This one doesn’t even have a fancy name – it’s just a watch-style USB 4-port hub. Let’s face it (err, sorry) this gadget definitely does exactly what its product description says.

Oh, except it’s totally useless as a watch. Take a closer look at that picture and you’ll see the roman numerals I, II, III and IV simply mark out each USB port.

And the wording on the fake hands? It says “USB 2.0 HUB” and “HIGH SPEED”, which I would have thought was pretty self-explanatory, but there you go.

What does it do besides transporting your data around at up to 480Mbps speeds? It lights up in fluorescent blue when it’s plugged in, that’s what. Wow… you know for $14 you really want one so badly now, I can tell.

Now if they just did a FireWire one too…

I’ve seen a lot of multi-function gadgets lately and by far this may be the oddest of the bunch. I couldn’t imagine why I wouldn’t have pen and paper handy when I’m on my desk, but then again, I can’t really tell what you keep on yours now could I? So if you are always at a loss when you need to write down something then this may be a good pal for you.

You use USB hubs anyway, so why not give your current to a colleague or friend so you can “upgrade” to this one… it’s got pretty lights :) And for the price of US$13 each, I think it’s a steal. I’ve recently passed Radio Shack and the lowest-priced USB hub sells for about US$16.

You can get yours online right here.

And wouldn’t this be a great addition to a dull cubicle? If your boss is too tight to your designer tastes, maybe this subtle hue will change his mind. It is equally functional anyway.

It’s priced at US$22 right here. A tad overpriced, I know, for a USB hub.
