Unlike power pads, the Quirky Converge is a docking station that attractively displays your devices like a mini showcase while charging up.
The Quirky Converge dock hides away USB wires in its elongated, curved design, making it look minimalist, clean and sleek. Multiple gadgets sit comfortably in place in the traylike display while getting a boost of power. Bottom-connecting devices like the iPhone and iPad are most suited for the front chargers. Flip over to the other side and you'll see that the back comes packed with four more power ports to juice up gadgets with side connectors (like cameras and MP3 players) in need of USB wires.
That makes a total of six outlets that the Quirky Converge offers for the gadgetry geek at heart.
