USB power adaptor

    Being a bit of a gadget freak and a traveller I often find myself travelling around with about 5 power supply's - until recently when I realised that most of my gadgets could take power over usb from my laptop.

    So I was wondering if you could just get a plug adaptor/transformer with 3 pins on one side and 1 or more usb sockets on the other and outputting 5v (or whatever the usb voltage is). The idea being on the days I dont need my laptop I can just take this 1 plug to charge all my goodies.

    Anyone know of such a device - or should I patent it quick!!!

    I bought this, which does exactly that. It can make a bit of a buzzing sound, which is barely audible, but which is irritating if you are trying to sleep in the same room!
