Cordless Wall Charger for iPhone
Own an iPhone, where you originally purchased it to stand out from the rest of the crowd? Well, since everyone and their uncle already own an iPhone these days, how else are you going to differentiate yourself from the rest? Enter the $29.99 Cordless Wall Charger for iPhone, where this device offers fast iPhone and iPod charging thanks to its click and pivot mechanism.

Clickfree Transformer for iPod/iPhone
Transferring files, especially music ones, from your iPod or iPhone to a different computer isn’t exactly rocket science, but it isn’t elementary math either. Not to mention that if you ever want to make a backup of important files, the steps involved can get complicated for the newbie. Good thing devices such as the Clickfree Transformer for iPod/iPhone are here to help even the least tech savvy person transfer files from a computer to the iPod or iPhone’s excess storage space in a jiffy, taking the tried and true plug-and-play method. There isn’t any software to install or further setup to do, and to make things even more idiot proof, the Clickfree will never overwrite your iPod’s existing content since it will deal only with unused storage space. Expect to pay £39.99 for some peace of mind.
