USB outlet
http://lifehacker.com/add-usb-plugs-...-ch-1764716116
Here is yet another one that actually makes you give up a 120V outlet for 2 USBs. I would think a much better idea would be to design table lamps with a couple of outlets in the base. I think they could add an mp3 player to your microwave for music in the kitchen and another two places to charge your phone for a couple of bucks. |

It ends up being pretty handy because we can be charging 2 devices and still have both 120v receptacles available without wall warts and cube taps. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-1...-0BW/205092277 |

I would think a much better idea would be to design table lamps with a couple of outlets in the base. Been to any (decent) hotels lately? It's fairly common to have lamps with AC receptacles and USB ports. e.g. Courtyard By Marriott http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/med...y-marriott.jpg I think they could add an mp3 player to your microwave for music in the kitchen and another two places to charge your phone for a couple of bucks. For the amount that they would have to increase the price of the microwave produce anything close to decent sound, I'd buy a dedicated "music source" such as CD/Radio/Bluetooth device that hangs from the bottom of the upper cabinets. In fact, I did. |
