New York, NY (PRWEB) October 03, 2013 -- On the heels of the USB condom sellout, thingCHARGER has announced the release of its new charging solution for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. It gives individuals the advantage of charging one or multiple things at once, all from any standard outlet with no messy charging wires and no chance of ‘Juice Jacking.’

“The hottest thing now is to protect devices from ‘Juice Jacking’ at public charging stations. Our philosophy is to have your own protection. Just one thingCHARGER allows you to turn any regular US outlet into a charging station for up to 3 devices – and still keep both outlets free to use. Think about the airport with everyone vying for a power outlet. thingCHARGER lets people ‘bring their own charging station’ to any public site,” said Seymour Segnit, Founder and Inventor of thingCHARGER. “We’ve designed a solution which is ideal for the home and office and is great for travelers. No need to try and keep up on the latest data-theft ploys that hackers are creating… simply bring your own protection.”

thingCHARGER plugs into any outlet, then any smartphone, tablet or reader sits directly on top, eliminating messy cords while easily charging the device. Each unit is equipped with several interchangeable charging tips so can handle almost any device mounted on top, as well as having two USB ports and two regular outlets. thingCHARGER offers the ultimate in “protected charging.” No need to worry about hackers because the unit simply lowers the mains voltage from 110v AC in the United States to 5v DC and isolates any devices it charges. There is no data connection involved, so ‘Juice Jacking’ is impossible.

"thingCHARGER is poised to be the go to charging station for all your tech needs. No longer will you have to search room to room to find devices or free plug space. It's like a dream come true for tech geeks like me – and everyone who owns a smart device," said Stormy Beach, Senior Editor, AndroidSPIN.com.
