Don't know how many of you out there have ditched the alarm clock like we have and now depend on your iPhone/Touch, Android mobile, or iPad now as your bedside morning alarm. But we'd definitely like to install dual U-Socket so we can keep our device(s) amply powered up so we don't miss our morning wake up.
The U-Socket is pending approval, but pre-orders are being accepted for $19.95 over at FastMac. Note this wall socket was designed not to be an energy vampire, so power is only transferred when USB device is plugged in, making it a energy-friendly upgrade!
Specifications:
- Input voltage: AC 100 to 240V 50/60Hz
- USB input current: 80mA
- Output voltage: USB: DC 5.0V 600mA
- Operation temperature: -15 to 45 Degrees Celsius
- Relative humidity: < 95%
- Air pressure: 86 to 106kP

While convenient, this device causes me to wonder if there is any surge protection for anything plugged into the USB ports?
fastmac was selling these for $10 not too long ago, what happened?
USB 2.0 is on its way out, anyway. by the time you get them and get around to installing them, you'll be staring at 3.0 devices on this very blog :)
