Earth Trek Phone Stand is USB Hub, Card Reader Too
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 11:10 PM on June 2, 2008
Sure, this all-in-one from Earth Trek is no good-looking gadget stand like the iClooly, but it'd be hard to beat it for convenience. You can use it to prop up your mobile phone (though how does it stick on? ... magic? love? glue?) and also charge it through a range of swappable connectors. It's also a three-way USB hub, and you can even jam in a range of memory cards from microSD to MemoryStick Pro Duo. Looks like the perfect thing to fling in your laptop bag when you're off on a trip. It's available in black or white, but there's no info on price. [Akihabaranews]

Interesting idea but I think I'm going to give it a resounding "Meh"

I actually like this thing. :p
As for that 'magic', it's probably made from the same material as the pads people put in their cars... [video.yahoo.com]
It would be better, especially for travel, if it folded flat though...

@s7yl33: my thoughts exactly. It must be one of those materials from non-slip car dash products.
Yes, folding would be nice, along with an adjustable angle.
I built something like this for my Treo 650 way back when with Technic Legos since I didn't have the best reception at my desk at home. It had wheels too.

@s7yl33:
So I went to your link to watch the video, suffered through the Will Ferrell fake commercial, then the video wasn't there after all... grrrrr...
