I agree the powercord on the cradle shold be detachable. But insted of
putting a plug into the power supply (I don't think the the plug should
be on the cradle) they should have made the powersupply with a USB plug

so what is the problem with buying a cheap extension cable and cutting
that one if you need to?
seems to me the most elegant solution.

I really hate electronic devices that come with non-detachable mains
cable. It always seems to me that the manufacturer in question was
trying to save a few cents at the expense of consumers' convenience.

There is no mains cable. The switching power supply plugs directly into
the wall outlet. The problem is the fixed cable between the molded PS
and the cradle.
The cord is way too short... And when using a regular e
Thanks for all of the advice, guys. For the time being, I simply placed
it somewhere else. And while I'm thinking about it, I do have another
gripe about the charger. It would be nice if there was a light on the
cradle that indicated when it was charging. You could even take it one
step further an

pass through the hole, reassemble again and you have best of both

be unplugged and moved at any time. Gee ...

I agree. Standing on top of children is an inappropriate response to
electronics damage. ;)

It is a shame the cradle doesn't use the same detachable power brick as
an existing Slim product.

How long is the cradle power cable actually? I need to position it
rather high so my little kid can't get to it.

I have to say, though, overall I really like the cradle. It's nice and
weighted, and has a nice look to it.
The little country-specific plug thingees onto the adapter is just
genius.

I think the cradle is pretty slick looking, but it really bugs me that
the power cord is not detachable. I was hoping to place the cradle on a
shelf on my entertainment center. Unfortunately, there is no way to
route the cord through a small pre-drilled hole in the wood if it
doesn't detach.
