Kensington's just released the world's first Wireless USB universal docking station, conveniently named the Wireless USB Docking Station. The thing suppports five USB devices as well as a DVI monitor, which can then be "attached" wirelessly to your notebook whenever it comes into range. Speaker ports round out the solution, and the whole thing is compatible with any Wireless USB notebook brands. You'll be able to pay $230 for one at the end of the month at Dell and Kensington. Is the convenience of not having to plug in five USB devices (or one, if you have a USB hub), a monitor and a speaker every time you sit down worth $230? We say yes. [Kensington]

Brando 3-Way USB Hub Doesn't Need Power Brick

See those two USB plugs on this hub gizmo from Brando? They're what makes this thing a little bit neat, even if its looks aren't anything special. Most USB hubs need to draw energy from a power brick if you're going to load them up with much more than a memory stick and charge up a gadget. But this one plugs into two USB ports on your PC for more juice, so you can connect up to three different devices and charge or sync your phone or camera at the same time via the mini-USB connector. It's available now for $12. [Brando]

7-Port USB Hub Gives You 3 More Ports Than Usual

Why settle for the four-port USB hubs littering up the component section of your local Fry's when you can grab a 7-port hub for the same price. Brando has a $26 7-port powered USB hub available now, which means if you buy two, you're never going to run out of ports for all the crazy USB gadgets we feature here. Of course, it's no 16-port hub, but this doesn't look like something from the early '80s. – Jason Chen
