Bluelounge SpaceStation doesn't add space, just wraps cables

Ok, we have no idea why a USB hub tucked inside a long box with cable management clips would cost $80, but we won't deny the SpaceStation is a clever and useful, if bulky and even a bit unsightly accessory. You know what we could really use though? A power strip with USB-charger ports. Why the hell hasn't anyone made one of those? Yes, we demand royalties for these gems.

I think this product is way over priced.

I know we're only talking low power but isn't having wire coiled up whilst you have electricity running through it a bad idea?

It says it's a future product though.

I heard of this awesome new invention the other day... Little strips of plastic that you can use to bunch up your cables all nice and tidy. And they cost basically nothing.

What was this article about again?

Cale Safe is far better, doesn't trap cables in a box, and costs 1/2 as much.

Totally overrated and overpriced... It pains me every time I look at it on my desk. Good thing everyone thinks it does a lot more than it really does... :)
