A modem, a phone, an MP3 player
And on top of that, the Toshiba G450 is a USB drive for 160 MB of data, too. Talk about multi-tasking. This 3G phone functions as a 3.6Mbits-per-second modem on mobile broadband. Unusual in design and function, the G450 automatically charges when connected to a laptop via USB. Like a regular mobile phone, it can take calls, send SMS and works as an alarm clock. The light and compact G450 had reviewers scratching their heads because of its tiny screen and the unique keypad layout, which takes a little getting used to. It comes in three colors: white, red and black.

Useful or Not?

Cast doubts on the usefulness and practicality of these USB gadgets if you will, but these might just make your soda cooler and your workspace a bit more colorful and literally full of life. The USB Mini Fridge comes in red and black and holds one soda can. Its cooling pad becomes 8.5 degrees cold after only five minutes. The USB Fantastic LED Fan cools you down and lights up your area with 5 colors and 32 light patterns. Since it’s LED, the lights themselves don’t generate so much heat and defeat the purpose. The USB greenhouse provides artificial lighting for your marigold and reminds you when your plant needs watering. But seriously now, how dark can your workplace be?

When Bling Becomes Boring

In the first of their series on the excessively luxurious, Trend Hunter named 26 gadgets that are “bling bling boring”, among them, miiSTOR’s platinum £15,500 USB drive encrusted with 456 white diamonds and a SanDisk memory core, and Philips’ heart-shaped Active Crystals 1 GB drive with Silver Shade crystals in Ceralun and polished stainless steel. There is no need to answer the question of practicality here. That much is already clear. These products are fashion accessories that happen to be useful jewelry for the tech-savvy elite, not for moneyed nerds who would be better off with Atari merch. Expect more of these boring bling to come until we can all yawn collectively.
