Travel Technology - EMPOWER 110V AC with USB Charger Port

I visited aircraft interios show in Hamburg Germany earlier this year. All the latest airline cabin gadgets are shown here. One of the most interesting was Astronics, the company which makes my favorite ameniti onboard (EMPOWER system) has a new system that combines 110V AC outlet with an additional USB 5VDC outlet. This would be great to have in every seat to operate laptops, DVD players, and charge Ipods. I hope it makes it on board soon. ^ This product was a big buzz at the show. Ref. Link below from IFE Express.
