This Pop-Up Socket And USB Charger Gets Out Of The Way When Not In Use
You’ve probably noticed: the number of mobile devices that need an occasional charge has skyrocketed over the last few years. From smartphones, to tablets and watches, everyone needs a charge from time to time. It’s a pain to outfit your home with more sockets, especially since they can be an eyesore when not properly integrated into your decor. But the Pop-up Socket and USB Charger changes that by popping out of view when you’re done charging. Just make the effort to cut a 102 – 105mm diameter hole on your countertop and wire it up. This particular model offers 3 x UK plug sockets and 2 x USB ports in an aluminium housing. It’s currently out of stock, but retails for $28.

Duracell Powermat announces 24-Hour Power System, we go hands-on (video)
Since Duracell and Powermat formed their wireless charging alliance late last year, we've seen the Powermat debut at CES and heard quite a bit about the company's vision for future battery tech. Today the company is unveiling a new charging system which, while not drastically different from the Powermat we've seen before, bundles a few useful products together. In addition to a Powermat for charging the iPhone or iPhone 4, the 24-Hour Power System includes a phone case (necessary for juicing a phone on the Powermat) and a portable backup battery with both microUSB and Apple connectors. The whole package will set you back $100, and it's available online and in NYC stores starting today. Though the system currently only supports the iPhone, the company says it will add compatibility with "an array of other leading smartphones" by this fall.
