I'm sure it doesn't have the official Disney stamp of approval but nonetheless the Disney Mickey USB Hub will connect up to 4 devices at t he same time.

Many women have difficulties getting pregnant and usually the solution is IVF. This is an expensive method that sometimes needs to be repeated over and over until successful. DuoFertility is an advanced fertility monitor that measures a woman’s temperature 20,000 times, every 24 hours to provide a very accurate reading of temperature changes in your Basal Body Temperature. Ovulation causes a change in BBT enabling and the DuoFertility indicates when a couple should try and conceive. "DuoFertility automatically collects BBT for analysis, and in addition a number of other general fertility clues and health symptoms, such as ovulation pain, cervical mucus quality and illness, can be manually input into the monitor to aid the analysis and improve the prediction."  The best part is, there is no peeing into any applicator to get results. Just wear the DuoFertility sensor under your arm and DuoFertility will do the work for you.

The Twilight New Moon Soundtrack 2 GB USB Flash Drive should keep those Twilighters at bay for a little while longer till the movie is released.

This interesting shaped speaker cheekily borrows its name from a site we all know, but cleverly enough does it in a way not to get sued. The U-Tube Speakers is just that - a speaker shaped as a U. Don't expect anything more from it other than that. It will connect to just about anything through its 3.5MM jack, has an on/off and volume control button. It's pretty cheap at $19 bucks but being that you only get 2W of sound out of it - I would save your money and go buy something else.

Companies just keep coming up with different ways to use USB Flash Drives. The latest is to put video games on them. Dane-Elec has chosen Rainbow Six Lockdown , Blazing Angels and Fashion Designer - older games that you probably had on a 3 1/2 floppy drive, that can now be installed off of a USB Drive. The prices are relatively cheap at $19.99 or $24.99. And when you are done with the game, you have a 8GB Flash Drive to use. Sadly though, in any medium these games probably suck...
