The Callpod is a strange looking device – much like an octopus. The more I look at it the more I like it. What is a Callpod? It is a device that can charge up to six electronic gadgets all at the same time – and get this – only one wall outlet is needed.

If your house is anything like mine there are never enough outlets so the Callpod could really come in handy. Cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras and portable handheld gaming devices multiplied by the number of family members can exhaust rooms full of electrical outlets.

Consider the difficulty of charging cell phones for several members of the family while traveling. The tangled charging blocks, the search for a free outlet and the inevitable forgotten cell phone can diminish an otherwise great trip.

The Callpod can charge over 1000 different electronic gadgets - of course not at the same time and not with the same adapters or “chargepods”. Six of the most popular chargepods are bundled with the Callpod: (The voltage is regulated by the Callpod)

• Universal mini USB
• Apple iPhones, iTouch
• Sony PSP
• Samsung cell phones
• Nokia cell phones
• Palm Treo cell phones

. The Callpod typically sells for under $50.00 and the extra chargepods typically sell for around $10.
