I believe the optical finger mouse is a key component to a successful multi-tasker as it allows your fingers never to leave the keyboard so you can crank through those blog posts – o maybe a mobile environment where a flat surface isn’t available.
USB Fever is set to release an all new 2.4Ghz wireless Optical Finger Mouse with USB dongle at just $27. Include a wireless keyboard and become the ultimate mobile office worrier.
The finger mouse comes with 3 ring sizes and great resolution of 1000dpi along with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery which powers up via USB cable.

Albeit U3 claims no trace of U3 software remains on the host PC it doesn’t hurt to run a registry analyzer package just to make sure. While in the midst of doing this USB gadget research, I found the following free utility.
Ntechnologies has a U3 specific reg analyzer to aid in the registry clean-up process.
Whenever hardware or software is added to a PC there are registry changes. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the OS kernel, exposing runtime information such as performance counters, currently active hardware, software and utilities.
Even using the U3 uninstall software might not leave your PC 100% clean. You can download the Registry Analyzer for U3here.

Ion Audio introduced the USB turntable a while back. It’s an excellent tool for converting vinyl records to MP3. It’s interesting to see the growth of this product from when I first reported on it. At the time back orders took nearly 6 weeks to fill, now I see them at Costco and every holiday mail-order magazine that appears on my doorstep.
Ion Audio has stepped it up – and I’m thinking it’s from popular demand. The Ion USB turntable now has an iPod dock station so going from LP to iPod is nothing more than

Convergence is always a technology innovation most appreciate. The folks with the most creative and useful ideas generally land on top. Here is an example of an idea that is middle ground. The rechargeable USB lighter that doubles as USB drive.
So here is how the design works. Rather than using fuel as in traditional lighters, the USB lighter uses electric coils for sparking up. So just like a car cigarette lighter (if they even make them anymore) the electric coils recharge via USB. The convergence is where you stuff in some solid state memory so when your Kool cigarette lighter is plugged into your PC you have a logical excuse that it’s a novelty USB drive rather then broadcasting your smoking habits – although it’s the same difference I suppose.
For the decreasing number of smokers out there the design is unfortunately just that, nothing in production as of yet.
