I have a bunch of devices that I want to be able to charge at the same time, but I also want to be able to access the devices on my computer. I have so many cables that go everywhere and I want to consolidate a bit.
So I'm looking for a USB hub that I can attach to my computer (duh) that also uses a wall wart. The ones I've seen with wall warts only supply up to 3A which will simply not do with all the devices I want to charge.
Here's what I want to charge:
Ideally, I'd like to spend less than $20, but I don't know if that's possible. Is there anything around 5A that I could try?
EDIT: It looks like most hubs out there aren't designed to output 2A from any given port, even with the wall wart. Is that par for the course?

Here's what I want to charge:
* Tablet (Asus Transformer TF300T) (yes I know that using a third-party charger won't charge as fast)
* Phone (not a smartphone, so doesn't need to be 2A)
* 2-3x miscellaneous (such as my MP3 player)
