Also, who decided to stick "19¢" to the price?
For $47 you could probably buy an entire used computer. Plug it in and have many USB chargers. Or buy a TiVo: USB charger with built in DVR!
I feel sorry for anyone who buys one of these.
You can buy a powered USB hub ( < $15, available anywhere), and simply not plug in the computer cable, and you'd have the same thing as this except:
1) With more ports (4 or 8 instead of 1)
2) A long power cord, making it easier to place where you want it
3) Much, much cheaper
This product announcement is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
