Logitech products have been written about here before, but never one of their web cams.

The QuickCam Pro is a webcam deigned specifically for laptops, meaning it’s small and can latch on to the top of your laptop. To put it in perspective, the QuickCam Pro is the size of an average house key. For carrying your QuickCam Pro around, just use the included carrying case.

These days practically anything can be done with a USB port. There’s now no reason to get overheated at your desk with the Flexible USB Fan.

The fan is on a flexible cord which is plugged into the USB port. It is stiff enough to stand on its own so you can point it where you want. The blades are designed to be strong enough to give you a good, steady stream of cool air, however they are soft enough that even a child could grab them without getting hurt.

Thumb drives can store up to a couple gigabytes of data in a device the size of, well, your thumb. The only downside is that as you get past the gigabyte mark, thumb drives become very expensive.

Carrying around a hard drive doesn’t sound that great, but the T.One isn’t your regular hard drive, it fits in your pocket.

The T.One is a portable hard drive with 8 gigabytes of storage, and connects to your computer via USB 2.0, but is also compatabile with USB 1.1 (for the poor people who still have that). It’s compatabile with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

PC speakers generally look pretty plain and boring (unless you can afford crazy speakers like these), so I was interested to see the Vase USB PC Speaker.

This is an amazing little gadget would be perfect for anyone who loves HDTV quality programming and are constantly on the go. The T14A USB HDTV Tuner can receive Over The Air (OTA) HDTV.

Probably the coolest thing about this gadget is its overall ease of use. It’s a very small little device which easily plugs into your computer’s USB port. It’s just the size of a small USB drive so it is incredibly easy to carry around with you. This makes it perfect for laptop use anywhere you can get an OTA signal. It also requires no additional battery power so it is completely powered via the USB port.

The tuner is designed for Windows XP MCE (Media Center Edition) and comes with all the drivers required to use it. Windows XP MCE also requires that you have an analog TV tuner card installed on your computer for the HDTV tuner to function, however.

This very cool and very portable gadget costs $89 which in my opinion is not that bad of a deal for what it offers. It is available from PC Alchemy.
