R2-D2 is always one of the droids you think of when you see Star Wars. The R2-Q5 USB Hub was designed for those who want something different though.
R2-Q5 was a droid that only appears in Return of the Jedi along with a couple of Lego Star Wars games. The only real difference with this droid is that it’s painted black with red accents and simply just looks different to the usual R2 hub that you see occasionally on someone’s desk.

Kingston have made the worlds first real 128GB thumbdrive. It is named the DataTraveller 200 and actually shows up on Kingstons own site.

Cambrionix have created a USB Hub that is capable of connecting 49 USB devices up to your computer. If you are the type of person who has a ton of USB devices that you could connect up then this product is for you. The hub takes it’s power from a standard ATX power supply and allows you to access a number of devices without having to unplug and replug all the time.
I guess to fill up all 49 ports you’ll have to either look at buying a ton of cameras and MP3 players or settle for cheaper USB cups, hand and foot warmers and what not as I really think 49 is pushing is a bit too far. [click to continue…]

With the launch of the new Transformers movie coming soon it’s time we started seeing a few more gadgets themed as such. Along comes the Transformer USB Flash Drive. The flash drive is capable of transforming in to Ravage who was a pet robot of Soundwave.
Soundwave was a robot that transformed in to a cassette player and the cassettes inside also transformed in to various creatures, Ravage being one of them. The problem these days with this thinking is that nobody uses cassettes any more which makes using a USB flash drive the perfect alternative. [click to continue…]
