For iPod owners, it is practically automatic to have a USB sync cable with the device for storing, uploading and recharging your device. But what if you could get another device that would allow you to perform multiple tasks like perhaps charge other gadgets?

Well all this is possible now with the release of the PocketDock by Sendstation. This new dock allows you to charge with a normal mini USB cable and then connect your iPod to a home stereo or speakers. The device plugs into the charge port of your iPod and offers a 3.5mm output and a mini USB plug.

The PocketDock carries a 30-pin docking connector and is about the size of an actual iPhone charger. It retails for $29.95.

Never worry about running low on batteries for your iPod or iPhone anymore. There is a suitable car charger for you courtesy of Belkin’s new Micro Auto Charger and Dual Auto Charger.

Micro Auto Charger is packaged in a compact design and adds no extra bulk to your dashboard. Sitting nearly flush with your dashboard, the Micro Auto Charger still allows room on its lip for you to easily detach it from your dashboard. It also charges at 1 amp — ideal for iPhone devices and certain GPS systems in that it will charge at the device’s fullest power.

With its two USB ports, the Dual Auto Charger lets you charge your iPod through one port while charging your cell phone in the other, simultaneously. One quick-charge port powers at 1 amp for your iPhone, and the second port charges at 500 milliamps, which will support iPod devices and cell phones such as BlackBerry phones.
