International USB chargers


Credit: Mobile Fun

Charging your mobile device when visiting another country requires a power point adapter — one more thing to carry — actually it can be several things as more than one adapter may be required, depending on which/how many countries you are visiting. The device shown above covers it all in one device.

● dual USB outputs let you charge two devices at once
● transforms into adapters for the EU, US, Australian, New Zealand & UK sockets
● all-in-one — no small parts to get lost
● over-current/over-temperature/short-circuit protection
● input: 100-240V
● output: 5V, 1.3 Amp (single) & 0.650m Amp (dual)
● continue to use it after you get home

Problem is the USB output current: while it will charge a typical phone — two phones or a tablet will be much slower.

Not the same device, but apparently the same functionality &, most importantly, 2.1 Amp output, so it will charge your tablet too:
