Griffin PowerDock: quadruple your charging pleasure

The Apple SoHo store has the dual charger in store already (saw it today).

This is great fr my wife and I. she has a nano for working out, and with baby music for our daughter, we both have iphones, and my 60 ipod holds all my music and podcasts for roadtrips...
but I wonder.. will it also out a USB cord for syncing, I could really use one that also syncs and reduces the need for multiples usb ports, especially since all mine don't play nice with the same cords.

In our family of 6 this would be a great fit for us! Since everyone syncs in a central location it would work well.

iTunes can't sync two iPods at the same time, so any future sync capability will need a switcher of some kind. Sync one, then the next.

But I don't think this is for synching. This is for an everyday charge. i have to charge the Touch every day, but I might go two weeks without synching it. When I need to sync, I go down and plug it in to the regular sync cable. Otherwise, I don't need to bother my computer

Why in the WORLD do you not include a USB cable on this thing to sync them all? I'm dumbfounded by the shortsightedness of that feature gap.

We've got more than enough gizmos to fill it, but if I still have to have all the syncing cables, what's the point?

I'll be getting one of these if they support the new iPhone.

Man, there are naysayers for just about anything, aren't there?

It's hardly a show-off device. If you have enough iPod users in a busy active family, I could definitely see the advantage of having an iPod "garage" with enough space to ensure there are no disagreements which teenager needs to charge their iPod more. And my iPod Touch needs to be charged almost every night. Wifi eats batteries like crazy.

The two-port version is only $20 more than the crappy single iPod charger I bought a few months back so I wouldn't have to leave my Mac on all the time for charging convenience. If I could have bought this then, I would have. My wife is getting a nano for an anniversary present (shhh!) and I'm looking at this two-iPod charger wishing I had one.

I agree fully with Ryan Trevisol. I would buy it for my wife and I, but it can't sync. It would be nice to have switchable digital audio out as well, but that's a higher end device.

..and for those if us who live people--family, friends, lovers, whatever--it will be nice to have ONE place to charge whatever needs charging, and preferably, have it parked near the door where car keys, spare change, notes for the rest of you, etc. are also kept.

Does no one else who reads TUAW have a household bigger than themselves and a spouse? Jeez. It may not work for YOU but I think it will work well for ME (and the WE) household of six. Of course, there will be the day when number five and number six are --- out of luck.
