    So you look at whatever this abortion is an say to yourself “Wow! They connected an iPad to a Kindle or whatever and some kind of phone! These guys are geniuses!” Then you realize it’s just a charger and then you’re kind of annoyed.

    Anyway, this is just some kind of charger thing but it’s pretty cool. It’s from iHome and does all of this stuff:

    Charges iPad. Built-in stand included.
    Dual universal docks: One to charge and sync to iTunes
    Second dock for quick charge of iPhone/iPod
    Charges (via USB port) iPad, Blackberry, and most eBook readers, including Sony Reader, Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, etc.
    Expandable, rubberized rest area accommodates Blackberry, and most eBook readers

    Great, right? Right.
