They Took My Idea – USB Power Strip
About three weeks ago I started the process to design a USB power strip where the device would be a dumb down version of a USB hub…it only gives power. The reason why I wanted to design something like this was for the infinite number of USB items I have. Just in my house alone, we have 3 iPhones, one Flip Video camera and two blue-tooth headsets…all powered and recharged by USB. So enter, stage left, my thought of a USB power strip. Well, Elcom was thinking the same thing, but only months earlier! They have officially released the USB for port power strip and the 7 port USB power strip. Clearly I think the idea is simply brilliant. Elcom includes LED lights for each port to show if a device is active or not. They include a switch to flip On or Off that particular port and last, Elcom gives you some clear labels [in English] to label what cable is going to which device. The 4 port USB power strip is $40. The 7 port USB power strip is $110. Both are available at Geek Stuff 4 You. Page.Tags: elcom, usb power strip
