If you are a Tron fan these light cycle USB drives might be a good addition to your gift list this year. The white USB is designed after Kevin Flynn’s Light Cycle and is available in either a 4GB or 8GB storage capacity.
The black is also available as either in 4GB or 8GB and is designed after Sam Flynn’s light cycle from the up and coming movie that will be released on 17th December 2010.
When transferring data to either of the USB drives the wheels of the bike will flash showing data transfer. The 8GB drive is available for $34.99 and the 4GB at $24.99 from the Toysrus website.
The new movie it the sequel to the first popular Tron film from 1982. The new Tron film finds Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn. Finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 20 years. Should be exciting especially in 3D.
We’ve had to tolerate wireless USB adapters that were several inches long for years and now the folks over at trendNET has finally come up with a solution to that by offering a wireless USB adapter that is tiny, similar to the wireless receivers used by Microsoft and Logitech for their portable mice nowadays.
The trendNET TEW-648UBM is touted as the world’s smallest 802.11n adapter and supports speeds of up to 150Mbps, measuring in at just 0.59” x 0.74” x 0.28” and only sticks out of the USB port by 0.3″ when installed, allowing you to leave it plugged in most of the time. The adapter is priced at $39.99, though the trendNET online store is currently offering it for $15.99.
This particular Legend of Zelda NES cartridge has been converted in to an external hard drive with a 1TB capacity.
The external drive has a USB connector allowing you to connect it to a Mac or PC. When connected you’ll be able to transfer any files over to it like you would with any other external drive.
Other capacities are also available with drives starting at 500GB, on to 750GB and finally on to the 1TB mentioned above. Each drive inside measures 2.5 inches and is made by Toshiba.
The drives are of course custom built and available over at Etsy.
Price wise, the 1TB model costs $180 while the smaller ones cost $150 and $130 with the latter being the smallest capacity drive.
It never feels right when you play a classic MAME-emulated game using a keyboard or a modern controller that’s been designed with ergonomics in mind. It’s still fun, but if your hands aren’t sore after 10 minutes the sense of nostalgia just isn’t there.
So do yourself a favor and pick up one of these classic one-button joysticks from ThinkGeek ($24.99) which now feature a USB port allowing it to be connected to a PC or Mac, without drivers, for a truly authentic MAME experience.
You tinkerers out there will also appreciate the fact that the joystick’s circuit board actually supports two more buttons, so with a little wiring and Dremel work you can turn this into some kind of super-advanced 3-button model from the future.

We haven’t written about chargers for a long time. But we absolutely do not want to present just another gadget “charging a dozen phones from one socket”, as there are too many of them already. And there are few people who have more than five phones / gadgets / players to charge at home. And this is not the problem anymore. Quite another thing is the road. Charging, especially emergently, on the road always caused some difficulties. This gadget is just for such a case.
If you hike for a long time, and the battery of the phone is low, and you cannot see any markings in the dark, which will help your friends to find you and you can’t get a taxi- it would be better to have a handy USB Power Bar. This little gadget is a battery that can recharge your mobile phone, and at the same time, a flashlight, allowing not to get lost in the darkness.
The kit comes with 7 various adapters for the most common models of mobile phones.
You can buy battery-flashlight for $32 in USBGeek store.

But this post is not about time and not even alarm clocks, about which we often write lately. Today we’d like to present you a new USB-flash.
To be precise, it is the most gothic USB-flash that I have ever seen. In any case, this is one of those which are made in the form of a ring. 2 gigabytes memory, of course, is not quite up to modern demands, but USB-accessories for some reason are launched with this memory.
However you have to pay for the beauty and handmade work of Japanese (all flashes are made by hand in Japan). One such ring will cost you $145,5.
For those who own a large collection of rare movies or films stored on a videotape, we can advise a simple and convenient way to transform it into a digital form.
It’s enough to purchase a video player ION VHS USB, which supports video standards VHS, VHS-C, as well as 8MM. It is connected to a computer via USB. The principle is simple: the player is inserted into a cassette, and then on the PC is transmitted uncompressed video, which with the help of special software can be converted into DVD-discs or play on your iPods or PSP portable game consoles.
ION VHS USB has standard connectors (RCA and composite video) to connect to any TV or home theater, and the presence of RCA inputs allows you to connect the device to digitize the analog video cameras and video directly from them.
ION VHS USB costs $200. In my opinion, this is a good solution for amateur home video studio, what do think?
