Unfortunately it looks like it is just for power, so I wonder if there is a call for such a device.

Was interesting enough to point out, but who could really use it? A device manufacturer who wanted to charge units before shipping?

I can't see me throwing it into my notebook case for traveling :-)

Cheers Don...

Certainly. The company probably made it for an in-house application and figured, hey this might be useful to someone else. I've had to power almost that many 5V devices before. Normally it's screw terminals and a big arse bench supply though, but I can see the benefits of using this thing and off the shelf USB cables.

I'm sold on it :)

"USB terminal 80 is something that when viewed from the side of the port in line, you feel powerful and somewhat like a soldier in the army.........Why do not you call out excited just thinking about what else?"

Add to that that the USB port is slowly becoming (to the consumer) a de-facto +5v power socket, with USB socketed +5v plugpacks, Car cigarette lighter inverters sometimes have a couple of +5v USB sockets on them as well as the 240v socket. Phone charger cables are available that plug to USB to charge.

In time, the USB socket will likely become a universal +5v supply source (without data lines) for just about every consumer gadget, just as the car cigarette lighter socket has become a standard 12v power socket for anything and everything.

The 500ma limit of a normal USB port might be a problem in some applications, but this is more than enough for most gadgets out there, and definitely enough for charging batteries used in most portable devices.

Jinglish I think! There was a time when I spoke it like a native (working for a Japanese company)

It's not just convinience, it's the law. Many countries have passed laws that mandate use of Micro-USB sockets e.g. for phone chargers.
