When a squid loves a USB cable, you get this

by Chris Ziegler posted Apr 16th 2009 at 9:13PM

What do you call a guy who can charge a Nokia, a Samsung, an LG, and a Sony Ericsson at the same time, all from the comfort of his laptop's USB port? A hero, that's what -- a hero who's purchased Brando's USB Multi-Charge Cable. Actually, we're fairly certain you'd run into a brick wall trying to charge any more than one device at a time, but at least you'll be prepared regardless of what kind of portable device gets thrown your way. At $13, it's going to run you a hell of a lot less than cables for each of those stupid proprietary connectors, too.

So, does he put two of his penises down his would-be pants legs, or is this a glove for mutants with six fingers and a thumb?

Excuse me for being picky, but I don't see a Sony Ericsson connector in those 5.

I see Nokia charger, MicroUSB, MiniUSB, USB...and something ciruclar that resembles S-Video.
Where is SE charger (really wide)

All,

Please follow the link to the Brando site, there are phone adapters that come with the cable for the different phone/game types.

If u click the link to the actual product page you will see that the "s-Video" connector is actually a dongle port for additional included charging heads, one being for the Sony Ericsson phones.

Nice, but it needs iPhone 30 pin, the "other" USB bastard child connector, and maybe a vibrator adaptor.
