Third party charger with USB hub build-in?

[segers909]

Since the charger for the new Macbook now uses industry standard USB spec, won't we be seeing Macbook chargers from different manufacturers, who can also build in a USB hub?

yes.

This, to me, is huge! It'll mean I don't have to manage lots of adapters all the time.

Such a combined charger/hub would be a definite buy for me together with the new MacBook. Would have been even better if Apple designed their MacBook stock charger this way. (But I guess the adapters are making quite good extra money.)
