Last time I rode a tandem bicycle, I had only one other passenger and we were dodging the guidos and guidettes of the Jersey Shore in search of some ice cream. Luckily, the state of my computer is nothing like the state of my past vacations. Still, like my tolerance for the... unique (and drunk) walks of life on the boardwalk, my computer has a limit for USB plugs. No worries, the Tandem USB is here to the rescue.

Winner of the iF Concept Design Award 2010, Yi Fan Lin & Hong Yih Chu's Tandem USB design is sleek, simple and organized. Well, more organized than any idea I would have conceived. Following other concepts of an infinite plugging system, the Tandem USB's grooves and curves allow for all cords to exist in harmony.

While I am sold on this idea and have been sold on the stacked USB concept for some time now, there's still room for all of you wonderful designers to improve. We may be saving a lot of space by extending from just one port, but I'd like to see a solution for when I get myself tangled up, needing to unplug a cord in the middle, without having to eject and unplug everything else. Granted, being selective about your order of priority is key, but let's be honest, we don't always think two steps ahead.

Great looking design though!
