Griffin Launches Dual iPhone/iPod Charger

Griffin Launches Dual iPhone/iPod ChargerAccessory and peripheral maker Griffin Technology is now shipping its PowerDock 2, acharging base station for the iPhone and iPod family that offers two charging bays so users can charge multiple devices at the same time. The PowerDock 2 is compatible with iPhones and any iPod thatcharges via a Dock Connector.

The PowerDock 2 features a brushed aluminum frame with a bit of mass to it, along with a rubber base that helps ensure the PowerDock doesn’t slid around on a surface while users are adding and removing their devices. The PowerDock 2 comes with eight Universal Dock inserts for fitting a wide range of iPod models, and is certified by Apple as both a “Works with iPhone” and “Made for iPod” product. Unfortunately, the PowerDock does not offer USB connectivity: if you want to sync your devices, you’ll still have to hook them up to a computer.

The PowerDock 2 is available now for a suggested price of $49.99. A version capable of charging four devices at a time—presumably to be called the PowerDock 4—will be available soon at $69.99.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be.
