Star Wars USB Hubs

Hey Star Wars fans- here’s something to add to your collection.  This R2-D2 USB hub has four slots for plugging in all your favorite gadgets like a cordless mouse, your MP3 player, or your Blackberry.  The USB hub even makes those famous sounds that make R2 as endearing as any little robot can be (includes an on/off switch).  This new gadget comes with a USB cable, and it works with Windows XP or later, and Mac OSX or later. The R2-D2 USB hub is set to be available in October, and it’s available for preorder at Play-Asia.

If you want a hub that’s a little more sinister than R2-D2, you can always go with this Darth Vader USB hub.  It also has 4 USB slots, sound effects, and comes with a USB cord.  The Darth Vader USB hub is also available for preorder at Play-Asia.

USB Retro Refrigerator

Keep your drinks cool or hot with this fun USB gadget. It’s a USB refrigerator big enough to hold one can of your favorite soda. I love the retro shape of this thing- just like bringing Grandma’s old refrigerator to your computer desk. This USB refrigerator has a hot and cold button, and will heat up or cool down within just a few seconds.

Just for added giggles, the USB fridge has an interior light which comes on when you open the door. Imagine the envy of your friends and coworkers when they see this cool gadget on your desk. It’s compatible with all operating systems, and I found it at Sourcing Map for $28.99 plus shipping.

Need more USB ports for plugging in your favorite new gadgets? Try a USB hub or USB bar for quickly adding more spots for hooking up.
