People, especially businessman are constantly on transit and this has necessitated at least now than ever before in the history of technology, the need for more sophisticated, portable and easy to use gadgets.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Gadgetry is just one among many. The USB devices connect people to more computers and peripherals. It has the power to connect computer users with a whole new world of PC experiences. According to the USB has many functions and it has revolutionarised the way we now communicate with the rest of the world. Among some of its very crucial functions is that the USB now affords people, especial the businessman on transit the ability to connect back to his/ her office by means of video conferencing from anyway in the world.

The has been defined as your instant connection to the fun of digital photography or the limitless creative possibilities of digital imaging. The USB is a very cool gadget that allows us to connect with other people through the power of PC-telephony and video conferencing. This device has several uses some of which are the following:

1. The USB card reader:

This is a small and portable (the size of a keychain really, this image works as a proof) USB2.0 card reader that has 2 versions compatible with the following memory cards:

• the old Memory Stick - launched in 1998 by Sony
• the Secure Digital card, best known as SD card – launched in 2000 by Panasonic, SanDisk and Toshiba, it was like direct competition between the two cards.

To better suit the portability function, the USB plug is foldable – capable of being folded up and stored as you can see in this image.It’s also very light and very small as previously mentioned. If you can’t imagine the real size of something with the following dimensions – 33×33x18mm – then check this site out: Sizeasy .With the assistance of SIzeasy the Card Reader is compared with a matchbox, check the image and get your own conclusion:

The USB Cube Card Reader can be a useful device to transfer files of your memory cards to/from your laptop since you can take it virtually anywhere, and

Then there is the magnetic LED scrolling badge.There are a number of uses for this little magnetic LED scrolling badge. The magnetic back allows you to stick it to your PC case for example, allowing you to talk smack without actually talking. Cordless operation means it will look clean no matter where you put it. Battery life is claimed to be 12 hours with a full charge via your PC USB port. Both English and Japanese characters can be displayed on the badge as well. Up to 512 letters can be programmed into the device with eight different cases available (which I assume to mean something to the Japanese since we only have two cases in English). The price is set at 4580 Yen and it is available now. I think this would make a cool name badge for the office too.

USB Ghost Radar.
Japanese have always found ways to associate stuff in real-life with USB flash drive. The most notable examples are the USB Sushi and USB Dimsim. While the plastic food has no real correlation with functionality of the USB flash drive, it serves to jump-start sales. And now, they have come up with a GhostRadar USB flash memory that detects, well, ghosts.

USB Heating Seat Pad. check: In olden times, Japanese life centered around tatami; pretty much most of daily activities take place in this tatami-carpeted rooms. Instead of sitting on sofa or armchairs, people sit or kneel down on soft seating pads. Now, you know what this doormat look-alike is all about, and this USB version is supposedly to keep us warm during winter times.

USB Noodle Strainer. check: Preparing soumen with this "USB cookware" is quite a unique experience. Simply add cold or iced water to the oval-shaped plastic bowl, connect this strainer to a USB port, and the machine will create a water flow. Next, place the pre-cooked noodles into the water channel, and they will be carried along with the circulation of the water.
