Remember when “chatting” involved a receiver comfortably nestled between your chin and shoulder while you paced the kitchen, tethered by a springy coil that was fun to wrap around your finger?

Talk Dock iPhone charger on Cool Mom Tech

If not, congratulations on not having eye wrinkles yet. If so, welcome back. Now you can chat just like that, but while charging up your fancy phone.

The Talk Dock is a combination phone dock, charging station, and receiver, not to mention a fantastic conversation starter.

Its charger is compatible with the iPhone 4, 4S, or 5, but any phone with a headset port can use it if you’ve got a 3.5mm audio jack. The receiver also detaches, like the Pop Phone Headset, so you can take it with you, avoid that pesky radiation, and reclaim your ability to chat with no hands. No batteries required.

Bonus: I won’t be able to misplace my sleek, tiny phone when it’s attached to a big neon green receiver with a curly cord. Maybe the 80s were onto something after all.-Delilah
