Rotaliana MultiBook disguises your chargers as a hardcover book

We were already fans of the Rotaliana MultiPot, which disguised a device-charging station and a lamp as a flowerpot, but we tend to charge our devices in the bedroom -- which means the company's new MultiBook is even more useful. Appearing at first to be just another hardcover book, the MultiBook opens to reveal several plug outlets and a lamp, and also features an alarm clock with a concealed display on the spine. That pretty much covers all the bedside bases -- but given the surprising violence with which we greet our alarm clock every morning, it might be best to keep all this stuff separate. Only available in a 220V version right now for €152 ($222), no word on when it might come stateside.

Pretty neat =)

I would get one....if it was about a fifth of the cost. For $222, the book would be worth more than the devices it charges.

At KML, For 222, what devices do you buy. Most cell phones cost over 200 easily, same with MP3 players and cameras.

For $222, it better already have the adapter built in!

Cool. Take that through airport security and watch the $3 per hour crack security squad freak out!

I smell a homebrew coming

*goes off to fine a book to gut*

What? Why? $222 for a powerstrip, LED lamp and clock in a book-like enclosure. I don't get it.

i wonder if the light would come on as the alarm rings
either way it would definitely unclutter my bedside table

hooray!

This is kinda cool

I would LOVE to see what happens to the hapless individual who runs this through a baggage scanner at the airport. Yes, you do get to go on the plane, but unfortunately your flight gets rerouted to Guantanamo.

Cool I think I'll whip one of these up myself. With the $222 I save I'll even be able to buy some awesome devices to use it with.

Oh ambivalence... I tend to like these clean-up solutions, yet they always give me bad thoughts about heat accumulation...

Does anyone know, what mobile phone model is shown on the picture? The black one... Looks nice!
