The package I bought came with cables for PSP (which I have), any USB device (I used initially for my iPhone), Motorola phones (I dug up my old RAZR to see if it works), Samsung phones (don't own any) and Nokia phones (haven't owned one in a long time). You can charge via a regular plug (it looks pretty generic for a company that is perceived as design-centric, Apple has spoiled me when it comes to even a plug - I expected collapsable prongs at least) or you can charge via a car charger. Lastly, you get a carry case. The bulky wall plug won't fit into this bag, so I assume they made this for the car charger, but it would have been nice if the wall plug could do some funky transformation to fit.
I later went to their website to order additional cables for my iPod and another iPod cable for my iPhone and a Nintendo DS Lite cable. Each cost $9.95.
After using it for a few weeks now, I definitely think it does cut down on cord clutter. And instead of six plugs going to the wall, I just have one. This is the nicest aspect of the Chargepod. Also, I don't have to look for my charging cable on the floor (which usually happens once I unplug a device that's on my desk) when I'm ready to charge my devices. One problem that it doesn't solve is desk clutter. From the photo, you can see that it still takes up quite a bit of desk space. I wonder if there is a way to make it have a smaller footprint, perhaps some kind of shelving system? Overall, I'm very happy with this product.
