Surge Protector and USB Power

By Walt Sellers, on May 21st, 2010

As Seen on TWIT.tv !

I bought the Belkin “Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger”  at Home Depot recently.

I plugged it in on the wall in my room and I’ve been using it to charge my iPhone every night for a while. Its been marketed to travelers, but I like having here so I don’t take up a plug for the iPhone charger and no one runs off with it to power an iPad or something.

I did try it with an iPad, but the iPad just showed “Not Charging”.  I don’t know if the problem was the Belkin unit, or if it was the older iPod cable I was using.

Either way,  its pretty nice surge protection, mini power bar and USB power all in one.

Several places online carry it for less than Home Depot, if you are more patient than me.
