Callpod has a new device called the Chargepod which is a 6-way charging contraption that is able to connect to and charge many of your electronic gadgets at once without having multiple cords running from your power strip for each item.

The Chargepod has many interchangeable power adapters for different devices that are manufacturer-specific complete with “voltage regulator technology” to make sure the device is getting the right amount of juice.
