Likwid Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Those are great! Would be a great option for charging items. I'd rather have them interconnected from room to room but that requires a whole lot more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm not a USB expert at all..but aren't most/some devices going to require their own proprietary cable/adapter to be able to initiate the charge? Not a big deal...but it's worth noting if this is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
