I recently purchased a MacBook, and I would like to get a USB hub which I can use with the computer when I am using it as a "desktop" with an external monitor and so forth.
I have quite a few things I'll need to attach to it -- a keyboard, a mouse, digital camera -- and my iPhone.
Does anyone have a USB hub that they would recommend for use with an iPhone?

The most affordable and highest-rated 7-port USB hub you can get. I have one of them for all my USB needs at home. I've had supposedly better USB hubs (like the Belkin one that blends in with Macs, sort of) that cost a lot more but wind up cutting out all the time. That D-Link has been rock-solid, has tons of ports, is powered (a must for charging iPods/iPhones and attaching hard drives), and is really affordable.

I tried using the IOGEAR GUWH204Kit Wireless USB Hub (How cool would things be if I can sync my Iphone wirelessly after plugging it into a cradle that charges it in the mean time!!!!) to try connecting the iphone wirelessly. All I got was a stupid error in ITunes saying that there was some problem connecting to the device (To add to the wounds, it said, Unknown Error). I hastily returned the product before my return date expired [It did not work with my logitech webcam either, although the promise was that it could work with Mobile Devices and Webcams. No product can suck more!]
Is there any Wireless USB product mature enough to handle an iphone wirelessly and at the same time, charge it for use the next day?
