The Perfect Gadget Mouse

So what would your fully loaded gadget mouse hold? I would start with the Brando USB mouse label maker. That’s a great idea – although for limited labeling – as it’s a small area to hold ribbon.

In addition, I’d like to see a flash memory card read for download. Maybe a VoIP phone for when I travel. How about an aroma dish on the side to make the office smell nice. Tack on some gaming buttons for when I need to take a break and play half-life. And to top it off, cover the super gadget mouse with Continue Reading

LG MP3 Player the UP3 Stone Sports USB

Looking for an edge in the marketplace, LG is launching a “jewelry concept” line of MP3 players. The Stone has been around, but the newer version has brushed metal body, USB connector and full color 65,000 OLED display.

The Shining Stone UPS S2 comes in 1, 2 & 4GB sizes with jewelry like style names such as black diamond, crystal silver, ruby red, pink topaz and sapphire blue.

USB Chicken Feed

Today is Halloween 2007 and I figured to throw in a dressed up USB drive. Whazatt put enough effort into marketing this USB Chicken foot.
As Vice President Roy Barker states, “This is an opportunity to make the extraordinary out of the ordinary—to be creative and functional at the same time. We love this product for the simple fact that it can make people walking by stop, turn their head and have a laugh.”

Gundam USB Gadgets for the Mecha Fan

Banpresto of Japan is coming out with a full line of Gundam gadgets. Of the collection are two USB gadgets, USB hub and USB Ionizer.

So what is Gundam? It’s a 30 year old Odyssey for the Japanese geek, like Star Wars or Harry Potter for the folks in the West.
The original series, which introduced a war between the Earth Federation and the rebellious space colonies of Zeon, didn’t even muster a large enough audience to warrant a full season back in 1979. Yet it spawned a group of TV, movie and manga sequels, spin-offs and compilations so extensive that only the most ardent fan could even try—and probably fail—to list them all.
So given this information my US readers have fallen asleep or clicked off to another site, but for my Japanese fan base [small] Gundam is getting into Continue Reading

USB Blender Alarm Clock Blends Plastic At Tone

Well, we don’t get it either. The USB blender from Brando spins up when the alarm goes off. One could argue the plastic balls inside the blender make for a shocking alarm clock sound, but then you have to explain the odd looking blender in your bedroom. I doubt anyone would put this on their desk, unless it really could blend a happy hour drink.

The USB blender doesn’t stop at blending, Brando worked in four different 70’s game show tunes to compliment the retro style design. I’m still having a hard time getting over the concept of blender alarm clock. Maybe a Christmas USB gadget gift for some culinary school which Brando now thinks the masses will want?
