The most frustrating part of a gadget-filled life is keep them all charged up and ready to go. As a result, the second most frustrating part is keeping all of the cords in order! Just off the top of my head, I regularly use about four small devices (mobile phone, iPhone, iPod, PSP) that all make a big mess of cords on my desk. Organizing them with rubber bands is one thing, but having something stylish to handle it all would be ideal.
Designed by Takafumi Nemoto (pictured below), the Lessev Mobile Station makes “out of sight, out of mind” a reality.

All of the cords stay inside the container connected to a single power source, and all of your gadgets sit on top of the silicone lid which keeps the connection ends accessible without looking sloppy. This keeps your space looking happy and your gadgets protected from scratches.

It can also work with USB cables since only the box is included, so you can charge everything on your computer to save even more space during your daily (hourly?) syncs with the Mothership.

HOW INANE! It’s almost as brilliant as putting an extension cord/surge strip in a Tupperware container, punching a hole in the lid & feeding the device’s power cord thru?
I agree that all the varied and endlessly numerous power cords of modern life are annoying as hell. Glad someone’s trying to fix this. However, you can’t honestly tell me that’s anything but a glorified plastic tub! I don’t think I could bring myself to pay more than $5 for it.
I get the feeling these commenters use rocks, or ziploc bags full of sand for bookends and paperweights.
