Among the highlights was the iPowerPro WorldPlug travel adaptor, which enables travellers to connect their devices worldwide.

WorldPlug is designed to work with notebook computers and other electronic devices that have dual voltage power supplies. The product retails at US$24.99.
Also on show was the iPowerPro 150 Watt Universal Dual Voltage Auto/Airplane Adapter, which is a portable, compact dual voltage (110-120 VAC & 220-240 VAC) DC/AC universal power inverter for notebook computers and other electronic devices.

A USB charging port allows use of ASB charging cables to charge cellphones, PDAs and other electronic devices.
