The initial step in transforming from dumb power adapters into smart power solutions is to enable electronic products to communicate over the power connector. While thousands of consumers voiced their preference for more convenient, reusable power adapters on www.iwantmygreenplug.com, the perception that doing so would entail added cost in what was a difficult year for CE product vendors proved an impediment to rapid adoption.

Where will your old electronics end up this holiday season? With the Holiday season coming, many of us will be buying and receiving new electronics for the best part of the holidays – giving and getting presents of course! A new electronic “toy” is a must-have for many people at Christmas time. As a consumer your first reaction is to throw the old ones out, which really means dumping them in the trash or on the sidewalk in front of your house the day after Christmas.

It’s a newer type of phone that is looking to put a hurt on the immensely wasteful consumer electronics industry, and hopefully make people think a little bit about the problem of “throwaway” technology while they’re at it. After all, it’s getting a little crazy out there in the electronics world. Its casing is “reclaimed” from old recycled plastic, and the components are partially recycled from older phones and electronics.
