Griffin Multidock
If you have 10, 20 or 30 iPads to maintain you will need a dock that can charge and sync multiple devices at the same time. Here is a solution from Griffin, the security element isn't the most secure but it does a good job of charging and syncing.
The last quotation I got for a 10 station unit was £410 ex VAT on 20/03/2012
