Multiple iPad Mini Sync/Charge

Question

Will this http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eecf/ Sync/Charge 26 iPad Minis? i will be using a 2.3 GHz Retina MBP with Apple Configurator to Sync them.

Answer 1

The Mondo hub shows an output of 4A.  If you have 28 devices plugged into it, it will provide less than 143mA per port (probably less because the device itself uses some power).
That is a LOT less than what is required to charge iPad minis which need at least 1A.  In fact, it is a lot less than you need for most standard USB devices, which assume 500mA for a standard port.  Hubs like this are not made to provide charge current, but this one has so little that, with more than 8 devices, even syncing might fail spectacularly because it is so underpowered.
For the kind of application you want, you should really get something more professional, such as the hubs sold by Datamation Systems.  Just look them up on-line. I think some are even available on Amazon, but they have other choices that may not be there.  They are more expensive but they assure 2.1A and the right kind of sync current for every port, which is enough for iPads as well.
