this colorful usb hub is fun and flexy

filed under: gadgets

The Flexible Chromatic USB Hub will delight you with bright hues and a flexible design. You can fold and stretch it to your heart’s content, all while you do your USB thing.

This gadget reminds me of those toys that have colored blocks of wood connected by fabric straps, that can go either direction. You’ll get 4 USB 2.0 ports at your disposal, and can use it with a Mac or PC…

cassette tape usb hub won’t play, pause or rewind

filed under: audio | gadgets | just plain fun | retro

I can’t think of any better way to connect my mix tape USB flash drive to my computer than to plug it into this retro cassette tape USB hub.

The 4-port USB 2.0 hub may look exactly like an old school cassette tape, but I can pretty much assure you that you’ll wreck your tape player if you attempt to pop this thing in and listen to it…

usb robot 4-port hub is more hub than robot

filed under: computing | gadgets

The incorrectly named USB Robot 4-Port Hub has 4 twistable USB ports and no discernible robot parts whatsoever.

You can twist each port up to 270 degrees, although off the top of my head I can’t think of why I would need to do that…

Mickey Mouse USB Hub

This USB hub out of Japan features the (approximate) likeness of everyone’s favorite animated rodent, Mickey Mouse.

When not attached to your computer, the connectors provide Mickey with his ears. When connected though, the Vincent van Mouse look is a bit disturbing…

Kikkerland USB Hub Guy

There’s something that’s just right about this USB hub. The little guy strikes a near-perfect balance between design, simplicity and functionality (although that’s the one place it falls a little short).

Kikkerland’s USB Hub Man has flexible wire arms and legs with a port at the end of each one…

filed under: computing | design | gadgets

LaCie Huby USB Firewire Hub

This is quite possibly the strangest looking apparatus that I’ve seen in quite some time.

The LaCie Huby is a truly odd looking USB and Firewire hub that emphasizes the cables on your desktop, rather than hiding them away. The bulb-shaped device provides you with an additional 4 USB ports and 2 Firewire ports at the end of its LED illuminated cables…
