Awesome Usb

It’s a little bit late for April 1st, which is why we’ll bite with the i.Saw: it’s a 15″ USB-powered chainsaw with a 3/8″ saw chain, rubber grip handles and safety button to prevent digit loss.

Combining two essential items for road warriors, Brando’s USB Hub and Mouse Pad is an interesting mix: you’ll get a 4-port USB 2.0 hub and a retractable mouse pad with LED backlight.

The tube flashbacks continue with the USB Tube Delight Audio: alas, it’s only shaped like a vacuum tube as it’s really a sound card with a stereo mic input and headphone output.

Elecom’s Wall Socket USB Hub is a “hey, that’s spiffy” idea–at least until you get your real-life electrical plugs mixed up, leading to results that are both eye-catching and eye-singeing.

We love Brando for their “Why not?” products, and this USB Fan/Flashlight is no exception; battery operated with 8 LEDs in the middle, it’s kind of like a blinding whirligig of death.

The Beanzawave brings us one buttprint closer to never leaving our cubicles again: it’s a USB-powered microwave that uses finely tuned cellphone radio frequencies to cook food.

It’s targeted towards engineers for testing purposes, but this 49-Port USB Hub would most definitely ensure we’d never run of ports again–a godsend for overly gadgeted folks.

It isn’t the only mp3 player and flash drive we’ve seen (recall the 1G iPod Shuffle), but this USB MP3 player and microSD reader is dirt cheap and will support up to 32GB cards.

These USB Transformers take Cybertron to your cubicle and include flash drives and mouses; our favorite is Jazz, who transforms into a laptop-shaped USB hub. Thanks, Perry!

These Lego-shaped USB Hubs are actually a good business idea, as they’re just begging to be combined with other bricks; hopefully they’ll be brought over from Korea soon.

It’s just begging to get vacuumed up or otherwise misplaced, but EagleTec’s USB Nano Flash Drive is pretty sweet: this tiny drive packs plenty of storage, with 4GB and 8GB versions.

Brando’s latest cheaptastic gadget is the USB Cubic Card reader, patterned after a Rubik’s Cube; it allows up to 270 degrees of rotation and includes SD, microSD, MMC and XD support.

The gadget gurus at Brando have a new combination uber-dock up; it could use an eSATA port (it uses USB 2.0), but still packs a 2.5″/3.5″ HDD dock, two USB ports and 3W speakers.

Kristofer Hammar’s DIY SNES Cartridge USB Hub is fast and easy; three out of four ports are available, with the last is permanently attached to a flash drive dongle for storage.

Thus far limited to Baltimore, Sprint’s 4G (WiMAX) services will be expanding to 10 cities in 2009 and 5 more in 2010; their U300 USB modem lets you use 3G in non-4G areas.

They’re not just shaped like keys–LaCie’s USB Keys and microSD card reader can be hung from your keychain; sturdy metal and Gold SIP tech lets them survive scrapes and water.

Winner of the CES ’07 Innovation Award, the Powerstick is a portable USB charger that works with cellphones, MP3 players, digital cameras and stops charging once it’s full to save energy.
