The CSQUID is a charger which can juice up your portable devices even when the PC is in STANDBY, so there is no need to wake your PC just to charge your device. Standard USB cables supplied by the portable device manufacturers require the PC to be turned ON before charging. This saves about 180KG of carbon which is equal to driving for 2 weeks per year.

And good news for Apple iPAD users, the CSQUID is the only cable on the market to allow users to charge the iPad from any PC or Apple laptop. The standard Apple cable included with the iPad can only charge from a new Apple computer USB port. So anyone with an iPad MUST have one of these to charge from any PC or go buy a new Apple PC!

The CQuid boasts multiple connectors which allows it to work with AppleTM products (e.g. iPad, iPod, iPhone), as well as next-generation micro-USB connectors (e.g. BlackberryTM Bold II) and current generation mini-USB connectors (e.g. BlackberryTM Bold I, digital cameras, GPS). The fact that in addition to charging it also does data means that it is truly universal and can be used to download camera pics and backup data on USB hard drives.

No need to install software like iTUNES or blackberry software on PC just to charge - some devices require to software to be installed before charging is initiated. You can charge at work or home on any PC without fear of erasing data.

There are a few notable issues with generic USB chargers. The computer needs to be on to charge, you need different chargers for various devices and you may need software on the computer to start charging.

With the CSQUID, there is CHARGE mode to allow you to charge even when the PC is in standby and also does not need software installed when the PC is on. A single cable with APPLE, MINIB and a MINI-to-MICRO adapter will charge almost all your devices. It also has a SYNC mode that allows you to transfer data without using another cable.

The CSQUID continues to charge the portable device through the computer even if the computer goes to standby thereby reducing the drain on the earths resources. In addition to standby charging, it can also charge when the PC is on and do data transfer. A single cable replaces several existing datasync/charge cables for Apple and Micro-USB devices. It does not need pre-installed synchronization software just to charge through USB.
