This is a handy gadget for people who travel a lot. We speak from personal experience when we say that carrying all those chargers for every single gadget we take with us is a bit of a annoyance.
Now you can use this gadget to power almost any gadget (the ones who use USB to fetch power).
The $25.00 gadget also features a surge-protector, for those untrustworthy hotel power outlets.

If our previous usb air conditioned shirt didn't really interest you, then maybe this will.This USB necktie will make sure you feel cool all day long. It's pretty simple to use: you hook up your tie to your computer through USB. A fan, located at the top of the tie, will make sure your body stays cool.
One advantage this has over the air conditioned shirt is that it does support batteries. So you do not have to stay connected to your computer in order for the fan to do the cooling. You can simply walk around with a couple of batteries in your pocket and the fan will still function.
More info available here (japanese).
If you are living in an area where there's poor phone reception, then we have a solution for you.Meet the Cellranger, priced at $150, this USB dongle strengthens any cell phone's signal by 2 to 3 bars. It's also useful to extend the signal of a 3G device. It has a 6ft coverage radius and can be hooked up to any standard cellphone or unidirectional antenna.
More info available on the product page.
Yes summer is in the country and that means beaches, cocktails and hot weather.But too hot is annoying, especially if you have to do so labor. That's why Kuchofuku (Japan) invented an air conditioned shirt. It might seem ridiculous to build a shirt with a built-in fan, but we've seen crazier things.
Unfortunately it does not work with batteries, so you have to be near a computer for the fan to work. You need use USB to power the fan, so it's perfect for when you're sitting behind your computer all day long without air conditioning in the room.
Price for this cool gadget is $169.
Make no mistake, this is not your ordinary pen.It's actually a big larger than any normal pen would be, but it's features are far more remarkable.
This pen comes with 2GB or 4GB flash memory allowing you to capture up to 30 hours of video or audio. The resolution is only 352x288, but hey this is just a spy pen for amateurs.
You can connect the pen with your computer through USB to charge it or to retrieve the captured data. Only drawback is that the battery only lasts for about 2 hours.
The 2GB model will cost you $199.95 while the 4GB costs $249.95.
Both are available on the Brick house security site.

This is an odd-looking gadget! First of all, this is not a hamster wheel for real life hamsters. It's a fake hamster exercising in a USB hamster wheel.The idea is this: the faster you type the faster the hamster will run inside the wheel.
This is the perfect pet, low maintenance and low cost.
Maybe somebody could invent a hamster wheel where a real hamster charges the battery of our notebook?
Anyway, this gadget toy is available for purchase at $50 in this online gadget shop

Sure there are tons of USB-sticks in various formats, but we bet you haven't seen one of these. Who could've figured out there was room to implement a USB-stick inside a shaver?My guess is that nobody will actually use this, except for spies smuggling data.
