NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter Review

Well, this is a new role for me - A Product Reviewer, but in this case, I really need to share this with you. It answered my dilemma about being able to charge my iOS5 devices in a "safe" and efficient way. Look at the picture above. At first blush it looks like a normal 2 outlet wall outlet, but notice the two additional USB charging ports. By installing these outlets in select locations in your house, you can literally plug, play & charge anywhere.

I installed one unit to do a quick evaluation, and immediately got hooked. The quality of the unit is top-notch (beware of imitations) and the price has been reduced. Couple that with OWC's Newer Technology reputation and you have a winner. One thing I need to caution you about - that is be sure to follow the installation instructions concerning the dressing of the wiring inside the standard outlet box. Space is very limited and a mislaid wire can make the outlet hard to seat into the box - but have no fear - it will fit.
