Le hub en "y" d'USB de Apacer est une conception intelligente, mais elle n'est pas première fois nous l'avons vu.  RiDATA présente une commande instantanée avec le hub à deux orifices combo de l'arrière, que je me demande toujours pourquoi il n'a pas gagné plus de popularité, environ il y a une année.  L'Apacer en "y" Hub d'USB augmente la connectivité gauche au-dessus du RiDATA par double, mais n'a pas le stockage instantané de mémoire.

Apacer PH151 emploie un raccordement de miniUSB à l'ordinateur principal [par l'intermédiaire du câble] et puis fournit deux ports verticaux et deux ports horizontaux.  À moi, une fois que vous avez enroulé un câble au hub, il n'importe pas quelle forme il est po.  Le bâton juste votre dispositif dedans et disparaissent.  L'avantage clair avec cette conception, augmente (plus…)

Fièvre d'USB pense en dehors de la boîte sur celle-ci.  Allant loin des hub standard d'USB de boîte, ce hub est tout le câble.  Continuer le long des lignes de la fièvre de pensée abstraite d'USB inclut un cable électrique séparé pour extraire le jus à partir de l'autobus de système seulement afin de mettre ces périphériques.

Ainsi nous regardons un raccordement ascendant d'USB, un port 4 Hub d'USB lié par des câbles avec une ligne à haute tension consacrée (chapeau rouge) pour ces instruments altérés.

Vous devriez noter, un des quatre ports d'USB est un mini raccordement d'USB.  Tout ceci pour juste $14 + $3 embarquant.

With the exception of Mickey Mouse…is a mouse really that cute you need to make a million gadgets shaped like them?

Nope.  But that doesn’t stop Brando.  Here is a classic example.  The USB mouse stands on four USB port legs.  The legs can swivel around for easy connection, but even after a single device is connected the mouse wont stand…so what’s the point.  Oh there isn’t one?  OK.

Available in two colors of green or pink with high speed USB transfer rates you can add another animated animal to your drawer of crap for just $12.

Yesterday we spoke about the asterisk USB hub which solved a basic problem of USB ports being too close together.  Today, Brando announces a new turnable USB hub which also address tight layout of USB ports found on most hubs.  The turnable USB hub not only offers the ability to rotate 180 degrees for each connector, but Brando spiced it up with some flashy color.  Making it easy to find that hub in your pile of papers, coffee cups and other desk junk.

Running through the rainbow colors you have a 4 port hub with one up-stream port.  From purple, to red, orange, yellow and finally green.

It’s definitely a fun looking little hub which might double as a 1 year old twisty-turn toy.  Price from Brando is $12.00 with a few more chips for shipping cost.

The Asterisk USB hub is one fancy looking device, too bad it doesn’t work. This is another design prototype from contempo designer Joel Escalona. What I like about this layout, besides the bright Ferrari red is the space between each USB port. Too often have I not been able to use all the ports of a USB hub, making it half as efficient as what it should be.

The issue I see with Asterisco hub (Asterisk hub) is how wide it would be if directly connected to a USB port. It would clearly block other ports to the sides, so an extension cord would be needed to make this ideal. Give and take I suppose.

If you are not familiar with Joel’s work, maybe you can jump over to view his USB bomb or USB furniture. Both are enjoyable to consider.

Joel - if you’re out there - has anyone picked these up for production? (more…)

Here we see a Hershey’s bar style USB dock station which is great on creativity but short on functionality.

Judging from the picture it’s hard to determine what the LCD display is for as without an internal processor of some sort there is now way to parallel the drives or sort through the data which resides on them.

Now the modular look of the device is interesting and IF you could strip together the drives for a modular type hard drive there might be a buyer out there…somewhere. Even in that instance sharing data on multiple devices would prove useless if one of the UFDs was removed.

SO, given the concept design is seems nothing more extravagant than a USB hub with customized UFDs.
