This is one power conversion for two devices. It's efficient. It buggs me that the three USB hubs on my desk require three power bricks instead of one with three cables. I was going to ask if anything like this existed but Engadget answerd that before I could. I'm still hoping to find a unit with more ports. You see, I bought some charging station thing at CompUSA that has sliders to configure it to grip your cell phone, GBA, MP3 player, etc on top of the unit with all the chargers safely stored inside (only a small tail of a wire sticking out). Unfortunately, it's short and it doesn't have many outlets. But that's not really a problem, because I have USB chargers for most of my devices that use the generic charging "dock." I even have an adapter that adapts one USB charger to charge my DS, DS lite, GBA SP, and GB micro... Funny. I mean, how many people actually have so many redundant devices? I guess I'm not Nintendo's only b!tch if they can actually sell this. If only my RAZR didn't require a proprietary charger or driver to charge through the mini-USB. :( Now, when I was going to ask about one plug that can charge multiple USB devices, I thought about plugging in a powered USB hub with no host PC. Would this work? Sounds a little better than buying a few of these.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Julian Emmett Turner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 8th 2006 1:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on USBACH01 charges a pair of USB gadgets at once]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/usbach01-charges-a-pair-of-usb-gadgets-at-once/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/usbach01-charges-a-pair-of-usb-gadgets-at-once/</guid><description><![CDATA[i don't understand why a watch is usb...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[calvin Matthews]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 8th 2006 4:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on USBACH01 charges a pair of USB gadgets at once]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/usbach01-charges-a-pair-of-usb-gadgets-at-once/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/usbach01-charges-a-pair-of-usb-gadgets-at-once/</guid><description><![CDATA[What ever happened to originality?
