Why we like it: A gadget geek with an iPod, Treo, Bluetooth headset and digital camera has to haul around a lot of cords in order to rejuice all those devices. Malleable Devices says the SynCh "works with virtually all of today's most popular cell phones, music players, PDAs and thousands of other devices" -- you just need the correct "mTip" connectors. And it'll run off a wall outlet, car cigarette lighter or computer USB port.

Drawbacks: Each time you get a new device, you'll likely need to order a new mTip so the SynCh will charge that device. It's only compatible with fourth-generation or later iPods. Camera options seem somewhat limited.

Price: $39.95, including charger, USB car adapter and USB travel adapter; $26.95 for charger only. MTips are approximately $6.95 each.

Who it's best for: Gadgeteers who frequently travel with lots of devices.
