• "could save the UK approximately 217 million kWh of electricity per year"
  I hate these meaningless "journalese" numbers, we know they are based on the total population switching over as one from charging their phones off a domestic toaster 24/7 to using the new device. Why can't we be told the actual consumption figures, and what the financial payback period would be under reasonable usage? Possibly because the numbers wouln't look so fantastical? If you've got it flaunt it. When you haven't, hide behind some impressive looking number with lots of zeroes. Posted by Martin Daler, UK
• Shutting itself of is a good feature, but how does the circuitry run when it is working, if it is not a high efficiency design, than it does nothing to improve engergy overal consumption. In fact one could argue the best way to save engergy is using a high output car charger to charge one's mobile phone, since the electrocity in a car is there anyway! I agree with unconfirmed claim of electricity savings, to save the planet, everyone must do every litlle bit, that is given, but to make such unvarifiable claim on saving is simply advertisement.
