As we’ve discussed before on this blog, it seems as if every possible electrical item you can think of is now available with a USB plug.  I’m not sure what day or year precisely that it became acceptable to plug a mug warmer into your computer, but what a day it must have been.  There’s no going back, of course; USB 2.0 is here to stay until they figure out a new gimmick to get us to buy all of our appliances all over again with a fancy new plug.

We sell a lot of cool items at BuyersHQ.com that are designed with USB ports in mind, and I own about a dozen or so personally.  In fact, the only gadgets I have that DON’T plug into my USB hub are the ones that plug into the cigarette lighter in my car.  Some things, like my GPS locator, plug into both.  So what’s the deal, automakers?  Can we just go ahead and start building USB 2.0 ports into every car yet?  Because we’ve got plenty of USB 2.0 hubs for iPhones ready to roll out to the dealerships whenever you’re ready.
