Sure it’s compact and gorgeous but there also a neat feature: it pivots. By pivoting, the charger lets you slide your device into place without wrangling. Also, since you’re charging straight from the wall socket you’re getting more power delivered to the device and that means a faster recharge than if you bond it to a USB port on your PC. Oh, and since it’s mounted to the outlet it also means your iPhone/iPod won’t be on the counter the next time you drop a bowl of Cocoa Puffs. Not that you’ve done that, have you?

Socialnomics charts this shift from the forefront.
