It’s the USB ports that set it apart from the Targus and the Monster device. I just carry a $3 three way splitter (http://tinyurl.com/686wy7 ), but the ability to combine a USB charger and power strip is tempting.

I prefer the VEC414s? which is similar to above but DC-driven and smaller in case. Includes air adapter too.

I also like my Tumi universal charger and of course a micro usb hub and various usb cables: xune, N800, S9/820 bt headsets, holux gps, 8525.

I’m not understanding vendor proprietary charging solutions when usb works just as well and is standard.

Only freaky thing is sometimes you need sync cable or charge-only cable when going off of hub. Also sometimes similiar devices (usb rechargeable batteries by targus and apc) don’t recharge the same way over usb.

Targus has a similar product that I picked up at Amazon recently (and incidentally saw at Fry’s for $17.99 last weekend). Unfortunately neither product seems suitable for international travel, as they are limited to 110V input.
