I have three iPods (in addition to my iPhone) which tends to drive my husband a little crazy
because the two power strips in our office are now full and he refuses to add
a third one. I can't blame him, so I've been looking for ways to free up some space
on the power strips to keep him happy.
Recharging stations are great, but I think Engadget spotted a neat solution from JVC that would allow me to get rid of my desktop stereo and two iPod chargers all at once.
The dual-docking station called the NX-PN7 will charge two iPods or iPhones at the same time and play music from both devices. Despite being only 13-inches wide, the small station has big speakers, an AM/FM tuner, an auxiliary input for your other music players, and a video output for your iPod.
It also comes with a clock, so you can keep it next to your bed, and a little mood lighting that can change colors. The iPod dual-docking station is currently available online and retails for $150.
This isn't the first iPod dual docking station. Earlier this year, I spotted Griffin's PowerDock at Macworld which can charge two to four iPods at the same time depending on the model you get. They're a lot cheaper, but they don't include the built-in stereo option, which is nice to have.

Thanks alpyne2 for your comment. Actually two of my iPods are gifts and are engraved so that's why I keep them, and I use the smaller iPod nano for the gym. Plus it's nice to have a dedicated iPod for my car. But you're right, these things accumulate over time, especially when you're in my line of work. I've given away a lot of my gadgets because I don't use them, but I have a hard time getting rid of my iPods. ;)

Why do you need 3 iPods AND and iPhone?! That is just way to much. And whats the point of the speakers? Can't you just play the music off of your iTunes?
