Power strips with voice message playback

Power strips are provided having voice message playback capabilities, which enable a user to selectively playback stored voice messages or verbal memorandum identifying the particular electronic devices plugged into the power strip outlets. In this manner, a user need only trigger playback of a voice message to determine the identity of an electronic device plugged into a given outlet. This may be particularly beneficial when several electronic devices are plugged into the power strip, which is located underneath a desk, behind an entertainment center, or in another difficult-to-access area. In certain embodiments, the power strip enables the user to record personalized voice messages identifying the electronic devices plugged into the power strip outlets, possibly along with additional information pertaining to the plugged-in devices and considered pertinent by the user. Embodiments of the power strips described herein may also be beneficially used by the blind and visually impaired.
