Love It or Leave It? USB Hub Man

I always find that extra USB ports can never go unused, especially when they come in cute styles such as this one which I saw on technabob. The USB Hub Man from Kikkerland comes with four ports, which are located at the end of his flexible arms and legs. Find all the electronics inside his cute little belly and watch for a tiny green LED light near his heart as the power indicator. Only one port runs at the standard 2.0 USB speed so you won't be able to max out all four ports at once. Stay tuned for availability and purchasing info. Pricing is said to be around $19. What do you think?

    It's awesome, and practical too. Most small USB hubs have the ports too close together for wide devices. This doesn't have that problem!

    Could that be any cuter? I bet once you get all the devices plugged in with all those cables he will look like he's struggling to get out of that mess Eye-wink

    It's cute, and I like that there is lots of space between them.

    very cute! i like how the usb bits are all the way around so you can attach larger items to them, rather than the ones that are all squished together and make it hard to plug certain items in.

    That's adorable!!! The only thing I wouldn't like about it, is it looks like it would get tangled easily. Also... it'd probably make it harder to conceal unsightly wires >__<

    cute plus it is good to have lots space between each port for youir devices. too many hubs out there have little space, making it pretty useless.

    with the exception that only one USB port can be used at 2.0...this looks pretty useful b/c there are times when you're using a card reader or a bulky usb drive that you need more room than is available between side by side or stacked usb ports. kind of the same idea as the power squid outlet multiplier. thumbs up!

    oooh, this is a great idea, useful for people who have thumb drives which they can't fit in a side-by-side USB hub. (myself included) Plus, he's just so darn cute!

    It's cute but that little plastic "head" is just another piece of plastic that will need thousands of years to biodegrade.
