    Clever working. Looks very handy. Think I'll have to get a couple of them when it comes out. Forever scratching stuff in my bag with the three pronged bas*ard

    Really surpised to see it's taken this long for Apple to roll out something like that.

    Looked into it last night & there's a couple of different types of folding plug on the market. There's one called the "slimplug" Which appears to come with a moulded cable pre attached, which pretty much renders it useless for apple products, this is the only one to be approved to safety standards:

    There was also supposed to be one from a UK company which despite winning a design award didn't get off the ground:

    They did release a USB version which looks decent but has a slightly protruding prong & is £15
