What would you do if you had to copy a couple of hundred megs of data to 20 USB drives in under 5 minutes? That’s easy, right? But look at the constraint – you have only one PC. Now, that’s a toughie.
The Nexcopy USB duplicator allows you to copy as much as 250MB of data to 20 USB drives in one shot. In under 4 minutes. Now, who can beat that? For companies, this device can save much time and effort, for example, when duplicating official data on USB drives for distribution among employees. Or for a company marketing a new product during a promotional campaign.
This giant USB duplicator with equally giant possibilities sells at a pricey $1299.

Maybe you were just surfing around for your next career or were up to something more sinful, when your boss decides to show up behind your back, literally. Instead of painstakingly trying to revive a decent screen on your PC, and in the process look like a silly baboon, you can now make a swift and smart move using the USB Smart Privacy Mouse and convince him that you were really being a sincere employee.
The USB Smart Privacy Mouse, as you must have already guessed, is for the wily amongst us. It has a “secret” button that can be configured to conceal any (and all) programs that you would consider private and instead bring up “decent” programs in times of need. So let’s say you are on a chat application, bitching about your boss and the devil himself walks in to say hello. Hit the button on the Smart Privacy Mouse, and voila – the screen displays the time report that you have been working so hard on. Happy boss, happy you. Smart indeed. Get wicked at $19.99.

Ever missed the best part of your movie because you’re on a 6 hour flight? Has your camera died right when an amazing party gets interesting? Spent time looking for a pay phone (too timid to ask for fear of being laughed at), because you forgot to charge your cell?
Ecosol Powerstick is a wonderful addition to your growing gadget family. About the size of your pinky finger, the Ecosol Powerstick stores nearly 90 minutes of backup power to your device of choice via USB and it’s nine different adapters (will work with PCs and Macs, including the new MacBook Air).

It's a challenge to keep a home office (or any office) from looking like a great big eyesore if you have a lot of peripherals attached to your computer (not that this is the only reason it might be an eyesore). And if you have a lot of cables waiting their turn to be plugged in, or if your hub itself is one of those little plastic things that collects dust under the desk, things just get lost. In my office, small devices just slide away and disappear if they're not anchored down somehow.
This weighted DomeHub USB 2.0 by Kensington, with non-skid feet, is not likely to fly away, even when you're pulling and pushing to connect and disconnect devices. It contains 7 ports, which should be enough for all of your essential USB needs as well as a few ridiculous USB toys that nobody needs.
Now around $38 at Amazon
(Flylight USB Notebook Light included).

Foodies who need 1 or 2 gigs of data with them at all times are never in short supply of USB drives in the shape of their favorite sweet treats and other baked goods. While I make do with run-of-the-mill rectangles year after year, techies with a passion for food get to feast their eyes on newly fashioned flash drives as quickly as Vavolo can take them out of the oven.
The company's newest offering in the world of inedible digital delectables is the Fortune Cookie USB Drive. Unaware perhaps that real fortune cookies are usually complimentary and tannish in color, Vavolo's menu lists green, blue, red, and pink cookies alongside the "yellow" ones shown above for $30 (1GB) and $50 (2GB) apiece.

My husband and I just put out our fiber optic Christmas tree this afternoon, so the idea of spreading the holiday cheer to my workspace is pretty appealing right now.
Rather than drape my monitor with garland or type through a layer of spray snow, this year I think I'll plug one of these $10 USB Christmas trees into my computer's USB port. Each plastic tree stands proudly at a majestic six inches and lights up with alternating red, green, blue, and cyan LEDs. How festive!

We've seen dessert-shaped USB drives before, but this really takes the cake. Literally!
It's a four-port USB hub in the shape of a heavily frosted mini Christmas cake (4.7" x 4.7" x 5.1") decorated with - and this is adorable - removable 1GB USB strawberries. How cute is that? If it didn't carry a price that would cause even Santa to do a double-take, I wouldn't mind seeing one in my stocking.
Available now through December 3rd from Rakuten for 50,000 yen (about $465).

What if you could add some pizazz to your PC without having to go hard on your pocket? Because here comes a wooden keyboard that you can finally afford. For the really, really cheap price of $19.99, you get a lovely wooden mouse as well. Of course, the durability of the keyboard-mouse combo isn’t guaranteed, but that shouldn’t be a huge concern considering the price you're paying.

If your sweet tooth felt jilted by Vavolo's Freshly Baked USB drives, then you'll love the company's adorable new Frosted Donut series.
Each chocolate, strawberry, and green tea (yum?) donut measures 2.6" x 1.4" 1.4" and looks to be available for $3.63 . . . but only in bulk orders of 500. This isn't much of a problem when you think about it, though. Since everyone would probably want one of each flavor, you'd really only need to round up 165.6666 of your closest pals to get a box.

I never have enough USB ports and I really didn't want one of the novelty hamburger/Christmas tree/copulating animal ones, so this 180° Revolving Hub from USB Brando is just what I need. Port 1 and Port 2 can be revolved 180° and as you can see, you can easily adjust the angle of the ports and connect any other USB devices.
Features:
- 180° revolving hub
- Aluminum case body
- USB 2.0
- Plug and play, hot swapping
- Red LED indicator
- Size: 106x20x20mm
- Weight: 43g
Besides, the fact that it looks like a kid's toy is always a plus. $16 from USB Brando.
