3. Infinite USB :

Running Out Of USB Ports?

What do you the One of the limitations on notebooks is the lack of USB ports in proportion to the number of devices we would like to hook up. An easy remedy these days is the USB Hub, but YD won’t be YD if we showcased run-of-the-mill solutions! So here’s the Infinite USB – an alternative plug on devices that kinda acts like a tag team. The design speaks for itself, so no point elaborating, however what we can do is talk about its effectiveness and limitations. For starters I don’t think we may be able to tag too many devices one behind the other. I reckon max 3 or 4 before the tag starts to look awkward, but the color coding on plugs will make it easy to identify which plug belongs to which device.

While the laptop is getting smaller, the USB ports are getting less and limited. But more and more devices are using USB port. So this Infinite USB can solve this problem. When there is a new USB device plug in and occupied one USB port, at the same time, it provides one more USB port. If more and more USB devices are designed the plug like this. There won’t be any limitation of the number of USB port anymore. Also, the colorful design helps users recognize the device easily, and makes a series of USB plug more vivid.

4. Elecom Data clip and Data hook :

Certainly not a new idea, but it’s a well-executed one. Nendo’s DATA clip is a USB drive that’s also a paperclip.

               Japanese online store GeekStuff4U has started selling the Elecom x nendo clip type USB memory. Dubbed as the Elecom x nendo DATA Clip, the storage device provides a 4GB of storage space, a maximum transfer rate of 480Mbps, and an AES 256bit encryption. Available in green, blue, red, black, or white, this fancy USB flash drive measures 55.4mm x 12mm x 2.5mm. If you are interested, you can purchase the Elecom x nendo DATA Clip for $43.40 each.

5.Lacie USB Hub:

The LaCie USB and firewire combination hub has everything you need to keep your stuff organized. I have more disorganized, messy wires than I need right now, and I’m sure there are lots of you out there that feel the same way.

     No need to fix something if it isn't broken, right? Apparently LaCie is feelin' said mantra, as its latest version of the Hub differs very little from last year's iteration in the design department, but it certainly shows preference for the tried and true Universal Serial Bus. The revamped Hub sports a totally round base for maximum wobbling, but maintains the white poly-carbonate finish and strung out ports just like last time. If you'll notice, however, each of the seven cables are some form of USB 2.0, and no, there's not a production line snafu to blame. LaCie is betting that some of you out there would actually prefer an all-USB Hub, and if you just so happen to fit that mold, you can grab one now for $79.
