At the Macworld convention this week, Apple leader Steve Jobs made some major product announcements -- check out Mia's post -- and other companies showed off toys which play with iPods and iPhones.

The PowerDock by Griffin is a charging base where the whole family can get together to charge their batteries. By incorporating four Apple universal docks built into a single charging base, and throwing in a collection of universal dock insert adapters, four can charge at once. It certainly will make charging at our house more harmonious.

$69.99 at Griffin, starting in March. Included: 8 universal dock inserts to fit iPod models that charge by dock connector.
