With the abundance of gadgets people have these days, it’s no wonder you have more items than USB ports. That’s why the USB hub was invented. And if you’re going to get a USB hub, why not get one that’s in the shape of an octopus. The Octopus USB Hub features four separate USB ports, one on the end of each of the hub’s “tentacles.” Really, this is pretty practical, and you don’t have to worry about your gizmos being cluttered all together on your desk.

USB drives may have ever expanding capacities but they also have ever shrinking physical sizes... Taking the prize of new mini monster from the SuperTalent Pico is the new Buffalo 'RUF2' flash drive which measures just 5mm long and yet packs in a whopping 16GB of flash storage. Buffalo has yet to reveal the performance specifications of its mini marvel but given it barely extends any larger than the USB slot itself we're prepared to cut it some slack.
