FastMac is introducing quite an interesting gadget for those geek homes: The first outlet with USB 3.0 included as well as 10watts charger for iPads.

U-Socket provides two 10watts outlets, thinking mainly for iPad devices and others with similar capabilities; but also gives us the possibility for USB 3.0 support. USB ports are indeed universal connections and charger for thousands of devices, going from game controllers to shaving machines; so having USB outlets in our homes does sound like a great idea.

But even more, since the U-Socket use USB 3.0 we could use it also to create our own USB network.

The availability of the U-Socket is just around the corner since almost all the tests are practically done; Energy Star already approved this outlet for home use. The cost? $19.95.
