Power-Strip Extender Means You’ll Always Make Friends
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Today's Chili
I’m somehow drawn to power-plug solutions the way electricity is drawn the the very earth beneath us. I can no more pass up the chance to bring you the latest way to simplify the powering of gadgets than my own mother could pass up the chance for one more chipped teacup full of gin. So it makes me happy to show of this ultra-simple, one-trick power-strip from Elecom.
The “T-ACTAP Series” (what?) is a range of sockets which slide betwixt a standard AC power-cord and the computer power-brick into which it normally plugs. You can choose a two-prong or a three-prong, depending on the cables you have, and the little block adds either one or two extra outlets to the setup.
Why? For sharing. With this tiny widget in your bag, you no longer need fear the sight of full power outlets at the coffee shop as your laptop battery coughs up its last few milliamps. Instead, you can approach the most attractive computer user in the place and offer them a two-way. Ingenious.
The smallest unit costs ¥1,400 ($15), rising to ¥1,900 ($20) for the biggest. Available now, in Japan.
Be able to overcome the shortage outlet! [Elecom via Oh Gizmo!]
