Going out for a skiing holiday to Alaska? A trip to the Amazon rainforest, or a trekking expedition in Tibet? Consider that you will not find a number of things there that we ordinarily take for granted. You will not find a decent toilet, you will not find good beer, and you will not find any easy means to store your videos or images on the tour.

The disk space for your images and videos can quickly load up, and gone are the days of films that you could replace with a pack of new ones. This is the day of digital cameras, and their memories, though large, and by no means unlimited, as you will quickly find out on your trip. A few long movie shoots, or a few hundred images, can quickly overload your memory and leave you wanting for more disk space. Since it is hardly possible to zap out that laptop and transfer the stuff, you will likely be in need of an USB memory card reader.

This handy device, coupled with an SD card, a Compact Flash card or an MMC card, can act as a large storage USB device. The card reader comes with not only reading capacity, but it can write as well, so it is very useful to travelers without any other memory storage medium. Many of these devices are multi card readers, capable of reading from, and writing into, different types of flash memory cards. Using one of these can be efficient if you are carrying devices with particular cards inside them.

For people who just don’t have the time sit and grab a proper breakfast and read their morning newspaper at the same, the Scan Toaster might be just the perfect home appliance. The unique design was conceptualized by designer Sung Bae Chang and even made it to the finals of a design competition held by appliance manufacturer Electrolux. The space-age gizmo connects to your PC via a USB port and downloads all kinda crap from weather to headlines or even cartoon strips right onto the bread. Thanks to a network of toasting “modules” heated by a hot wire, the toaster can burn content selected by the user on the slice. And this is where the old phrase “news you can use” starts to make real sense!

World class scanner from Visioneer

The latest offer from Visioneer, an innovative company offering solutions in the document imaging space has unveiled its latest offering. The super-slim, completely portable, plug and play, USB compatible is a high resolution color flatbed scanner — The Vsioneer One Touch 7300, which can scan up to 1200X1200 DPI in 48 bit color.

Featuring a super-slim look, the OneTouch 7300 scanner is powered by a USB Bus and has a smooth operating hinged lid to provide greatest mobility and flexibility to scan documents and pictures. The accompaniments with the hardware includes a suite of software which offers complete solution for small entrepreneurs. The flexible hinges on the lid enables users to scan thick books too, 3D objects and complex text very effectively.

Modern technology has enabled the OneTouch 7300 to have five main buttons to accomplish the functions of scan, copy, OCR, email, print and transfer files to the computer. One doesn’t have to bother opening the software in the PC to scan, just the press of a button can do this task. All the buttons are pre-programmed at their best usage for these common tasks, making it easy for novice users to start off instantaneously.

The main advantage of the OneTouch series of scanners is the interface which takes the users through the entire process of scanning just at the press of a button and doesn’t limit itself to opening the programme. Experts will quickly learn to tailor the scanner to their requirements and make the user experience even more powerful.

There are users who have been using this scanner and are very happy with this. They not only use it to scan but to copy, print, e-mail etc. I have come across users who have used all the features of the One Touch and swear by it.

Setting up the One Touch for use at your office is perhaps the easiest thing to do. One button or click of mouse can do wonders in this scanner. The USB interface makes it simply easy to install and connect to the PC/ laptop.

The only drawback or complaint I have about the product is the slight noise the scanner makes when it fires up for the first time. During all other tasks it is more or less silent. Priced at $75-85 I feel that this scanner is worth its money.

It can be quite frustrating for non-smokers (wink!) like me to walk into a room filled with cigarette smoke. I am sure most of you have had heated altercations with smoking colleagues for having fogged up the room. Well, your prayers have just been answered. Meet the USB Ashtray that not only acts as a stub-collector, but also a smoke vent.

The USB ashtray draws smoke from a room into its central inlet with the help of a powerful motor. The smoke is then filtered by a built-in filter and fresh air is discharged from an outlet located on the side. The company doesn’t promise you 100% pure air, but guarantees you of a significant difference in the air purity.

The USB ashtray can run with the help of USB power or four AA batteries during a power outage. The device retails at a decent $16.50. Go and get one for yourself.

Are you the USB port-hungry, computer geek who falls asleep opening letters and envelopes? If your answer manages to be ‘yes’, then this three in one, USB-hub/alarm clock/letter-opener may just be the right toy for you.

This cute thing features four USB ports, a fully automated letter opener and an alarm clock. All these in one complete and compact package. The hub runs on three AA batteries.

The time of availability or price of this product is yet to be disclosed. My guess is that the one who buys this device will definitely be some guy who doesn’t mind spending some extra bucks on a weirdo,
battery-hungry appliance that tries to do stuff like 007’s multipurpose watch. So we can surely expect the pricing to be somewhat expensive.

Goodness me ! With ‘complete packages’ like these rolling out, we can gleefully look forward to the days when a toothbrush will be used to guide people stranded in the dark and even cut carrots with.

Tao Mao has already enthralled us with his Bracelet phone I, Bracelet phone II, Roll phone, the redesigned Roll phone, and the Quartz telephone. This time, it not another stunning cellphone but an e-lighter, which is basically an USB lighter but with an innovative and chic make.

You are working late in front of computers. You are watching suspenseful and breathtaking movies. You are receiving disheartening emails. Right at these moments, you want to grab a cigarette to lift your mood but happen to have no lighter with you. Can you imagine how dismaying this is? The e-lighter is specially meant for such times.

It’s no doubt a beautiful design but I am really looking for Tao Ma to come up with some matchless cellphone concept as he is too good with his cellphone designs.

Samsung has come up with male adapter USB antenna for a cell phone. This is ideal for people who travel a lot and has a habit of forgetting their cell phone charger. First glance at the product reveals that much like other Samsung products, this is smart, simple and of course marketable.

There is speculation within the media that Samsung has filed a patent for a new USB charging mechanism for their phones. Point to be noted here is that the antenna is also a USB port in the Samsung patent, which is a real good news.
