Isn't part of the reason for the size of the original plug the fact that they have to have a circuit breaker or fuse in them? I wonder how they handle that with the new-format plug.
I remember seeing the early plastic-slug proof-of-concept/prototype design a year or so ago. It struck me as amazingly insightful. It almost makes the UK power plugs seem attractive.
That type of "in line" power plug (his collapsed version, not the typical/standard UK one) could actually be useful here in the US, I think. Esp. with a fuse for protection.
