USB Ports Will Change the Way You Charge

December 6, 2009 in Technologic with 8 Comments

I found this little gem via Mashable and thought it too awesome to not pass on to you:

What you’re looking at is a new power outlet developed by True Power that integrates two USB ports into a standard power outlet. This, in a word, is awesome.

I’ve already got a perfect spot for one of these picked out in my house. The outlet by my bedside is what I usually use to power my iPhone at night. No more adapters, just plug that baby right into the wall!

For those nervous about power usage and expensive electronics not mixing well, True Power offers this assurance:

Please also note that the USB ports only draw power when something is physically connected to the port. We didn’t want a vampire port that continually sucks and wastes power when not in use so this was one of the features on the top of our priority list during the design phase.

These start shipping in early 2010. You better believe I’ll be on the pre-order list!

    For realz. They can't get shipping fast enough! I think these will blow up … Not literally (I hope), but figuratively. Great product!
