Dexim MHub Dock Station for iPhone/iPod Touch & Blackberry
Our latest product road test is on the Dexim MHub Dock Station for the iPhone, iPod Touch and Blackberry.
I really was impressed with the value for money you get straight out of the box.
In the box you get the docking station, AC adaptor, a travel bag (handy), a Micro USB cable 1.2m (Blackberry charging), 2 x Mini USB cable 1.2m (connect to Mac) and a USB AC charging cable for the dock.
The dock itself has 2 USB ports in the side, and also the very cool Hi-speed SD (MMC & HCSD compatible) card slot for those Canon cameras which OSX doesn’t seem to like (my Canon Ixus for example).
There are 3 lights on the front of the unit for card reader slot, iPhone/iPod light and a power light.
Pros: Great for travel, Small to pack up in the travel bag and throw in your suitcase. Charges and syncs your phone at the same time. SD card reader slot and 2 extra USB slots. It’s slim and silver in color. There’s a quick adjust lever at the bottom of the cradle to fit all your different models.
It can also charge Blackberry’s too (if you are that way inclined).
Cons: I couldn’t take my iPhone off the dock with 1 hand, as its quite a sturdy connection from iPhone to dock station. There’s possibly too many cables poking out, they could have made the connections at the back so the unit is a little neater, or have 2 options for the Mini USB side and back.
It’s possibly a little uglier than the Apple dock but that’s up to the owner.
Verdict: Great docking station, plenty of features, value for money, heaps of cables, great for travel. Fits in with the rest of gear plugged in at my desk.
The Dexim MHub Dock Station RRP is $149.00. Thanks to iWorld Australia.
