When was the last time you needed to charge something that didn’t require connecting a USB cable to some sort of funky dongle and then hooking it into the wall? The only thing we can think of off the top of our heads is the charger for our cordless drill. Droids, iPads, iPhones, even AA and AAA batteries can all be charged using USB. It only makes sense then that this ubiquitous charging standard would be available without the use of something called a dongle… and now it is. With these USB Wall Outlets from Fastmac and a little bit of elbow grease you can replace the outlets in your place with ones that are fit for the 21st Century, USB powered world that we live in. Dongle might be a fun word to say, but we have more important things to use those outlets for—like charging our drill.
