While Apple is known to create products that are innovative and break boundaries, one of the other things that they are good at is creating products that work simply with no frills or extra, unnecessary fluff. This new Apple Battery Charger would fall into the latter category. With of all of the new devices that have released that take batteries, like the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad, this will be the perfect device to charge them. According to Apple it is the best battery charger in its class and also the most energy efficient. [GeekyGadgets]
