Another Kind of Hotel Charging

Everyone is traveling with laptops, cell phones, iPods, and  digital cameras, but who ever remembers to bring a plug adaptor to a fancy hotel overseas?

The world isn't only slender 120 volt plugs: down under prongs are angled, and Euro-prongs are cylindrical, and well that's just the beginning.

Good thing travel adaptors are widely available at airports and some hardware stores. But to save oneself the hassle, check out this one:

The Go!con W can change the form of the power supply plug of every country in the world into the form of a global plug. $28 worth of world-wide charging. Easier than a rubix cube, but just as fun to play with.

Note: It doesn't change the voltage-- so check your equipment regulations before using!
