Now This I Like...

I have to admit that I want one of these....

Simple but an extremely good idea.

Simple but effective. Would be a cool shape for the power sockets too

That really is one of those things where you just slap yourself on the forehead for not coming up with it, so simple but totally brilliant.

Neil - could I have one of these for BSN1 please?

I saw this on the BBC News just now, very inventive and top marks. Now we just have to get laptop makers to go for a standard socket design and transformer ... isn't it pretty soon that telephone chargers will start to conform?

Rotate the pins is great.
It's the "open the cover" bit I find strange.
The volume then left available for connections is very small.
So is it possible to fix this onto existing leads or will it be available in moulded form only?

Cool idea!

And I thought my SlimPlug was neat...

Fantastic idea - the only trouble is, knowing the U.K. it will take at least 5 years to get it on to the market!
