SplashPower
Any trip that might require cameras, computers, mobiles or audio recorders requires a number of power chargers and, if you're going to foreign climes, adaptor plugs. What's needed, many argue, is a universal standard, according to Simon Perry for The Guardian .
"SplashPower hopes it has created it. It has developed a charger that uses electromagnetic induction to pass electricity from a charging plate to any suitably equipped device placed on it."
Perry ads in his own blog Digital-Lifestyles.info, that SplashPower has expanded their range of pads to include one that charges two devices and a smaller travel-friendly version. And interesting, "two posh hotel chains, the Penninsular and Radisson Mayfair, are planning to build the SplashPad's into the bedside units, so the execs can sleep soundly knowing their mobiles will be fully charged in the morning.
