I have to admit, this is totally bad ass. I'm so replacing the outlet next to my bed with one of these so I don't need a charger for my phone anymore, which is also my alarm clock. :laugh:

takes up a plug, this one you can charge without having to take up a plug or use a bulky surge protector.

This item is currently waiting on final safety approval.

Nope, not yet.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Feb 1, 2011

I totally want at least 1 for every room of the house.

Well then I love the concept but until it gets UL approval I wouldn't mess with these things. DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!

I know the difference, I'm just saying I'd rather use one of these things I've got; I have extra-stupid friends that will try and plug thier memory stick in there to copy something onto my PC :laugh:

Interesting idea, but my Motorola phone will not charge from a USB plug without specific USB drivers from them installed. Maybe won't work for everything. Just a heads up.

Which phone? My Razr was the same way when connected to a computer, but it would work with those USB charger like what was posted earlier. I'm going to assume they just figured out a way to combine the USB chargers that are readily available into a wall outlet.

In my country shipping times are 1-3 days , if i don't get what i ordered in 3 days , i start calling, a lot of people are quite unpatient and we really don't have time to wait a month for a pair of headsets, yeah they need to be fast.

For example , i never had a good mousepad and the wood was killing my mouse really , the pointer was so jump , finally i had enough (like 2 years lol) , and ordered Roccat Taito mouse pad , got it the next day

USBs , now i gonna try the new usb on/off charge from gigabyte (just got an new pc > office pc for family)

So what else than just ipad or iphone can be charged by 3x , laptop , notebook ? ... a huge variety of new UBS SUPER GADGETS !! , i guess the device has to be 3x compatible too , no not at all, i don't see a reason.

I doubt that outlet has a "3x power" USB , since it's patented by Gigabyte ?? .. not sure if usb can even be.
