If you are getting tired of having all sort of chargers and charging docking stations around the house then you should definitely check the iHome iB969 power station out, this device being able to juice up to four devices simultaneously, including iPad, iPhone or iPods as well as a full range of other gadgets.

Taking a closer look at iHome's space saving power station, apart from its stylish good looks, we notice that it comes with an iPad stand, that can be used to hold the tablet either horizontally or vertically, dual iPhone/iPod docks and a rubberized surface for placing other devices while they charge.

Apart from the slew of Apple products this charger supports, iHome's device is also compatible with all sort of other gadgets such as Sony's Reader series thanks to a USB to 4mm cable specially designed for this device.

Furthermore, the USB to mini USB cable together with the mini USB to micro USB converter makes sure that any other device that supports USB charging is compatible with the iHome iB969, so the vast majority of smartphones, tablets, eReaders and PMPs available out there are compatible with iHome's solution.

Unfortunately, only one of the dual iPhone/iPod docks available can be synced with iTunes, provided that users connect the included 36-inch USB sync cable to their PC or Mac computer.

The unit is powered by an included 9W power brick, this, together with the integrated cable management feature, reducing cable clutter.

Available right now for $60 US, the iHome iB969 is pretty much the only solution that I know of that can charge up to four devices simultaneously, so if you have that many gadgets lying around it may be worth the investment, although I would surely like this to provide sync abilities for more than one Apple device.
