Xipiter<\/a> comes in. \u00a0This is a simple device. \u00a0It allows you to charge your phone on any USB enabled connection, but does not allow syncing by cutting off access to the data pins of the USB connection at the hardware level.<\/p>\n<p>If you travel alot\u00a0I would suggest investing in a few of these. \u00a0Let&#8217;s face it, we try and find an outlet anywhere we can when it comes to charging our phones. \u00a0Hackers know this. \u00a0A cleverly designed &#8220;public charge station&#8221; could be easily compromised to feed your data back to a remote server in just a few minutes and you would probably never notice.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"1821\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.mtin.net\/blog\/product-review-sync-stop\/img_2268\/\"
