For those of us out there daisy-chaining USB hubs because one is never enough, Sanwa has produced a 12-port beauty that will satisfy any USB junkie.
The 400-HUB009 should have the most inputs you’d ever need. What you will need is a cord tethering system for this hub given its design as you computer will obviously only be on one side of the hub.
On sale now it Japan for about $54.

While it may look a little frumpy, it also looks pretty cool, especially for $12. Featuring three rotary 2.0 compatible USB inputs, it also sports a multi-card reader(MS/M2/SD/SDHC/MicroSD), and a fahrenheit thermometer.
What temperature does it measure though? The room it’s in or the heat of the actual hub? Useful? Who knows. While sort of on par with the Griffin Simplifi, it’s nice to see USB hubs take on more responsibility. This USB hub is available in three colors and is 0n sale now. …Continue reading: Generic USB Hub With Card Reader And Thermometer Looks A Bit Like A Midget’s Stapler

Vampire power has long been addressed in power strips with the addition of individual kill switches per outlet, but what about those powered USB ports? The BSH4A02 4-port USB hub from Buffalo features a power switch per port, ostensibly letting you disable select USB devices while saving power and preventing ports from being fried during start up. Each switch features an LED light to indicate power and the hub itself is available in 4 colors. No word on a US release date, but expect it to go on sale in Japan this October for $40.

With the everyday clutter arising around your computer from having too many gadgets (is there such a thing?!), the Griffin Simplifi offers you an easy and compact solution to help you organize mounting untidiness.
The Griffin Simplifi is an all-in-one card reader, USB hub, and iPod/iPhone dock that lets you clear up your desktop while disguising itself as a polished Apple product. The card reader is capable of accessing SD/SDHC/XD/Sony (pro) memory sticks and compact flash cards. There are two USB inputs in the back of the Simplifi and it comes with six plastic moldings to fit a variety Apple iPods and iPhones. Also included is a rather short USB cable to attach to your computer and an AC wall plug.
As I mentioned earlier, the Simplifi looks a lot like an Apple product with its anodized aluminum finish and glossy white plastic sides and moldings. A very bright neon blue light gushes from the Simplifi denoting power and will flicker when you put a memory card in. Underneath the Simplifi is a rubber stopper the covers the majority of the base and gives it more balance and weight to keep the device grounded, so it’s not sliding all over the place. USB slots could be more spread out or there is easily room for two more.
