We all know that as our electronic tools and toys have gotten smartly smaller - we still have too many power adapters! And they remain the same damn sized - like a "brick!"
So, what do you do to keep things small? Hopefully, singular?
We travel with a notebook or tablet, smartphone, kindle, camera, and maybe portable speakers. All need power sources - what to do?
I'm looking forward to a single all-in-one solution in the Dart Power Adapter, coming this winter/spring (in orange and purple):

(But not compatible with Mac laptops - ouch!) Dart is advertized as one-fourth the weight as a brick-sized portable power adapter, and about one-sixth of the brick size.
The first ones go to its initial Kickstarter funders in November-December. The public gets their crack thereafter.
More details on the Dart Laptop Power Adapter, here.
The Amazon Kindle has a small plug-sized power adapter. It's small and cheap, but under powered and thus slow to recharge.
A generic 5 volt, 1000mA wall-charger, similar to this inexpensive one,
is what I use.
So - how do you keep your power charging tools to a minimum?
