Griffin has started shipping its $100 PowerDock 5 iOS charging station, originally introduced at CES earlier this year.
The dock contains USB ports and organizing separators to allow easy charging of up to five devices at once. The company is aiming the solution at families with many devices or small businesses. Each USB port provides 10 watts of power, allowing for maximum charging speed on newer iPads.

It doesn't take up much room, about the same as a single iPad. But it gives you a place to store and charge 5 iOS devices at one time, from a single power source. We think it's the perfect charging solution for small offices or work groups, or a family full of iPhone users.
PowerDock 5 gives each tablet its own charging port and its own clear backrest. Each charging bay is roomy enough to accommodate your iPhone, iPod or iPad in their cases. An illuminated status light tells when PowerDock 5 is powered up and ready to charge.
The PowerDock 5 is available from Griffin's website for $100.

not sure if the griffin one is portable but the i.sound docks let me charge 4 devices while camping for example, and are cheaper...
why is it that only huge companies that have close relationships with apple get publicity for products that have been in the marketplace for a while now?
like tile, there have been gps trackers with apps that do exactly what tile does for a long time, but just because they have a pretty video with a pretty girl and turn to kickstarter instead of financeers they get publicity and the others don't?
sorry to vent, more curious than anything else.
