USB power outlets for the home

We have USB outlets on our computers, we have them on our new HDTVs, we even have them in our cars.
Why the heck don’t we just put ‘em right into the wall?

For $10, you can do just that. True Power will ship these bad boys in 2010, which allow for two USB charging ports alongside two traditional U.S. three-prong power plugs.

 

That is actually pretty freaking cool. I could use one of those. Although, I could also buy the $1.50 adapter from eBay. Or just charge it on my computer.

If my local box store had these, I would get one. Not going to order one though.

 

True, $10 & shipping wouldn't be practical for the most part.

This would be something good to install in a new house build. Maybe one in most every room type setup. For the future.
