Griffin is now selling a kit that offers you no more excuses why you are the only one without white earphones when traveling abroad. The PowerBlock is a outlet to USB charger designed for iPods, cellphones, or other USB powered devices.

PowerBlock’s flat-blade, non-polarized prongs impose no limitations on how they fit into twin-prong outlets—and are ideal for international use. The travel package adds adapters that, cover most any AC connection you’ll encounter in your world explorations. PowerBlock handles all voltages from 100 to 240 AC, converting to the voltage that your USB devices need.

The PowerBlock Travel package ($34.99) includes a Griffin dock connector cable for your iPod as well as an accessory pouch to help you keep track of your adapters. PowerBlock Travel won’t do away with all the hassles of traveling; you’ll still have to keep track of your luggage, and how many Yen are in a Euro (or vice versa)… but with PowerBlock Travel in your travel kit, you will never have to worry about how to charge your iPod and other USB devices.
