The good people at Distill Union, a product design studio, have devised a wall-mounted dock for iPhones and similar small USB-powered devices that allows people to charge their gadgets and use them at the same time.
Many charging docks either do not have cords or have cords that are too short to allow for any real freedom of movement. As such, these docks prevent people from talking or texting on their phones while the devices charge.
The SocketDock incorporates a stand upon which one's device can rest while it charges with an extendable cord that gives its user an ability to walk around with their smartphone, table PC or iPod. This simple feature makes the SocketDock a convenient, and thus appealing product.
