Here’s another double-duty hub. The 2.0 USB 3-Port Hub comes with a calculator. It also has a built-in thermometer, a 12/24 hour World Clock, a calendar, an alarm, timer, and time announce. The device supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista and, at a size of 180 x 99 x 22mm and a weight of 149g, the hub comes with its own cable at a price of $19.00. Now that we think about it, it is more like quadruple-duty.

CJ7 Dog Doll MP3 Player
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Toys, USB,
This wins our award for the ugliest MP3 Player on the planet. The CJ7 Dog Doll has built-in speakers and 1GB flash memory via USB. At a size of 3.19 x 1.34 x 3.35-inches and a weight of 6.98 oz., the creature comes with what the site describes as a “cute dog doll outfit.” Uh huh. No doubt Paris Hilton might find this amusing, but for $18.67, we think we will pass until they come up with one that works without the fru-fru.

Jogging to music is tough if your iPod won’t stay put, so perhaps the Sports MP3 Watch is a viable alternative.

GZ PC-Sport Exercise Machine
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Science, USB,
Gamercize’s GZ PC-Sport has surely been devised for those who can pat their heads and rub their stomachs at the same time. Place it under your desk, connect to your USB mouse or keyboard, and start walking. If you slow down or stop, the peripheral will not work. We call that massive incentive. The Sport lets you know how well you are doing and gauges which level you are on. The Power Stepper steps up (pun intended) when you adjust it to a brisk walk and the Endurance Cycle lets you pedal away while chatting, e-mailing, or other online activities. You can purchase a full package or simply purchase the PC-Sport and use your own exercise machine for prices beginning at £69.95 (~$140.00.)

Intempo Digital Rebel Isolates Music
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, USB,
Intempo Digital has released the Rebel, a nifty little device that samples FM music from stations and saves up to forty of the most often repeated tracks as MP3 files. Even better, it cuts out annoying advertising and over-talky DJs. With its line-in jack you simply plug into DAB or Internet radio, then download to your cell phone or MP3 player. At a size of 195 x 80 x 70mm and a weight of 1kg, you can connect the Rebel by USB. The self-censoring digital music gadget is available for £69.99 (~$109.00.)

Somebody finally decided to create a USB 2.0 Cube Hub that not only allows you to connect 4 devices, 2 of them can be turned off and on. What a great idea for people like us that only have two ports and one of them is solely dedicated to our mouse. At a size of 60 x 60 x 45mm and a weight of 127g, the hub works with Windows XP/Vista/200 and has a data transfer rate of up to 480Mbps. Available in 5 colors, pick one up for $12.00.

Castgrabber Downloads Podcasts Without a PC
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video, USB,
Download podcasts without a PC with the Castgrabber. Get yourself a network, plug in your iPod, Zune, or other MP3 player via USB cable. The device magically and automatically downloads. We are not sure exactly how that happens although the company says that it is similar to TiVo and that installation is simple when you select through iTunes software or any other Net sites of your choice. It also acts as a recharging dock while it does its thing. We found the Castgrabber at the online Home Depot for $119.95.

Wine Stopper USB Memory Stick
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Design, Software,
Wine connoisseurs/geeks, it’s time to say “Cheers!” Arwye Wan has designed a USB 2.0 flash drive shaped like a cork wine stopper. Handmade and at a size of 50 x 20mm, the stick holds 1GB memory and supports Windows, Linux and Mac. The storage device comes in a white gift box and will be available soon, so contact smediart for details and price. What a great idea for for a vineyard and/or retailers to get one with their logo on it and information about their product included in the design. Personally, our wine knowledge is pretty much limited to Ripple.

This is not your ordinary webcam. The ANEO ANWC0804 comes with three interactive games: Kungfu, Super Knight, and Funny Stair. The little guy is about 90 x 44 x 40mm and weighs 54g with a manual focus range of 5cm to infinity, a 24-bit RGB format, and a USB 1.1/2.0 interface. While the camera supports both Windows and Mac, the games will only work with MS. Brando claims that they are simplified for the kids, but we know that sometimes they are better at these things than adults. You can have your own ANEO for $33.00.

If you drooled at the thought of owning your own Private Ocean, then you might want more water-related accessories such as this USB Starfish Speaker to go with your MP3 player.

It also features non-slip arms in case it wants to escape off your desk. The speaker comes with USB charging and audio input cables and is available for a mere $12.00.
(Thanks, Fanny)
