This Lego USB Flash Drive is a one of a kind 4GB flash drive that as the name suggests, is built of Lego. The Lego Flash Drive car measures 3.5″ x 1.5″ and can be taken apart if you want.
The Flash Drive uses a micro flash drive embedded in to the main body of the car with the top section and wheels attaching to the flash drive. As it uses what appears to be regular lego, there is also room to further customise the drive if needed. [click to continue…]
The Alien USB Flash Drive is a creepy device that sits well on your desk. It was designed to look like an Alien from Alien, Aliens and other Alien movies.
The Alien Flash Drive connect to a USB port on your laptop or desktop computer and once connected it’s inner mouth pops out and the inside of the big mouth lights up by a red LED in a freaky way. [click to continue…]
The USB Grenade Flash Drive is a fun gadget that is designed to look like a grenade although no explosions are going to happen with this one. It functions like any other USB flash drive in that you pull the top off it, stick it in your PC or Mac and transfer a bunch of files to it.
That annoying guy three cubes down want the same files you’ve already emailed him 30 times? Pull the plug on your grenade and fling it into his cube. It won’t blow up, but at least a grenade to the head might make him reconsider the next time he wants to bug you about something…
The Active Media Wink is a very small USB flash drive, claimed to be the tiniest by it’s creators, that manages to store an impressive 16GB of data.

The flash drive it’s self is also waterproof as it’s covered in a sealed casing. To keep the drive safe a small eye hole is drilled in allowing it to be connected to your keychain. [click to continue…]
We’ve seen our fair share of weird and wonderful USB flash drives here at GadgetVenue. Today I came across perhaps the best ever…. The Stig USB Flash Drive.
The Stig flash drive has 8GB of storage capacity and connects to USB 2.0 that transfers data at a rate of 480Mbps.
The best description in the comments over at Play.com in the UK is that it’s called “the memory stig”. [click to continue…]
USB 3.0 was announced a while back and what we have here is a new webcam designed to be USB 3.0 compliant. It is built by Point Grey and the specs are quite impressive as it can actually capture full HD at 1080p at an impressive 60 frames per second.
Due to the wider bandwidth available on USB 3.0, it allows raw data to be pushed through allowing it to function at the higher resolution and frame rate.
Inside the camera there is a 3 megapixel Sony CMOS sensor that is capable of capturing the 1920×1080 pixels needed to make up the resolution. [click to continue…]
This USB stick houses a DVB-T TV tuner. The DVB standard is widely used in Western Europe but is starting to grow throughout the world.
To help with signal reception the USB TV tuner stick has a small flip antenna that you can either attach to the USB DVB-T tuner when needed, or use a cable to use it as a free standing antenna.
Software is provided with the picoStick called TVCenter that allows digital video recording allowing you to save programs to watch later. Recordings can be stored in either MPEG-2, DivX or H.246 formats so that the files can be transferred to other media players. [click to continue…]
Sony have unveiled the new Sony MicroVault Click that comes in several capacities which includes 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB.
The 32GB capacity is the physical limit, but there is also a Virtual Expander built in that provides data compression via software built in to the MicroVault. According to Sony, this allows users the possibility of tripling capacity although I suspect that’s the maximum amount and of course, the real compression would vary depending on the file type stored on the MicroVault.

The Varta Digital battery charger is a device that acts as a normal battery charger in that you plug it in to the wall to charge AA and AAA batteries. However, it also has a 12V car adapter so that you can charge batteries on the go. To make even more useful the Varta also has a USB port that allows you to use your PC to charge the batteries.
Another interesting feature is that you can also top up your MP3 player via the Varta’s USB port. [click to continue…]
I really don’t get the point of the USB Hub Alarm Clock. I just don’t remember a time when an alarm clock woke me up and I had the sudden urge to connect up 4 USB devices to it… but I guess the creators have done their research and found there is a need for such a device. With it being an alarm clock you would expect it’s for the side of your bed, but as it’s a hub does it sit with your PC on the desk? If so, doesn’t your computer tell the time anyway? Confusing!
The USB Hub Alarm clock does actually look really good despite the strange part about the USB connectors. It has the ability to show you the time in 25 different cities around the world. [click to continue…]
