does this guy not know that the chargers supplied with your gadgets use a SMPS power supply that can take voltages from anywhere you might plug it in. 90-260 volts? unless you need to plug into some 400v feeder line, I don't see an issue.

huh??

the only time i've seen a wobbly plug is cause of a broken socket.  :angry:

uhm. kay. last i heard power plugs where all the same. (at least by region)... last I heard USB sockets where all the same. Last I heard as of 2010 all new cellphones where coming with microUSB.

sounds pretty standard to me.


--- Quote ---You could have wall sockets with built-in power cables. Imagine: A wall socket with a retractable Micro-USB connector sticking out of it. Just pull it out, stick it into your laptop/smartphone/tablet, and off you go. Salivating yet? I am.

guess this guy never thought this through...I'm not even going to bother with how stupid THAT particular statement is.

EDITED TO ADD:

i'd be happy with maybe a 5 amp power supply with a cord that comes up on my desk or table or whatever and has a terminal of say, 15 USB sockets. that way i can just plug in whatever and charge.
