The USB is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the most used connectivity options available to mankind. The Japanese obviously agree as Thanko, those wild USB device aficionados, have just devised an “80 port USB charger board”. The board’s power source supplies electricity from the electrical outlet (AC100V) and the output to each port is about 80mA, possibly more. The AC cable length is approximately 52cm. Now the big question – Why? Why would anyone want a multiple USB charger or hub for that matter with 80 ports? Me thinks Thanko just happened to have a lot of left over devices that didn’t sell and a lot of time on their hands so this was born. It’s priced at about $164.
