I am looking for a 7 port USB splitter for my mackbook pro. It must be..

-externally powered
-be able to charge my iphone 3g when when the splitter is not connected to the laptop (and when the unit is later plugged into the computer, it will sync and continue charging)
-as fast as possible

Anything that is able to do this?

Just get an externally powered USB hub! That should do the trick!

Go to Hubs - Networking and search there. My preference would be for the Cyberpower or Targus brand, both of which can be positioned vertically. If you'd like a real 'fun' one, take a look at the LaCie Huby.

Dang it

I don't need a 7 port hub, I have one from Staples that was $35 Cdn. and has worked non stop for 3 years but that Lacie... I am dying to know what the flower petal kit looks like that it comes with.
