Parasync
by Parat Solutions

PARAT SOLUTIONS introduces Parasync, a charging and synchronization dock that has been approved by Apple to work with iPods or iPhones. Educators can simultaneously update content on up to 20 devices by connecting the dock via USB cable to a Mac with iTunes installed. They can then drag and drop content from the iTunes library onto individual devices, or set the application to sync the devices with the same content automatically-- no additional software needed. Since the Parasync is lightweight and covers the same amount of surface area as a sheet of paper, it fits easily on a classroom desk, shelf, or cart. Price: $980.
