Charge USB Powered Gadgets Directly From the Wall with U-Socket

Instead of charging the USB powered gadgets from the computers or from AC adapters, now there is a simple and efficient way of charging with FastMac's U-Socket in the wall as shown above.

U-Socket is a duplex AC receptacle with built-in USB ports that can power any device that is capable of being charged via a 5V power adapter, but without the need for the power adapter! When a U-Socket replaces a traditional 3-prong AC wall socket, you can eliminate the clutter of AC Adapters that stick out & take up space in your home or office.

FastMac claims if we charge the devices with the U-Socket rather than from the computer or AC adapters, we can save up to $25 per year. Another advantage is when the USB devices are not connected to U-Socket there is no surplus energy lost compared to the AC chargers when connected to the power outlets.

The U-Socket is priced at $29.95 each currently is on sale at $19.95.

This U-Socket will charge any USB powered devices such as iPod, iPhone, MP3, Sony Playstation, Digital Camera and others. Works with USB standards 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.
