JTT has just launched the IPHDAVAD, which is iPhone, iPod and iPad attachment that provides a HDMI Out, analog TV out, mini USB Port and USB OTG port. Thus, you can add your USB keyboard, memory card reader and then convert it into HDMI all at once.
Star Wars saga represents, in deed, in one most the most significant movies of all times; the fans are not only loyal to the series but also they are increasing constantly. That’s the main reason for the variety of merchandising going around, and this time with the Star Wars USB drives.
I have to say, the design is just great, I really love the cartoon-looking sketch for each of the characters. And the variety: C-3PO, Wicket, Darth Sidious, Darth Vader Unmasked, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, etc. etc.
Too bad there are tons of sold out 
The models available start from 2GB (U$S29.95) up to 16GB (U$S89.95)
FastMac is introducing quite an interesting gadget for those geek homes: The first outlet with USB 3.0 included as well as 10watts charger for iPads.
U-Socket provides two 10watts outlets, thinking mainly for iPad devices and others with similar capabilities; but also gives us the possibility for USB 3.0 support. USB ports are indeed universal connections and charger for thousands of devices, going from game controllers to shaving machines; so having USB outlets in our homes does sound like a great idea.
But even more, since the U-Socket use USB 3.0 we could use it also to create our own USB network.
The availability of the U-Socket is just around the corner since almost all the tests are practically done; Energy Star already approved this outlet for home use. The cost? $19.95.
The SuperSpeed USB port arrived not so long ago, and now we have our first notebook model that will include this port: ASUS N61Jq.
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 comes to replace the current USB standard, 2.0. And the improvements are really amazing: 4GB per second transfers; establishing communications between the host and each device (USB 2.0 broadcasts packet traffic to all devices); new power management (idle, sleep and suspend states); etc etc.
But the ASUS N61Jq will have a little bit more to show us besides de USB 3.0 feature:
Ready to hear the pricing? U$S999. Not bad uh?
This is definitely one of my favourite products of 2010 and the year has just begun. It’s a wireless device which allows you to insert an SD card and read it on your PC or mobile phone as thou it were connected via a USB cord. This would be excellent for photographers who need to easily transfer files from their SD cards and indeed those who transport SD cards around with them containing important files frequently.
It’s called the Airstash and is targeted at iPhone users because of it’s portability. However it uses WiFi and as such it can be used in conjunction with any other WiFi enabled device or laptop. It is small, weighs very little and supports cards up to 32Gb.It also acts as a WiFi access point. Unfortunately, the fact that it must be accessed via a browser means that you loose your Internet connection when using it. It can also be used as a USB device. However, in my book, so long as it’s not ridiculously over priced (we’re expecting an RRP to be released in a couple of months) then I think I’ll be buying one!
Storage is a huge topic for most technology users. Whether we store locally or in the cloud, there’s never enough space. As a content creator, video, audio, photos, writings, this all takes space, and the more frequent you do it the more quickly your space fills up.
I’m a firm believer of using multiple forms of storage for redundancy and access requirements. I’ve got an account on Zumodrive, Box.net, and Dropbox, each of them for different needs and clients, but I also have two external drives that I back up my main system to, but they are all physical drives that require a direct connection to my computer. Now’s the time to cut those wires and Imation has the answer.
The Imation Pro WX Wireless USB Hard Drive cuts the cords and allows you to store your data from up to 30 ft. away. I at first scoffed at this considering that it did little for me if I’m trying to access my data remotely, but I soon saw uses for this if I’m on my laptop.
Sitting at home and backing up data on your laptop no longer requires a direct connection. If I’m on my couch, and the wireless hard drive is on, I can simply use the USB connection to send data straight to the external.
Personally that’s great, but I’m still a firm believer of the cloud since I don’t want all the data stored locally, but will need access to it on matter where I am. But, if you’re someone who simply uses their computers at home, perhaps this is an option, if you’ve got the money to drop for it ($450).
But if you access all your data from home, a more cost effective external might suffice for now.
How many of you have thumb drives lying around with little use for them? Perhaps you’ve got several external drives that you have to keep plugging in and unplugging when you are not using them. This frustrating experience cycles because there’s never been a suitable solution for all this.
If you’ve not checked out PogoPlug, then this little device could be a life saver for all of you. PogoPlug is a device that allows you to plug all of your USB devices to it and via a portal, you have access to all of your data from any computer/laptop in the world.
Before you throw them away, take a look at PogoPlug and keep all your data accessible. The PogoPlug comes in at a reasonable $99 offering easy setup, easy sharing, and the kicker…iPhone access for those needed to access their PogoPlug on the go.
