When I first saw this I thought cool, I’ve got a battery operated tape dispenser which seems to convert new batteries into useless non eco friendly waste in a matter of seconds, so a USB solution could be just the job.

However my excitement (excitement is probably a slight exaggeration) was short lived as it’s not USB powered it’s yet another USB hub (and no where near as cool as the TARDIS), so you have to manually tear the tape off, though you could plug a humping dog into it

The tape dispensing hub is available from Earth Trek, found first on Crib Candy.

What are some of the ways your company will be able to assert itself in the minds of prospects and potential customers? Other than splurging a whole bunch of money on conventional advertising means in traditional media like TV, radio, and newspapers, there are other (much) cheaper ways of doing so by targeting your preferred market in order to optimize your advertising dollar. With the digital divide being bridged slowly but surely, more and more people cannot live without touching a computer even for a day. What better way to get your company’s message across by giving away a free USB flash drive? After all, everyone could definitely do with more portable memory, and a USB flash drive is the perfect tool for the job at the moment. eNECESSITIES has launched a USB Sound Flash Drive to cater for this exact need. Check out what this unique memory device has to offer below.

Computers don’t really crash that often anymore, and you can go on and on about how often Windows crashes and how little OS X crashes, but in the end, it’s really not that big of a deal. . . unless you do something uber important that requires 100% uptime. For those people who worry about crashes when they’re not around to fix them, Kick-Off is the hardware software solution you need.

I think this has got to be the zaniest USB device I’ve come across, it’s times like this that words fail me.

The USB humping dog is available here which funnily enough is in Japan (I’m shocked).

I think somebody should be sacked from marketing at Solid Department Store. The 256MB USB Memory Heart Stick, released February 15th, duh!

Thanks Plastic Bamboo.

Elecom has 3 new USB hubs available.

This batch is particularly great for a simple reason,, they’re simple.

This is a direct, well thought out, USB port setup. It looks especially useful because it provides what you need, and nothing you don’t.

They seem best suited for use with a laptop. Maybe these would be well served with a high intensity red L.E.D. that wouldn’t suck too much power and would provide added utility to the ports themselves.

Thanks NOTCOT

Seagate announced at the latest CES a family of storage devices that is supposed to redefine the rules on the segment. The FreeAgent Data Movers line, as it is called, will let users take the whole content of their desktops or laptops (not only music or photos but also applications and programs) and carry it with them, making it much more accessible and reliable.

The storage devices, in fact, integrate not only hardware but also a software stack to manage the file transfers, encrypt and protect the content. There are 4 solutions on the line: FreeAgent Pro which is a USB/eSATA storage device and contains up to 750 Gigabytes, FreeAgent Desktop Drive which stores up to 500 Gigabytes, FreeAgent Go which can pack 160 Gigabytes and FreeAgent GoSmall which features 12 Gigabytes of memory.

USB flash drives are extremely useful, and nearly everyone sports at least one these days. Unfortunately, most of us also have had the experience of accidentally spoiling our USB flash drives due to the nature of the inferior plastic which it comes in. Treat them casually and they probably won’t be able to last the distance, which is why Russian Slava Tyukalov has taken some time and trouble to create his very own USB flash drives which are way more durable than what you find on the market. These drives are certified waterproof, anti-shock, anti-vibration, and anti-static to ensure your data integrity remains no matter where you bring the USB flash drive.
