Its smaller than others, but I've seen similar in various travel mags

Did you see the concept video posted a while ago?
It showed a pretty cool feature that allowed it to be plugged into special multi-gang extensions while still folded up, saving quite a bit of space.

Depending on the patent/licencing, I can see this being the de facto standard fairly quickly.

Looking forward to seeing these on the end of my wires :). They're such a clever idea, but something so utterly simple.
