In all seriousness, I would like to add something useful to the discussion. How do you deal with things that need to charge and also need to be connected to a computer for synching or otherwise, e.g. iPod. It seems the goal of the "charging station" hack is to have them all in the same place, so I'm curious how those of you that are using such hacks deal with things like this.

My general approach to this whole thing is to charge as needed while on the go. When I hop in the car, I put my cell on the car charger if it needs it. I charge my Plantronics headset via USB when I am working on my laptop. Usually, I do the same for my iPod, although when I use my FM transmitter, it charges too so it's a double whammy.

So, whose charging hack is - like mine - to fly by the seat of your pants?
