For less than $20 bucks this latest gadget for iOS or iDevice owners makes perfect sense. The Bluelounge MiniDock is basically a dock that plugs into the USB socket thereby replacing your connector cable with a miniature docking cradle that perches your iDevice right next to the mains.

While there many be situations where you'd still want a cable, I personally think the MiniDock will do the trick for me most of the time and keep things tidy too. Not only does it keep it off the ground where it can get stepped on, or off a desk where it could fall, but it also allows for hands-free usage in certain situations. Like listening to music, or watching recipe videos, while cooking.

US, UK (image below) and EU versions are available and like I said, for just $19.95.
