No pun intended, but this laptop fan is cool looking with a great design. The Dog shapped USB cooling fan is an ideal adition to those working from laptops. With two 6″ built-in cooling fans, it can dissipate heat away from the bottom of your laptop and cool down the the under belly of your laptop.
The USB cooling fan for your laptop comes in either a Dog or Penguin shape and acrylic top. It’s almost a shame you cover up the design with your laptop.
Here is a side view of the laptop cooling pad:

Ahh, Budweiser. I could use a nice cold one right now, but I don’t think this USB beer drive is the answer. First off, it’s not cold – which is how I like it.
Clearly a promotional USB drive for a trade show give-away, this Budweiser stick is the first I’ve ever seen with liquid inside the plastic case. Then again, taking just 5 seconds to think about this and review the picture, there is no way liquid is inside. Rather that’s some nice looking brown plastic and fake white bubbles for an ever-so-real look. How could this thing still have carbonation?
If you’re a fool and think this USB drive is drinkable – then you really do need a drink.

Sony is definitely not a team player when it comes to formats and building a universal base for outside development [Betamax and Memory Stick to name a few] but Sony did make a small step in the right direction with their Marine CD Receivers.
The Sony Marine CD Receiver is a wired remote which allows connection via USB from iPods or iPhones for digital music playback.
The Sony Marine uses a powerful navigation dial system to weed through your extensive audio collection or you can use the connected device itself to select your song of choice.
The Sony Marine is comprised of two units with remote connecting via USB. The main unit, like a typical stereo and the RM-X60M remote to control your stereo, well remotely. Both head units share DM+ technology that enhances the sound quality of compressed audio files such as supported MP3 and non-DRM WMA and AAC formats.
The remote will be priced at $130 when it ships, and the CDX-H910UI marine receiver priced at about $350. Nothing for a boat is cheap. After all doesn’t B.O.A.T. mean Bust out Another Thousand?

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

Here is an excellent example for the term “useless USB gadget,” the USB volcano. The USB volcano is comprised of a plastic shaped volcano which blows red plastic bubbles out from the center after you’ve filled up the jar with water.
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

I’m a big Blackberry fan and yesterday I received a notice in the mail for the long awaited touchscreen Blackberry. It’s finally making the grand enterance. Coming out in about 1 month is the Blackberry Storm. This new touchscreen is a direct competitor to the iPhone and a nice addition to the RIM product lineup. After all, they’ve been behind for about 1 year.
The Blackberry Storm will be offered by Verizon in the US, has four front panel buttons and is powered by USB. For me, I like the four button navigation and sleek look of the Storm. What I’m a little concerned about is the touchscreen typing. I’m afraid nothing will compare to the Quirky keyboard I currently use on my World Edition. I’ve tried the iPhone and it’s a nightmare, I’m hoping the Storm will be a little better.
I couldn’t dig some details such as price and whether the Storm has a camera or not. The image shown had some criticism that it was photochopped, but it looks identical to the official Verizon notice I received yesterday.

There are some things in this world I just don’t get. Like the idea that space has no end, or how strong a little ant can be…or why someone would make a USB cabbage flash drive.
The only explanation I can drum up, is a food emporium having an expo and some [out of touch person] thought it would be fun to make flash storage in the shape of cabbage leaves. Strange.
Interactive motion control games are definitely at the top of most kid’s lists.  The Wii was so popular we’ve got blogs about it, and last Christmas it was THE gift to give. This year, another motion control game piece might be the hot ticket. Actiga is announcing a full line of mini-motion controllers for gaming this fall. Below is a picture of those hard-to-get finger skateboards, mounted on a pivot ball and connects via USB.
USB controllers will be available for both Mac and PC systems in versions that look like realistic skateboards, RC Cars, baseball, and a futuristic racing vehicle. Each of the controllers will connect via USB and will sell for $19.99. It’s not clear if the controller has games built-in like the plug-and-play devices for TV or if they are simply controllers to be used with other PC games already on the market.
Mini-Box is pushing a sweet little and compact external USB LCD display with a 4 line by 20 character display called the PicoLCD. At just $49 in single purchase use, the PicoLCD is an ideal solution for those needed an external navigation system for an embedded product or a product with limited space for navigation control.
The PicoLCD connects via USB and is a full speed device. With the 4×20 character display you can program to show just about any amount of information you need. There is a 7 button menu system which includes a scroll up and down and Enter/OK button. In addition you have the ESC, F1, F2, F3 and Home button.
The PicoLCD has a light blue background with white characters making it easy to read in just about any light source and situation.
