Wouldn’t it be nice if you could walk into a pub, club, or restaurant and be able to recharge your mobile phone / iPod / mp3 player? Well, Juice Jack have that vision, and have produced the Jack to achieve this. It has 9 connectors for charging a large portion of phones (both Nokia connectors, Apple, Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung, and standard micro and mini USB connectors). Not just that, but the device has a built in Li-Ion battery (although it’s more likely people will connect the device direct to the mains).
Even better, the price is only £25, and they are willing to sell single devices to consumers, as well as selling in volumes to larger companies.
We like the idea, although unless there was one on every table in a pub, we would be nervous leaving our phone on charge in a public place out of our sight / reach.

I agree this is a good idea and I have seen bars that offer charging on-site. To solve the security problem they have little lockers with charger plugs inside - you hire a locker for say an hour from the bar, get a key and put your device in the locker for the allotted time.
That device would also be a good idea for offices - how many times have you gone to work and realised you’ve forgotten to charge your phone? Rather than have to disturb everyone and ask if anyone has a charger with them, just hook it up to this hub in the office.
