Greetings all. I'm glad to see so much in depth conversation about this topic.
I have to say that I have been working on a similar design (minus the 90 degree turn-off option) for the past 3 years. My company is in the process of developing a consumer office supply product called a S.L.I.P. Strip ™(Sliding Lockable Inline Power strip)
We have secured a provisional patent for the product and received a PIES evaluation from the WIN center (http://www.innovation-institute.com) for it as well. From its evaluation, the S.L.I.P. Strip ™ received 85% likelihood of success, scoring a high mark on 38 out of the possible 45 criteria. I would be great to get your honest feedback. You can take a look at a CAD animation here: http://www.capitalmindz.com/slipstrip.html
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
