USB 4 port charger
Looking for a good yet inexpensive 4 port wall charger for charging a house full of iPhones and iPads.
Most reviews on Amazon say they are junk except for pricier versions. I have plenty of cords so just looking for a device that can plug into a 110v outlet with multiple usb cords coming out. Common complaints are that the devices will charge 1 or 2 phones just fine but fall short of 3-4 even though there are 4 ports.

Nevermind, found this one on Newegg for $29 which appears to charge multiple iPads.
Ended up ordering from Amazon for $15. Rosewill 2 Amp 4 Port USB International Traveling Wall Charger RUC-6181 for iPhone/iPod/iPad/MP3 Amazon.com: Rosewill 2 Amp 4 Port USB Wall Charger RUC-6181 for iPhone/iPod/iPaq/MP3: MP3 Players & Accessories

I looked for a one piece multicharger that had iPod and micro USB connectors. Nothing seemed to do it at a pricepoint that would allow me to saturate my workplace with enough (10-12) so that they would stay put and be handy to have at various workcenters. THey would need to be one piece - to stay in .....one piece. I guess the developers and I don't think alike.

I would use a power bar and a number of individual chargers.

Would a powered USB hub work? Or do they not draw enough current? I have this 7-port belkin hub, and the power adapter lists the output as 5V, 3.5-3.8A. I have 5 things plugged into it at most times, but only one (my phone) is charging a battery.

One thing to watch, some of the products don't charge from any USB outlet.

Roswell makes decent products for the price. I have an external enclosure that was made by them and I have no complaints.
