Hamee (online store for smartphone accessories) released a faucet-shaped adapter for charging iPhone and smartphones called iTAP USB-AC Charging Adapter.
Once you turn the faucet on, iTAP USB-AC Charging Adapter starts feeding power to your iPhone or smartphone (blue light comes on). If you want to stop charging, you can just turn the faucet again. When powered-off, it keeps red light on. It's a power-saving product.
According to Hamee, overcharging iPhone or smartphones shortens their battery life andiTAP USB-AC Charging Adapter can avoid the problem. It is both practical and humorous-designed.
Price: 2,480 yen

Thanks for the idea. I'm going to dunk every stupid mobile communications terminal I can get my hands on into a bucket of water.

Saw that at my local Village Vanguard yesterday among other similar Items.

I thought this was like a modern water wheel when I first read the headline, where you pull electricity out of your faucet when you do the dishes. Perhaps a worthy idea for these times?
Any engineers in the house?
I wonder if leaving your phone to be charged past its "full" point is actually damaging to the battery? Anyone know if that is true?

Or you could just unplug it. How is turning the 'faucet' any less effort?

Truly amazing what people will buy. The ideal gift to give someone to prove you spent some money on them, but not enough to buy something they actually wanted.
