If the theme of 2009 is hope, rejuvenation, and new beginnings, then Green Plug is definitely right on track.
Just prior to the new year, we announced a new partnership with Innergie - developers of the world's smallest universal power adapter - and the introduction of the first implementation of the Green Plug protocol: the Greentalk-enabled Innergie mCube90 (pictured).
Green Plug's Greentalk open system universal power interface enables any consumer electronics product to obtain power from any compliant external power adapter.
As GigaOm's earth2tech illustrates "The new adapter is green in two ways: it cuts phantom power usage because it matches each gadgets’ power needs, and because it works with a variety of consumer electronics, it allows manufacturers to skip making the bulky adapters that are sold alongside most consumer electronics.
Further at this week’s CES in Las Vegas, Green Plug showed off how to use its power adapter with a range of consumer electronics — from 5V cordless telephones to 19V flat panels — that would normally require numerous adapters and power cords to let them do their thing. A four-plug version is also in the works, which should cover the Best Buy of gadgets we roll with these days. "
The reality of a universal power adapter seemed to excite quite a few people - and we're certainly included on that list.
As always, we encourage you to let your voice be heard, and to take action by clicking to vote for universal power supplies - with all consumer electronic devices. It takes only seconds - just go to I Want My Green Plug.
Thank you!
