Who wouldn't like to charge their phone, I-Pad, I-Pod, etc. & still have 2 outlets left?

OK -- So last night, late at night (which technically makes it today in EST), I blogged that I'd be receiving the following:

 

I MADE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:

WHAT IS THIS FREAKY THING?  IT IS A REGULAR OUTLET THAT HAS TWO USB CONNECTIONS ON THE SIDE.

YOU CAN USE TWO OUTLETS, AND CHARGE TWO CELL PHONE OR AN I-PAD AND A CELL PHONE AT THE SAME TIME!

 

If you don't think this is hot stuff, you are lacking in that nerd factor and you should call the nerd in your office and tell them about it.  I guarantee there isn't one office doing significant business without a tech nerd.  And, this should be right up their alley.;

I told the customer service rep that I would push their product online, becuase I think it is the coolest thing I've seen in years.  They said the following (more or less) "if you blog this on you post, and people put the word REALTOR IN THE NOTE SECTION, there wil be some worthile discount applied.

 

I am writing this just to be at my office tomorrow so I'll be present to pick up the 5 I've ordered.  Yes, I am a nerd.  I can't wait. 

PLUG YOU I-PHONE AN I-PAD IN TO CHARGE, WHILE STILL USING TWO NORMAL OUTLETS!!!

 

OH, YOU WANT A LINK - http://store.fastmac.com/product_info.php?products_id=458

 

iT'S A COMPANY THAT MAKES STUFF FOR MACS, BUT CAME UP WITH THIS ONE.

 

I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THEM - AND I PLAN BLOG AN HONEST BLOG EVERY DAY BEFORE & AFTER THE PRODUCT ARRIVES.  IT WILL BE INSTALLED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF ME OPENING THE BOX, BUT IT ISN'T HERE YET.  I AM IN NERD HELL.   I told the people at this company they shoudl start putting them in surge protector / extension cords and they said they thought Belkin had already patented this tech.  Well, after 1.5 fruitless hours at Micro Center today, I can tell you they may have a patent pending, but they ain't go no product.


[Yes, I am aware thate ain't ain't a word.  I was just frustrated after looking through every single surge protector and extension cord in a Micro Center.   If you don't have one in your town, picture going to a Walmart or a Costco looking for a jar of peanute butter, but not knowing where to start.   Yes, it really wasn't fun. And, the sad part is, a) I don't own this CA company making the electic boxes; I have nothing to do with them and b) I didn't want a Belkin (or an extension cord from any other company).  I wanted an outlet with USB charger for nect to my bed, my kitchen, my kids room, etc.


Sunday, NO MAIL.  I'll let you know tomorrow.  If I get it, I'll have someone take photos while I do the install.

That is amazingly cool, I look forward to your receiving.  I thought I was in heavan when I discovered a usb that had multiple plugin's.  I am not nerdy enough to know the name, it just reminds me of the extension outlet I use at Christmas with three usb ports hanging off of one place.  I also went bananas when someone told me about June Fabrics... I love my iPad2 but with with no MLS it is challenging, now I have internet everywhere but my honking huge computer. have not convinced my husband sufficiently I need a travel size computer.  I am glad to see someone else dreaming of usb cords and outlets!
