The iDJ is a compact mixing console with 2 built-in iPod docks. Mixing directly from your iPods gives you the ability to utilize thousands tracks from your iTunes collection at your next party or event. If you need to pull audio from additional sources, you’ll be happy to know that the iDJ has two additional turntables or MP3/CD players inputs. I can see how this would come in handy at an event like a wedding where someone ends up handing the DJ a CD at the last minute.

The iDJ Mixer is both Firewire and USB2.0 compatible, so you can use 3rd Generation iPods (iPod mini, iPod photo) or newer generation models as well.

After reading through the specs, I noticed you can take things a step further and connect via S-Video. Greg from getusb.info thinks this feature “makes the iDJ a good video mixer for schools, churches or corporate applications where you have multiple people presenting and don’t want to fumble around with PC connections and projectors.”

The iDJ Mixer also features headphone pre-cuing, separate channel three-band EQ and an industry-standard Kensington security slot. The security slot enables you to lock down the iDJ to a table in case you need to walk away for a few minutes for a cigarette or quick bathroom break.

The i-dear may look like any old ordinary wooden block but it also has the added function of being a tiny speaker.

I must admit I’m not sure why you’d want to carry a tiny wooden speaker around with you but for those who do here it is. The i-dear can be connected to your PC via USB or any other audio device via a regular jack lead and then you can enjoy all 1.5W of woody sound.

The iWood is available from FunShop and if any of our readers can understand Korean please let us know if we’ve missed any hidden functionality.

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
