iPod Charging get a new boost with this new Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Clock Charging station. Power consumption has always been a problem for iPod/iPhone owners, often in need of a reliable charging station to use.

The Dexim Dual Dock Charging Station solves this problem with two dedicated power docks and a selection of adapters to fit every iPod/iPhone model except the shuffles. The day I brought mine from home to the office, someone announced over Twitter that one was needed. I pulled it out and we found the cradle adapter to fit and he was off to the races. With this setup on hand, any iPod/iPhone can be fully charged from stone dead to full in 60-90 minutes.

Included in the box is the unit itself, a power cable, and six dock inserts. Snapping them in and out is not intuitive, but once you pay attention to it once, you’ll be able to use them in no time. All the parts are held in vacu-formed clear plastic in a cardboard box. No Jaws of Life are required to extricate anything.
