Look! Philips Rotating Power Strip

2008-1-11-philipsrote.jpgWhile not very glamorous, Philips' rotating power strip was a gem we found at CES. One thing we hate about powerstrips is the wall of cords it creates, and the inflexible solution it provides. So, when we spied outlets that rotated, we definitely knew this would be a solution that would help someone tame, or at the very least corral, the dreaded cord octopus.

 
 

2008-1-11philipsrot2.jpgThere are two models available, a ten outlet model that has five standard plugs and five rotating, as well as an entire rotating eight outlet model. The only drawback, is that these must be a new release, as we can't find them on the net anywhere. We'll keep our eyes peeled, and if you've seen these or know of a similar solution, let us know in the comments.
