How many gadgets do you have that recharge via USB? Sure, you could just plug them into your PC, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a wall outlet that accommodated your recharging needs? Well now you can have just that, without the need for a plug-in adapter. Check out this TruePower UCS power socket. It uses the same connections as your existing outlets, so it’s just a matter of swapping one out for the other.

At $10 a pop, it might be worthwhile to invest in a couple. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait until sometime next year for it to ship.

  1. Does the socket its self consume any power? Does it have a surge protector to protect the device attached to the USB? Is it 5 v? Can I stick my tongue in it?

  2. While it could be useful right now, it won't be in a few years when everyone's electronics are using USB 3.0, which draws more power and has an elongated plug that won't fit into legacy sockets.
