usb ports
The A/C adapters that come with your gadgets only charge one device at a time, and you need to buy extras if you want some permanently stashed in your go bag. The $20 RCA USB Wall Plate Charger turns one of your wall outlets into two USB ports, for a mini charging station anywhere in your home.
While electronics gurus can use something like the U-Socket to add USB ports to their wall chargers, those of us looking for a few extra USB ports can just use the RCA USB Wall Plate Charger. It doesn’t exactly add ports to your wall; it’s just a plate that plugs into your outlets and splits one of them into two USB ports. As such, though, it doesn’t require any extra wiring work, and it still gives you more charging ports than the little A/C blocks packaged with your smartphone or tablet. Plus, then you can keep those A/C blocks in your bag without having to buy extras for your home. And, at only $20 ($15 if you shop at Lowe’s), it’s more than worth the price.

Teenage Engineering introduces Oplab musical prototyping platform
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/23/teenage-engineering-introduces-oplab-musical-prototyping-platfor/
After finally getting the OP-1 up for order last January, Teenage Engineering is getting its second product to market — Oplab. The latest offering is meant to compliment its slick synth, but we can see plenty people falling in love with it on its own. The Oplab is a tinker kit and DIY platform, akin to Arduino or Microsoft’s .NET Gadgeteer, but designed explicitly for generating and manipulating sound. The main board, which retails for $299, is home to a trio of USB ports (two of them hosts), three MIDI connections (one in, one out and one sync) and a pair of CV in and CV out jacks. There’s also a bank of switches for changing settings and a host of connectors for plugging in various sensors. The Swedish company is offering a number of add-ons for $49 apiece: an accelerometer (Flip), a piezo microphone (Tap) and a pressure sensor (Poke). Strangely enough, there’s also a $149 a sneaker that has a rubber pouch that you can slip one of the aforementioned sensors into. Hit up the source link for more details and to order yours now.
