Can't say I agree actually... On our vacation to Robogames we had to 
carry TWO power strips to connect the following devices:

-My cell phone
-My bluetooth headset
-My laptop
-My Nomad MP3 player
-Kym's cell phone
-Kym's bluetooth headset
-Kym's Laptop
-Kym's video iPod
-Nic's cell phone
-Nic's Gameboy DS
-Nic's video iPod
-Sami's Gameboy DS
-A four "AA battery" charger (2xAA per camera)

I could use one small pad that would charge all devices w/o the 
spaghetti of cables, transformers, connectors & wires. :)
