NewerTech Media Coverage Newstips Review 2: Power2U
The NewerTechnology Power2U is a grounded (3-prong) duplex AC wall outlet (we recommend installation by a professional electrician for most end-users) that also incorporates an internal DC converter to provide 5.2VDC at 2A to a pair of spring-shutter-covered USB power ports. The shutters also turn off the power to an unoccupied USB port. You can still end up with a lot of wires plugged into one place but you get to skip the bulk & drain of a couple of wall warts. Bottom line: the NewerElectronics Power2U grounded AC plus selectively engaged USB power ports delivers both modern power standards to one appropriate place.
