I don't consider myself a huge tech head, but even I am excited about the Hanger USB Charger. The Hanger USB Charger is a conceptual clothes hanger with two built-in USB ports and a power cable. The power cable plugs into a standard wall outlet providing power to the USB ports and recharging gadgets.
