Newer Technology, Inc. announced today it has lowered the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price by 25% for its Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet. Now priced at $29.95 MSRP with street pricing as low as $22.99, the Power2U is the only home-safe, UL Listed in-wall charging solution available to enhance living and working spaces by eliminating the clutter created by multiple cables and unsightly bulky power adapters.
Complements Any Decor
Ideal for homes with users of multiple USB chargeable devices, the Power2U blends seamlessly into any residential wall as a standard power outlet. By incorporating two traditional three-prong AC wall sockets in addition to two USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 ports, the Power2U is a basic ‘DIY’ install on any 15Amp circuit with a 16-cubic-inch electrical box. A “straightforward” rated “how to” video showing how the Power2U can be installed in as little as 20 minutes is available.
Money Saving, Energy Efficient
The new outlet provides a clean looking, modern, and centralized location for charging/powering USB devices. In addition to being convenient to use, the Power2U provides two energy efficiency features. The intelligent Smart Power design only outputs enough charging power to meet the requirements of the device that is attached. The specially designed spring-loaded Safety Shutters completely turn off power to the USB ports when a connecting cable is removed.
Patented Design & UL Certification Ensures Safe Home Use
Because the Power2U incorporates a patented integrated AC to DC power transformer design and is the only UL Listed in-wall solution of its kind, homeowners can install it with full confidence and no safety compromise.

- Patented design charges iPads, iPhones, iPods, Android tablets and phones, MP3 players, GPS, digital cameras, and other USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 chargeable devices without requiring a bulky adapter

I find the specifications unclear on one point. Can this supply 10W to each USB port simultaneously, or is that shared? More to the point, can I charge 2 iPads at full speed (10W each) from this at the same time?
10 watts shared. So you can charge one iPad or two iPhones at full speed simultaneously.
Pity. Maybe in v2.
