New ideas come out all the time and it takes a while for them to come to market for sale. If you could get a USB cable to charge up your smart phone and the same cable could be used as a stand for your smart phone while charging, would you be interested? I know that I was interested when I came across this one today and it is supposed to be shipping this month. Given we are towards the end of the month, the release is imminent.
The Limb.al is the combination of a phone stand and a USB charger. Pretty simple concept and yet this is just now coming to market. You plug the MicroUSB or iOS 30 pin connector to your smart phone and the other plugs into a USB connection. For most monitors, they come with USB ports on the side where you can plug the Limb.al in as you see it above. There are so many different ways you can place it and bend the flexible cable to hold the phone.
With the Limb.al cable, no longer will your smart phone have to lay on your desk while you are working. You can have it at eye level so that you can look at it to see other things that are going on in your life, like Facebook or Twitter. The cable is solid enough that you can have your phone in the stand while in your car. While not recommended to be used while driving, it does provide get information when using a GPS app on your smart phone.
Pre-orders for the Limb.al in black are still be accepted at a price of $19. The flexible cable is 7 inches long. The Limb.al was a Kickstarter project in the middle of 2012 and it is great to see the flexible USB cables coming to market.
