Mimico, the creators of mimobots, continue to entertain us with their line of USB toys. Not only have they created 2 more Star Wars figures, they now have more artists coming up with Limited Editions. We’re thinking that their “one love, one heart series” is an innovative way to express your feelings should your spouse/partner ask you for more space this Valentine’s Day. Each mimbot is a high-speed 2.0 USB, compatible for windows, and is available in 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB at mimico, with prices beginning at $69.95.

Japan’s Buffalo has just come out with 3 new Disney 512MB USB keys. Who wouldn’t want Steamboat Willie hanging out at her/his computer? After seeing this, we decided that it would just be a matter of time before Japan comes out with its beloved Hello Kitty version. Not only did we find one that is available from Dynamism, we also found this Kitty hub that has been around since 2004 with moving arms, an alarm and timer, and can speak in Japanese or English.

If you are as tired of seeing all those charming and optimistic USB drives as we are, we suggest the USB Teddy as a pessimistic alternative. Simply pop off its head, put the torso in your computer and you are good to go. Designed by Sergio de Ana, the gadget was originally just a stuffed bear that was meant to be a gift for his fiance, when the idea came to him to present it in this strange way. It became “bearly” doable when de Ana made it functional with 1 GB of storage space.

Apple Releases 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Wireless / WiFi, USB,
Apple has quietly upgraded their WiFi router line, releasing the AirPort Extreme. The main feature of the new model is that it features 802.11n wireless, which provides twice the range and five times the speed than 802.11g. The unit is 6.5-inches square, and 1.2-inches tall - but seems to leave a bit to be desired. For instance, there are only three ports for connecting other devices to the AirPort extreme, while most other routers have four. Also, the ports do not support Gigabit ethernet, which is another downer for a product using the term “extreme” in its name. On the plus side though, it does have a USB port for connecting a USB printer or external hard drive. The best part though? It also comes with an 802.11n Enabler, which unlocks the 802.11n capabilities of the newest iMac and MacBook Pro models, which shipped with WiFi cards capable of 802.11n speeds. We suspect you simply run the Enabler, and your Core 2 Duo iMacs and MacBook Pros will fly. The Airport Extreme Base Station ships in February for $179.99 USD.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, USB,
If you smoke and want to be politically correct, GreenHouse’s USB car Ashtray will take care of irritating second-hand smoke. Simply lift its top, and as its headlights come on, the fan will literally suck up the smoke. You can also utilize 3 AAA batteries to keep you smoke-free wherever you travel. At a size of 135 x 97 x 82 mm, the ashtray’s interior is removable for cleaning and will be available in Japan near the end of December for ¥500 (~ $4.00.)
