USB Volcano

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.

The USB volcano illuminates, so when the lights are off you get a cool glow effect from the LED lights.  Gadgets4All is pitching this as a great décor item to spice up your desk space or turn your boring atmosphere into some more Jurassic Park.  I don’t know about that.  Even at $18 I’m having a hard time finding a reason why.

USB Cabbage Flash Storage

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.

We’ve seen the sushi, Coke cans and cookies – but cabbage?  Come on. Continue Reading

USB Heating Blanket or Shawl

usb heating blanketDo you get the chills while at work but don’t have access to turn down the AC because the boss’ office is over heating from the corner windows?  Well, this USB heating shawl will definitely help. With a quick connection to a USB port, say goodbye to the mid-day chills.  Equally effective would be putting the shawl on your legs if the color doesn’t match your outfit [yes I’m talking to the women out there]. The blanket has a button on two ends to loop together so the shawl doesn’t fall off while warming up.  I could see this as a great office gift for those getting too cold in the summer months from AC or just too cold in the winter…because…well..it’s winter.

The Twin Ion cruiser comes with built in microphone and monitor clip for easy mounting.  Since it’s not available until the end of October [08], you’ll need to get your fix with some Mimobot Darth Vader gadgetry. This isn’t the best web cam gadget to impress your girlfriend, just your buddies, so if you’re still interested the Star Wars web cam is available through Forbidden Plant for $43ish.

Wireless USB Soccer Ball

I’m sure the Spaniards would order a whole nations worth if these if the announcement was made just a few weeks earlier – with their Euro 2008 win and all. The wireless USB soccer ball is a great way to show your support for the game.  Or a great way to get into the upcoming Olympic spirit.  The wireless USB soccer ball, although Goddy looking, seems plenty comfortable for who-ever drops the $22 need for ownership.

Resolution is 800dpi, wheel used as third button, use the mouse up-to 3 feet away, comes with rechargeable AAA Ni-H batteries and good for all Windows operating systems.  USB rechargeable too. Continue Reading

Dexx USB Flash Drive Seconds As Pen Dock Station

I’ve had the problem of too many highlighter pens, no place to put them and a need for USB connectivity.  Therefore, I’m glad Gadgets2Order came up with this Dexx USB design.  The square design acts as a dock station for your yellow, blue and green highlighter pens.  In addition, you’ve got a USB flash drive for storing those digital files.  Yet, the drive size seems too big for easy use with laptops and front panel USB ports which are set-in from the front bezel.

Never-the-less you can turn the Dexx into a USB hub if the flash drive doesn’t work out. One last deal-breaker is a minimum lot of 50 must be ordered at a 7.92 per unit price.  Probably a good idea on paper [bar napkin no less] but doesn’t seem like the best product idea. Continue Reading

This watch has a plastic case covered by stainless steel mask with brushed silver finish and convex mineral glass with shiny raised index. The USB flash drive fits inside the watch case flush with the contours of the watch case – ready to hold your data safe and secure.
What I particularly like about this watch is the claimed “Japanese quartz movement”  Not sure what that means, but if it’s anything like my Honda, this USB watch is dependable and spot-on time. Next we have the USB Timeless watch.  A geekness rendition of what a watch should really look like.  Continue Reading

The USB key – aptly named – is yet another USB promotional item which could very well be a perfect trade-show give away if your someone like Kwikset or Royal Lock.  Or just a fun shaped for those trying to clearly show others it’s got valuable info on your USB stick.

USB LED Message Board with Sound

This isn’t your typical message board at a college campus and it’s no more likely to land you a gig, like a college message board. It’s an LED message board so you can pretty much send a message to yourself or to a co-worker within eye site of your desk. What is different about this LED message board [from others] is the ability to sound out your message as well. USB Geek has an example of a Happy Birthday song for the product which, I must admit, make someone’s birthday kinda fun and surely get a laugh out of the aging recipient.

USB led message board

There isn’t much to the LED message board, just the LED lights which scrolls your message along, a USB connection and simple software to create your message and set sound effects. For just under $25 it could be a fun gadget. What I’d like to do is sync this up with the door-bell so a message would appear to those Mormon folks who always come knocking on my door. Or better yet, sync the LED message board to my Nav station in the car so I can really speak my mind. USB Geek is pushing this for $23 and change. YouTube link. Continue Reading

USB Heat Me Is a Germ Fest

What does a petri dish need to grow bacteria?  In general terms; heat, moisture and light.  So this USB heating device seems like a good idea, but after a few minutes of contemplation – the Heat Me is nothing more than a germ fest.

If one doesn’t clean this off and unplug it after heating their liquid it could get very nasty – makes you wonder why you’d pick this over something more simple [and probably just as effective] as a USB mug warmer. Source:  UberGizmo. Continue Reading
