Neat idea...

Just putting another gadget through its paces whilst travelling. Picked up a CallPod on the recommendation of Pat Mahon (I'll have to un-follow him soon, he's costing me a fortune).
It's a CallPod
Basically its a power hub that allows you to charge up to six devices from a single wall socket. What's neat though is that it's supplied with several mini leads designed for various bits of kit. You can leave behind the original charging leads and wall plugs and just take the CallPod and mini leads.
This is the first time I've used it properly and it works really well, even charging my iPad from the universal iPod mini lead. As you can see, I've been able to charge my iPhone, external battery, Kodak Zi8 and also the 3Mobile Mifi (out of the photo).
I have discovered I'm a couple of leads short, namely two micro USB leads for the Mophie Juicepack and the Novetel MiFi, but you can order these separate from CallPod.
It's certainly reduced the amount of cables I've had to bring with me!

Damn you McAllister, and I guess by extention Pat Mahon too. Just ordered mine. Only complaint is the power brick that comes with it seems overly large. But overall I think it will save me a lot of cords and hassle when traveling. The unit is on sale $50% off righ know ($30.00 US) and includes some leads with vouchers.
This looks really cool. Thanks for posting.
