For the US, there's always X-10.

Does anyone else see the irony in using a device which always draws power to turn off other devices to save power.

Very very cool... I was actually thinking this morning about unplugging my devices, but - of course - the socket is somewhere behind my desk and crawling on the floor to unplug it is not my idea of fun. Too bad that being on the other side of the pond doesn't mean I can use these. Our sockets are still different.

@Anon: Yes. Also in trying to reduce your environmental footprint by manufacturing additional hardware.

In my case, the would-be savings are vastly exaggerated, anyhow. And those who are even less aware of their energy consumption will never buy this in the first place.

So, while this product is a nice means for exploiting the remaining in-between market of people who want to buy themselves a clean conscience, in the greater scheme, it won't solve anything.
