Review: 4 Port USB Car Charger Adapter
Review: 4 Port USB Car Charger Adapter
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 Continue ReadingUSB Powers the New Touchscreen Blackberry Storm
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.
USB Finger Skateboard Makes Any Parent Smile
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.The USB finger skateboard would be an ideal controller stick for your kids favorite skateboard game.

WD-40 Could Be A USB Stick’s Best Friend
In the rare situation your USB stick finds it’s way into the wash, there are a couple of steps you can take to help get the device back on track if it isn’t working.
You’ll need a little space, time, [sunlight wouldn’t hurt] and some WD-40. Ya, WD-40.
According to Kevin at JK On The Run, it’s a critical step in the saving of your USB stick.
So in the unlucky event your drive went through the wash, don’t throw it in the trash. Try these steps first.
- Open up the USB stick plastic case and set everything out for a dry.
- Sunlight would speed the process, but I would recommend at least 24 hours of dry time.
- Next, take the PCB board and memory and spray it down with some WD-40. The idea hear is to avoid any metal contacts to become rusted or corroded, as once you close up the plastic case, it’s a great environment for moisture to do some good damage. The WD-40 will help prevent moisture damage.
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.

World’s Largest USB Stick: 64GB From Transcend
This isn’t the first time we’ve reported on the World’s largest USB flash drive as that bar continues to rise.
Yesterday [Sep 23, 2008] Transcend announced their newest V20 drive is available at 64GBs. That’s as big as my laptop from 10 years ago. Now it’s the size of my thumb. I put the date in here to so we can reflect back in another 5 years and laugh.
The V20 Transcend includes their value add JetFlash elite data management suite which includes:Â Software that turns the V20 into a key to automatically log on to website accounts, or even temporarily lock the computer to prevent unauthorized access. Users can also browse their favorite bookmarked websites and check their email from any compatible computer with the included internet favorites and mobile email functions.
Even though Readyboost never really caught on, the drive has been thoroughly tested for it’s official support.

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 ReadingImation Wireless USB Hard Drive
Yep, you heard it right. Imation, from my understanding, is the first to offer a USB hard drive that is completely wireless. Well, expect for the power cord. The Imation Apollo Pro WX is the wireless hard drive with speeds close to that of wired speeds. Since the product isn’t yet available, we’ll need to wait for real-world results, but I’m keeping an optimistic outlook. Mostly because I REALLY want one.
