Yup, you could sum it all and simpl say:

"With the ubiquity of USB, here is a plug design that makes connecting more hassle free {pictures}"

HOWEVER,

This guy has been beat to the punch by guys at CES this year.

There was a guy handing out samples of a USB adapter that you plug into any existing USB cable and i does what this guys design does, except it doesnt have any moving parts. Rather than the sliding plastic thing, it is simply the contact board center-mounted in the metal shroud, regardless of which way you plug it, it works.

My buddy ordered 1000 to give away to customers.



Do you have the contact info for this company? I'd surely order a dozen just for around the house.
