Anyone who owns a mobile phone or other small rechargeable device will own a wall charger. Once the device dies, odds are the new one will have yet another charger, leaving you with an old one with no use. The major players in the mobile phone industry have recognised this fact and have standardised their charging ports, and as of next year, many phones will come without chargers.
The sockITz range of power points combine an Australian Standard dual 240 volt power point with twin USB powered charging outlets for charging mobile devices. The inbuilt USB sockets are completely powered off until you slide the socket cover to the side. They then power up and a LED comes on inside the socket so you know it’s working. The USB sockets can provide up to 2 amps, which is enough for any portable device on the market that is designed for USB charging.
RRP: $37.95 but currently available on pre order for $24.95. An illuminated Apple or micro USB cable is available for $19. The aluminium finish wallplate model is $2 more.
