June 26, 2012, Woodstock, IL - Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech®) <http://www.newertech.com>,
a leading developer of Macintosh®, PC, iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad® performance
upgrades and accessories, announced today it has lowered the Manufacturer's Suggested
Retail Price by 17 percent for its Power2U™ AC/USB Wall Outlet <http://www.newertech.com/products/power2u.php>.
Now priced at $24.99 MSRP with street pricing as low as $19.99, the Power2U is
the first home-safe, UL-Listed in-wall charging solution available to enhance
living and working spaces by eliminating the clutter created by multiple cables
and unsightly bulky power adapters.
Turns Walls into Charging Stations
Ideal for homes with users of multiple USB-chargeable devices, the Power2U is
available in four decorator colors to blend seamlessly into any residential wall
as a standard power outlet. By incorporating two traditional three-prong AC wall
sockets in addition to two USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 ports, the Power2U transforms an ordinary
wall into a modern, centralized location for charging/powering up to four devices
simultaneously.
Easy 20-Minute or Faster Install
The Power2U is a basic 'DIY' install on any 15Amp circuit with a 16-cubic-inch
electrical box. A “straightforward” rated “how-to” video showing how the Power2U
can be installed in 20 minutes or less is available at: <http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/nwt_power2u/>
Money Saving, Energy Efficient
In addition to being convenient to use, the Power2U provides two energy efficiency
features. The intelligent Smart Power design only outputs enough charging power
to meet the requirements of the device that is attached. The specially designed
spring-loaded Safety Shutters completely turn off power to the USB ports when
a connecting cable is removed.
Praised and Proven by Media and Consumers
While the Power2U only began shipping six months ago, it has captured broad praise
from professional media and consumers. Good Morning America called it 'brilliant';
and the Miami Herald named it 'gadget of the year'. After being installed and
used by over 150 Handyman Club of America members, Power2U received their highly
coveted Seal of Approval by earning a 92 percent approval rating. The Power2U
has also been named a finalist in the “New Product or Service of the Year - Consumer
Electronics” category of the 2012 American Business AwardsSM.
“The features and benefits of the Power2U have clearly resonated with mobile
device users, and with this aggressive new pricing move, it will continue to
attract more customers,” said Larry O'Connor, President, Newer Technology Inc.
