This sounds suspiciously like iGo (www.igo.com)'s offering. Of course, competition can be good.

Except iGo does power only, no data.

Whoops, I skimmed over the sync part. :oops:

iGo seems interesting.

Looks like its power adapter will work with more types of mobile devices. I can consolidate camera, laptop and phone charger. :-)

I am confused between the two.

- iGo covers more devices but no data or sync (though we can use Bluetooth for that).
- Gomadic charges PDAs and Smartphones, and enables data.
