Hasta La Gadget!

Here’s a handy little device I wish I packed for this year’s CES. The Flipower from Taiwanese company, Power Tech, features a USB slot. The device plugs directly into a wall outlet and lets you charge up USB gadgets while a normal three-pronged plug is plugged into the socket. Consider the device something of portable power strip, handy for the traveler running low on computer ports and hotel room outlets.

Not a lot of information on the availability of the device, though the company did manage to score a 2010 Innovations Award from CEA, so it likely won’t be too difficult to get some distribution in the States.
