Charge and sync your iPhone or iPod without losing a USB port. The Kensington PocketHub 3-Port USB and Sync lets you stay connected to your peripherals while charging and syncing your iPhone. The PocketHub has a built-in 30-pin connector port that lets you charge and sync your iPhone or iPod, plus 3 additional USB 2.0 ports for connecting your camera, flash drive, mouse and other USB devices. The PocketHub can also function as a stand-alone charger for your iPhone or iPod with the supplied power adapter. Protective travel cover included.

Terrific solution for travel or desktop use . I have many USB hubs, iPod docks, and combination hubs and docks. Each seems to have a shortcoming: not enough current to charge/operate multiple devices, doesn't allow syncing with certain Apple products, etc. This one appears to do it all, not a hiccup in the weeks I've had it.
It is also handy that the USB cord folds into the body of the hub, and a slip-on cover neatly tucks the entire device into a smooth shape. If you're like me, nothing is more annoying than reaching into a drawer or pouch with knotted up cables... this bypasses that issue altogether, packs away neatly.
The current output of the hub's power supply (it can be used without, if desired) is enough to charge my iPhone, run an LED-illuminated keyboard (uses two USB plugs for power), and my thumbdrive-of-the-day. That's no easy feat, as the LED keyboard has caused my other hubs to shut down prematurely.
Purchased at what I think is a reasonable price, I am considering getting a second one.

Kensington Pocket Hub 3-Port USB and Sync Travel Hub for iPod and iPhone Reviews
Short cable little support . Just received it. Seems to work as described. A couple of caveats for other purchasers: (1) The cable is just as short as it looks in the photo--for most uses, you are likely to need a USB extension cable. (2) The phone is supported only by the connector when mounted in "portrait" orientation (you can also turn it sideways, in which case the phone is supported mostly by the desk). This may be good or bad: it might be compatible with a (thin) iPhone case (although there is not much clearance at the bottom), but you will need to treat it gently to avoid stressing the connector.

Kensington Pocket Hub 3-Port USB and Sync Travel Hub for iPod and iPhone Opinions
works but. . . . . So I bought this product for around $30. It does work charging my iphone 4 and also providing powered usb ports. However I bought this product hoping to charge multiple iphones at once. While the main dock does work (I didn't try syncing though) the usb ports will NOT work with my Apple brand usb iphone 4 cable that came with the phone. I did have success with a 3rd party cable so it might be an Apple thing. Just a little warning for those hoping to charge multiple iphones on it.

Perfect so far . I was a little worried by the reviews for this product, but I bought it anyway because it's exactly the setup I was looking for.
I've been using the product for a couple days and so far it's been excellent. I can use it with an external USB drive and my iPhone 4 charging at the same time, WITHOUT plugging in the power adapter and it works great. And I am using it over a 6 foot USB extension cable.
I will update this review in the future if it stops working or has any problems, but so far I am very glad I purchased it.

Cons Review
The Kensington PocketHub is complete garbage. . I've never been a fan of Kensington, but calling this product complete garbage is too complimentary. Seriously, this ranks as one of the worst USB hubs that I've owned in my entire life.
I purchased the device from my local Apple Store at a whopping $39.95 --- what overpriced garbage! The device seems convenient as it gives you three extra USB ports plus the ability to dock and sync your iPhone. Does it work? Not a chance in hell. Despite the fact the product comes with the AC charger to keep the USB hub powered, not a single device would work in here that I tried. My Logitech G9x laser mouse? Overpowered it. My Logitech G35 headphones? Overpowered it. Seagate 2TB external hard drive? Overpowered it. Wait for it... wait for it... iPhone 4? Overpowered it. Not only that, it would fail in the middle of a sync! Wow.
I can't even.
Simply put: don't purchase this item.
