Gomadic Universal Charging Station for the Apple Nano Video Gen 3 and many other mobile devices - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology - 4 tips included Review

I bought 3 of these charging stations and a handful of interchangeable tips from their website directly (I wanted to customize my selection of tips - less wasteful).. This is a sleek charging station.It is NOT a cabinet to hide a hideous octopus-like power strip.There is only ONE wall plug.You buy the tips to match your particular products.My assortment of gadgets: Samsung cell phones, an assortment of iPods, a Sandisk Sansa MP3 player, Motorola Bluetooth headsets, Nintendo DS Lites, Sony PSP... you get the picture.With the interchangeable tips, you can customize not only what items you charge, but where you charge them AND the tips are retractable so they fit nice and snuggly in the base when you're not using them or if your device is small it hides the cord.A truly elegant solution.I bought the wrong tips for our Nintendo DS Lites and am in the process of exchanging them.Beware when ordering tips, you are only give a tip number and have to remember or figure out after receiving your order what goes with which device.I've asked them for a "tip chart" - let's see if they come thru.A tip chart should be included with each order as I see it.

Their list of manufacturers is impressive, too.

I also purchased their retractable car/USB charger and dual car charger - soo cool.

Best of all... if you buy other devices later... all you need to buy is a TIP and you can still use the chargers.I have a graveyard of chargers.GoodBYE octopus of cords, GoodBUY for us!

HOLY COW! Just got an email from Gomadic regarding my "tip exchange" read this:

No problem. We have sent two tips for the DS Lite off today at no charge. No need to send back the Tip 45s...

Sincerely,
Gomadic

AM I HALLUCINATING?! DID THEY SAY SENDING OUT THE NEW TIPS FREE OF CHARGE, NO NEED TO RETURN THE OTHERS?! Unheard of. Great, fast customer service. HIGHLY recommended!!

Rapid Car / Auto Charger for the Archos 604 - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology Review

basically no one makes a car charger for the archos 504 or 604, unless you have the travel dvr adapter.this item is great, it fills the need for those of us using these archos players in the car for music, and is cheaper than the archos travel charger that you need the dvr adapter to use.

i'm giving it 4 stars, b/c it does what you expect it to, is well built, and has the ability for interchangable device tips.the only reason it didnt get 5 stars is b/c i think that is for things that go above and beyond your expectations.

Gomadic Universal Charging Station for the Sony Ericsson W302 and many other mobile devices - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology - 4 tips included Review

The Gomadic Universal Charging Station helps manage the mess of charging electronics. It provides a single location for charging your cell phones, iPods, MP3 players, bluetooth devices, and other accessories.

The device is quite simple... It is made from a mid-grade matte black plastic which contains the internal wiring. On the top is a rubberized "platform where you place your electronics while they charge. At the bottom of the platform are 4 cables with jacks for "tips". You plug a device-specific "tip" in to the socket and then plug the cable into your device. This allows you charge any combination of devices at your station. The tips appear to be high quality with strong clips/springs and appear to be as good as OEM parts; price is reasonable at about $5 + shipping for new tips.

The price feels bit high considering that I already have all the AC adapters I need (and half of them are USB-type adapters). However, the real value is in the organization and simplicity. We keep our electronics on the kitchen bar near the cordless phone which means there's only one free plug at any time. The Gomadic Charging Station allows us to charge 4 devices simultaneously and keep the area free of clutter and wires. There's never any tangles, missing AC adapters, or conflict over who gets to use the plug.

The few flaws I've found with the product:
1. There needs to be a "drawer" or "bin" for extra tips.
2. The tips are kind of big so it's hard to plug them in sideways.
3. Devices fit much better when the charging port is on the top or bottom; sideways devices are very awkward.
4. Ony comes in black.

Essential Kit for the Creative Zen Vision M includes a Car and Wall Charger - Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology Review

If you're buying a Zan Vision: M, you need this set. The process of charging through the USB cable that comes with the player is ridiculously long and annoying. Both of the chargers work beautifully. I've had absolutely no problems. The only complaint I have is that the cords on these chargers are shorter than I would like. The wall charger cord is 2 or 3 feet long which means it can't go far while it's plugged in. It is hardly long enough to put the player on my desk while it's plugged in. The car charger cord is a foot long, maybe less. It's coiled so that, theoretically, you could stretch it if you needed it to be longer, but in my experience trying to stretch it just pops it out of the lighter socket. So that's something to keep in mind when buying.

Deluxe Kit for the iRiver H10 20GB includes a USB cable with Car and Wall Charger - Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology Review

You go to just about any electronics store and you can find gobs of parephenalia for the ipod and next to nothing for other MP3 players. I spent ages looking for a car adapter for my iriver until I came across gomadic. I was also able to find an adapter for my brother's Phillips GoGear.

In both cases the adapters worked excellently.

My one peeve is that tips of the adapters, being interchangeable are kind of easy to lose. As long as you keep the tip on a dongle though this isn't much of a problem.
