Hasta La Gadget!

USB chargers are dime a dozen these days, and there are just so many different models that one can take their pick from. However, once in a while, something that is different from the rest will stand out from the crowd, and this time around, trust the folks over at Scosche to come up with the Scosche superCUBE USB wall charger, where it is touted to be the smallest wall charger of its kind in the market!

This universal 12W (2.1A) USB wall charger might be up to 40% smaller compared to its closest competitor, but this does not mean that it is equally small on performance, either. In fact, the Scosche superCUBE USB wall charger is said to be able to juice up even the most power hungry tablets within the shortest time possible. After all, in this fast paced day and age, it makes perfect sense if you need your gadgets juiced up without having to wait too long, where feelings of frustration can then set in. The superCUBE will be compatible with both iOS and Android devices, where it makes use of intelligent charging circuitry in order to charge USB powered devices without paying regard of their make or model.

In what could be considered a relatively strange move, O2 has announced that an upcoming, unannounced HTC smartphone won’t come with a wall charger inside the box. According to the Euro carrier, this idea is part of a “simple vision” in which it wants “to take chargers out of boxes full stop,” adding that research has shown more than 70 percent of UK customers don’t have the need for such charger as they already own one with the same compatibility. The soon-to-be HTC device will, however, include a USB to micro-USB cable, so not everything will be completely lost. Now O2 didn’t give any fruitful details about which HTC handset it’ll be using to kick off the program, but we’ll let you know as soon as we find out.
