OopenOutlet was born out of the need to find an outlet to charge an iPhone, suffering from premature low battery a.k.a #lowbattery. Despite all the advancements made to smartphones, battery capacity took a backseat while camera resolutions, memory, and screen sizes grew. If we are expected to do more with our smartphones while out and about, how can we ensure that we stay charged?

The OpenOutlet Project is focusing on solving that problem, one available outlet at a time, one user at a time. We need dedicated users to help locate available outlets in the wild. With our iPhone app, you can do all that and Tweet it too. Not to mention locate outlets that have already been found. Help us say goodbye to #lowbattery and hello to #OpenOutlet.
