We technology lovers are often faced with power outlet conundrums that kill our productivity, if not break our geeky hearts.

Rejoice, oh gadget junkies, for the power outlet of the future has come, hailing from True Power. It costs just under 10 bucks, and starts shipping in early 2010 (which is just a few short weeks away) — but you can pre-order now. So what makes this outlet so much greater than all the rest? Simple: two USB ports.

Now you can plug in USB-powered devices — think iPhones, iPods, PDAs and digital cameras — alongside your standard UCS powered devices. As Gizmodo puts it, the USB power outlet is a “no-brainer.”
