Belkin in desk iPod dock

This is a pretty nifty idea from Belkin, an in-desk iPod dock. Many desks these days come pre-drilled with holes, intended for cable management (e.g. the signal and power cables to your monitor). So Belkin apparently had the bright idea of a line of accessories that would actually fit into these holes. In addition to the iPod dock they also have a both a flat and an inclined 4-port USB hub, all "coming soon" for $39.99 each. And if you don't already have a hole in your desk, you can just drill a 3" one to work with these products. One apparent downside with the iPod dock, however, is that "iPod and universal wells [are] not included "

standard size for cord gromlets is not 3", therefore you will have to drill a new hole...

I wouldn't brag about reading "the Consumerist," much less contributing to the problem :)

I've seen tables in office supply store ads for months that supposedly have the Belkin USB hubs, already. So I don't know how they are "coming soon."

As I said on the Consumerist where I saw this first...
"genius".

The Belkin one can be removed though, and it doesn't involve modifying the desk.

One problem is that those pockets are on the far corners of the desk, not so accessible. I have one such pocket right underneath my monitor.

I did this a while ago....take the dock adapter that came with your ipod, cut a hole in your desk, put some super glue on the dock adapter's edges, shove in place. insert your ipod, connect the cable on the bottom. voila! total cost: $0 if you have the adapter.
