmental concerns aside, a power strip contained inside a box is a bad idea. The chargers (i.e. where the circuit is) get very hot and the heat can damage the chargers themselves, the devices, or, in extreme circumstances, may catch on fire. Our solution leaves nothing to overheat in the station because the power circuit is OUTSIDE the box (ie. It's the part that plugs into the wall).
Our clean, simple, cutting-edge design also takes TipExchange to the max as tips can be rotated in and out for maximum flexibility.
No more futzing with wires, plugging and unplugging your tech gear for your Ipod, iRiver Clix, Blackberry, Treo, or basically anything that makes your gadget utility belt uniquely yours. The charger also has a soft anti-slip pad to protect the device and all cables can be extended to reach side placement of power connector (as in picture with RAZR)
These days it's not just messy to have multiple wires for all of your devices it's ecologically irresponsible.
Take a look at the "before" and "after" shots, and you'll see what we mean. You also get a look into our inner sanctum: the Gomadic Tech Cave; aka: The Living Room.
As always the charger comes replete with warranties, a life long supply of turtle wax, our lovely TV spokes model, and a bottomless pouch of magic beans. Okay the warranty is true but we really want the magic beans if only to see what kind of tech the giants are using (and to steal the golden eggs).
