Keyboards, mice, printers, cameras, drives, and even foam missile cannons all connect through USB. It would be nice to be able to share all of these USB devices between two computers. You wouldn't even have to reload your cannons, just hit a button and switch to the next one! This is where the Ultra Products 7 Port USB Buddy Hub comes in. - The Review

So what is obviously missing from the review is how much power that AC adapter puts out, since a single USB port is rated for 500mA at 5volt a 7 port setup would require 3.5A, however that adapter doesn't look like it could supply even close to that, so give us some numbers please.
I know not all devices use 500mA, in fact relatively few do, but it's information that is relevant for the people considering purchasing this device as to what it actually CAN support with the included adapter and that's what reviews are for. especially if the site of the manufacturer is also is silent on it.

I believe there may be two versions of the Buddy Hub out there, so it is possible that different adaptors are included, etc... But one I have seen has an output of 2.0A, 5V.

Hopefully the reviewer can come by and comment, too.
