USB Gadgets

The Vonage V-Phone can be considered one of the smallest phones in the world, it just depends on your definition of telephone.

This kind of phone comes in a USB form and works via the internet (much like the popular Skype), the full V-Phone package contains pre-installed software and a microphone to be plugged on the side of the USB. This pre-installed software made by Vonage has the basic phone features like capable of making/receiving calls (duh), but it also has not-so-basic-stuff caller ID and call forwarding - all this can be done/seen on the interface that will appear on the monitor after you plug it on the USB port.

The USB cannon is available from Brando for $35.

Zip-Linq is noted for their wide array of cables and various connector solutions, so it is no wonder that the latest Deluxe Zip-Linq Road Warrior Kit will sit down well with those who travel on a frequent basis. We know that packing our suitcases for a long haul trip can be quite a tricky affair as we have to maintain a healthy balance of space between our beloved gadgets and their many accessories as well as the rest of our clothes and toiletries. Often times, packing becomes such a hurried affair that we might end up forgetting to bring some of the more necessary connector cables to our place of destination, reducing grown men to a pool of tears as they don’t know how to transfer their presentation slides from one device to a notebook.
