Dexim MHub mixes up an iPod dock with a USB hub

We're actually sort of surprised that we haven't seen many more iPod dock / USB hub / card reader hybrids, but the Dexim MHub here is the only one we can recall seeing apart from the Griffin Simplifi. At a steep $70, it's certainly not the cheapest way to add three USB ports and an SD card reader, but it certainly does look nice. Should be on sale now.

"At a steep $70"
That's nothing for someone with a MacBook Air.

It's great for an MBA user because they would definitely need a USB hub

useless peace of trash

I picked up a couple from Woot too. They work great and, except for the lack of a card reader, is one of those rare perfect all-in-one gadgets. Too bad the front LEDs are so bright I had to tape them up with electrical tape so they don't blind me at night.

I got one as well, but it seems to no longer work...been looking around for a replacement.

[Richard Lai @ May 9th 2009 4:56PM]

We definitely could do with more of these devices. I recently got hold of the classic Belkin TuneSync iPod USB hub and I thought it was the only one of its kind: http://www.everythingusb.com/belkin_tunesync_for_ipod.html

Yeah I have that - it was only 5 quid too which is a great deal. Not fussed in having a card reader too but having a powered hub with iPod attachment makes this a good desktop accessory for me.

[Sneakz @ May 9th 2009 5:15PM]

Yeah, I have the Belkin TuneSync too. It doesn't have the card reader though but it was a great buy at $20.

[Eric Foor @ May 9th 2009 5:28PM]

I don't see the point of having an iPod dock. My iPod cord and the iPod laying flat on it's back works fine for me. Would anyone care to explain the incredibly benefits of a dock please? Thanks in advance.

..it only takes one hand to hook your phone up.. so the other one's free?

[Richard Lai @ May 9th 2009 6:21PM]

Better viewing angle, no need to fiddle with plug and also saving space (especially with these USB hub hybrids)?

[radiumx @ May 9th 2009 5:42PM]

I like my griffin simplifi really, but this looks cool too.

[Galley @ May 9th 2009 6:57PM]

I scored a Simplifi directly from Griffin recently for $30 shipped. It's great.

Why does everything has to be aluminum nowadays?

[Zandr @ May 9th 2009 7:14PM]

The big win for the TuneSync and likely it's kin, is that it will charge when your laptop isn't there, and sync when it is, without faffing about with cables.

[Guru @ May 9th 2009 7:27PM]

What no USB dock for cowon or bb nokia htc etc,.
iPhone gets the best accesories another reason for huge success

[Phoenix @ May 9th 2009 7:58PM]

HTC has tons of USB docks...

[Setnev @ May 10th 2009 3:47AM]

Blackberry's have docking stations too.

[AndrewNoNumbers @ May 9th 2009 8:36PM]

Cool! It comes with miniature USB and AC cords.

[Gofthick @ May 9th 2009 8:50PM]

Either I'm reading the image wrong, or that's one gigantic iPhone/dock.

[Bakkoda @ May 9th 2009 9:11PM]

Hey another generic dock/hub device. Yay?

[BB @ May 9th 2009 11:09PM]

They're blowing out iSimplifi at Best Buy for 25 bucks

[ama2919 @ May 21st 2009 4:59PM]

thank you

[superhobo @ May 10th 2009 9:20AM]

Apple will cause the extinction of aluminium.

[loocas @ May 10th 2009 10:31AM]

$70? ... as long as it's "Apple white", the fans don't care... I say, make it $150 and call it iSpecial, they'd still buy it...

[brie @ May 10th 2009 11:19AM]

The new " iRobu " @ $250
