It’s about “time” someone came up with a USB hub that looked like a watch. What better way to suggest to your boss it’s time to leave then prop up your USB hub just before quit’in time [like that would happen]. This should fair particularly well for those clock watcher types.
There is not conformation, but from the look of the images at USB Fever, the 4 port USB hub really does tell time. It connects via miniUSB with 4 port type A connectors.
The watch also illuminates blue if for some reason you are working in the dark.

Don’t know about you, but I’ve been searching for a USB hub with a change tray. It would also be ideal if the hub was in the shape of a turtle.
Oh wait, here we go. Thomas of USBFever answered my prayers. The 4 port high speed 2.0 Hub is a nice addition to your desk where you need a space to store the extra lunch change, post-it notes or small paper clips.
So why is the turtle’s jaw dropping to the floor? It’s an SD card reader for SD, microSD and miniSD flash cards.
The World Fishing Network could use this as a network give-away, the 4 port Fishing USB hub. Besides the fun form factor, this little guy uses it’s two fish eyes to light up when data is being transmitted through the hub.

USB Fever is looking for some fun with their new USB photo frame shaped like a person and a bobble head type photo frame.
The cute little frame will spin 360 degrees and rotate forward and backward by 60 degrees.
Yes, it’s cute, but also useful. The USB photo frame also doubles as a 4 port USB hub…so you’re not just taking up valuable desk space, but making it a bit useful too. After all, with everything USB, a couple extra ports wouldn’t hurt.

USB Fever introduces a quick access volume control via USB. This gadget docs to the side of your monitor or desk and with a swipe of the finger will adjust your volume control.
Great for the gamer or web addicted employee who wants the full experience of multimedia on-line video while reducing the risk of exposure through loud noise when the boss walks by. With the swipe of the finger, that volume is down to mute. Couple the USB volume control with hiding your flash drive on your computer, and you’ll remain stealth hours at a time.
However, for more serious applications this USB volume control is ideal for kiosks where users need to adjust volume, yet no keyboard or mouse are available. This simple USB conntected volume control is the perfect answer. Or maybe older folks who want a quick and easy way to adjust sound volume while using the computer, again the USB Fever volume control is an ideal option.

It all boils down to where you connect the magnets. For the most part this magnetic USB hub is best designed to work with office furniture, cabinets and the like. Probably not the best idea to set it on the computer chassis – although it wouldn’t do too much harm.
The idea behind USBFever’s magnetic hub is convenience. Place it where you need it. There are three magnets on the underside of the 4 port hub with enough strength to hold any combination of USB cables and flash drives in place.
The 4 port USB magnetic hub will only set you back 14 USD plus a couple bucks in shipping.Available via USBFever.

I was so excited to get the new telescope lens for the 3G iPhone, but at the same time, apprehensive that it would be a gimmick. I was thrilled to find out the telescope lens actually worked! The case used to mount the lens also snaps On and Off quite easily.
Using the case without the lens is a great way to add some protection to the iPhone, but when using a dock station, you’ll need to remove the case. The lens screws on and off so you can fit this inside your travel pack and take it out when you need it. Obviously you won’t leave the lens on while cruising around town.It doesn’t come with a lens cover which is fine for me, but considering it’s stored more than used, especially if you are planning to be mobile, it would be nice to have something so the lens doesn’t accidentally scratch. For me, a zip-lock bag works fine.
I took some photos around the house. Just like a real zoom camera lens, you have

I love this thing…It’s exactly what I wanted. I did not want to purchase a different charger for every device I have and my bluetooth speakerphone adapter and both cell phones are all charged via USB cable so now I can charge all three of them through the USBFever 4 port USB car charger and adapter.
I don’t think I’ll ever use all four at once but knowing that you can is empowering (pardon my pun) After a trip to Sea World, my iPhone 3G was just about depleted (no surprise about the short battery life – but I wouldn’t trade it for any other phone, in fact, I’m slowing transitioning from Windows to Mac for my personal computer as I’m not playing FPS games anymore and the Vista Operating System turned into a huge let down for me).
So I decided to set the iPhone stop watch and take some screenshots by pressing

Not every work station is ideal. In fact, most people probably have a desk area overloaded with paper, USB gadgets and family photos, so this portable arm-rest comes in very handy.
Although it’s not a USB gadget, the arm-rest could be an invaluable tool to help fight Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or fatigue from your arm, elbow and shoulders.
Even as I type this article, my elbow is hanging off the side of the desk so a little more desk space would definitely help me.
Ask yourself, do you need a little extra elbow support?
