Austin Airport USB Ports!

What exactly are the USB ports used for? It’s not like they’re connected to anything other than a power source are they? So the most you can use them for is to charge something via USB, correct?

They have those at Bradley in Hartford, CT

Interesting. I was in Houston a few weeks ago and did not venture their wireless connects/usb etc after having a horrendous experience at the O”Hare airport …

‘hope you are having fun! :)

NICE!

What, were you on a Business/First Class Airline lounge or what? Besides, what airline did you take?

(My guess: American)

cool!! obviously their just for charging, but it would be cool for them to update your mobile device with arrival and departure stats…or something like that :P

Airports are finally understanding how important our computers are in there waiting rooms.. Distracted geeks=Happy geeks, Geeks sitting in a waiting room with no net connection, or a dead laptop=Whining Geeks who are the counter every two minutes going. “Wheres my flight? Its a hour late!”

This is great! These should be ok every airport as well as on planes.

If I’m ever at that airport I could charge my phone without digging out the charger or my laptop, just use my USB cable. Noice. Now USB 4.0 needs to be able to power a laptop, we know 3.0 isn’t capable of it, but maybe 4.0 could.

Chris, where’s the chair?!

This would have been so useful on my way home from Virginia when my Zune started to die.
