We really like this one. LaCie always creates high quality digital media storage devices, but this one can output the videos in 1080p through the use of an HDMI port. The hard drive will come in 250GB, 320GB and 500 GB and will be priced between $170 and $230 depending on the storage size that you choose.
With flash drives starting to hold an astounding amount of data, protection for that data is now more important than ever. This new USB thumbkey that is sold in Japan features a Virus Buster and a specific lock mechanism, encryption mechanism and even logs each usage automatically for you.
This has got to be the easiest way to throw together a makeshift LAN party for some spontaneous fragging. This three port router is powered entirely by one USB port and you and two friends can all share the same internet connection and is capable of speeds up to 100 Mbps. Best part is that it’s only $25.
Bmorn or Blue Morning, a Chinese company released this BM-888 in June.

This is selling for €90 in China.
iRiver makes some of the nicest gadgets out there next to Apple, and they try really hard, but it seems like (understandably) they will always be one step below the iPod giant. It’s too bad, because this new E200 is shaping up to be really nice. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what brand your player is, as long as it suits you and the price is right. iRiver fans definitely understand that concept.
Last I remembered, an octopus had eight arms. Can somebody tell that to the makers of the Octopus USB Hub? It’s cute but come on, it ain’t an octopus if it only has four arms. The four arms of these anatomically-incorrect USB ports have four USB tentacles and comes in three colors: purple, black and white. $10.
Want your files easily accessible on the go but just can’t do with the tiny memory usb flash drives give? Worry not, the iOmega eGo Portable Hard Drive is one device you will love bringing around.

Sweet. $96.
