Have more than one iPod? Chances are you do. The Griffin PowerDock 2 Charging Cradle for iPod and iPhone will let you charge two iPhones, two iPods or an iPod and an iPhone at once. It’s a nice solution not only for the compact all-in-one design, but I know the thought of placing my iPod and iPhone properly in the dock is more calming than just leaving them on my desk.
The PowerDock 2 won’t hook up to your Mac—it has no ports other than the AC on the back—but that makes sense since you can’t sync both devices simultaneously anyway. I like the fact that you don’t have to have your devices plugged into your Mac at all times to charge them. One note, however: iPhones will charge slightly slower than their maximum allowed capacity in this device (than if charged by themselves). I did not notice this to be a problem—it’s easy enough to put my iPod and iPhone in there and charge overnight.
It’s also made out of brushed aluminum, which matches the MacBook Pros and iMacs very nicely. There are two black Universal Docks next to one another in the center of the charging station. You’ll get adapters for all current iPods and iPhone, though there’s only one of each kind. (If you have two of the same model, you’ll need to pick a similarly-sized one for the second.)
Formerly $49.99, the Griffin PowerDock 2 is now $39.99, a fair price to charge more than one device!
