I could swear that I have seen something like that elsewhere but, I can’t remember where: Toshiba will setup the USB ports of its laptops so that users can charge stuff using the USB ports – even when the computer is turned OFF. This will work thanks to a sleep-and-charge USB port that will always have some power.
While this is touted as an “innovative technology”, I don’t think that it is hard to do but I have to praise Toshiba for being the first (?) to do it.
