Green plug is a company whose goal is to reduce energy and material waste from consumer electronics products and battery powered equipment. To this end, green plug sells embeddable power supply technology to manufacturers. Today's devices like laptops, printers, cameras, etc. require power converters that convert 90V and 254V wall power to device-specific DC power. The unique adapters and converters are expensive to make and waste energy, not to mention lead to a heavy load of assorted cables when you want to take your devices on the go with you. With the green plug technology, instead of unique adapters for every device, power requirements are read from the plugged-in device and the uniform cables and connectors deliver just the power that device needs, no more, no less. Green plug encourages device manufacturers to adopt its free-to-license universal connector and green talkTM protocol for electronic devices and start building devices that use a common connector. I encourage the manufacturers to do this too! Imagine a day when devices all used a common, power-efficient cable or cord! The first environmentally-friendly DC power hub will make its debut at CES 2008. I can't wait to see this!

Amazingly good if it works out to be cheap enough. I just can't see the company doing that well in the long run if they're so small- this sort of thing needs to be agreed upon by a gathering of large consumer electronic manufacturers- then Sony can come along and make a "Blu-Plug" which limits users to powering devices without rippers etc installed.
