There’s no doubt about it- having all the latest gadgets means a mess of power cords and chargers. Here’s an easy and neater way to charge all your gadgets at one time without the massive tangle of AC adapters and cell phone chargers.

The Family Charger Station allows you to charge up to three gadgets at once, including your iPod, cell phone, Blackberry or PDA. It works like a power strip with built in adjustable holders. Simply plug in your chargers, hide the cords in the built in compartments on the back side and pop in your gadgets. You can set this charging station on a desk or counter top or mount it to the wall. If found this charging station at Improvements for $39.99.

Now you can power your cell phone and your iPod with only the power of the sun.  This solar cell phone and iPod charger comes with a mini USB cable, 2 iPod adaptors and 5 cell phone adaptors which will work with most Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Siemens and Blackberry cell phones.  You can go from empty to a full charge in less than 3 hours on most cell phones and iPods assuming you have the advantage of direct sunlight.  Even if it’s a cloudy day, you can still generate a charge, but it will take a little longer.  As an avid camper, I think this solar cell phone and iPod charger would be a handy item to keep in the car.  On many camping trips, I’ve ended up with a dead Blackberry and had to leave it in the running car to charge.   Who can afford that with the price of gas?  And my husband loves to take his iPod along on camping trips, so we could both use it.  This solar powered charger is made by Soldius1 and it sells for around $90.
