"Universal Charging Without The Mess"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:2009-04-8

If you have an iPod, mobile phone, handheld console (like the PSP or DSi), digital camera, and a GPS device, there is a big chance that you have a lot of chargers lying around. The Idapt Universal Desktop Charger is a box that will charge all of your electronic products in a single and mess-free box.

The Idapt Universal Desktop Charger is as simple as it gets – users only need to choose the right tip (the package comes with six), dock the device, and the unit charges it automatically. The package comes with six different tips designed for Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung phones, Nintendo DS Lite handheld, mini-USB devices, and iPod.

If you have a device that cannot be charged with the current tips, fear not – the company claims that they will be continuously developing and releasing tips for ‘never-ending compatibility.' Extra tips will cost $15 - $19 depending on which model you are after. 

Depending on the model that you end up purchasing, you can either charge two or three gadgets at any given time. While we were able to charge our iPod and iPhone using the ‘iPod' tip, a navigation device via its ‘miniUSB' tip, and a Samsung phone using the ‘Samsung 2' tip, we were unable to charge our Nokia N95 8GB edition using the ‘Nokia 2' tip despite repeated attempts to plug it in.
