The Power Station Organizer comes from ThinkGeek! Available for $19.95

From the ThinkGeek website:

Control Your Power Adapter Jungle

No matter how hard you try it’s virtually impossible to charge the myriad devices needed by the average geek without spawning a cable disaster. Wires trailing all the your desk and multiple power bricks crammed into one tortured power strip is pretty much the price of having cool technology. Or is it? The PowerStation Cable Organizer has arrived to clean up your cable Chernobyl and make all your devices charge together in harmony.

Simply pop open the PowerStation and plug in all your power adapters onto the internal power strip. You even get included cable ties to neaten things up. Then drape the charging plug end of each cable through the handy front slots. Close the lid and viola! tidy cables. But now comes the best part… Slide the movable partitions to accommodate up to three devices on top of the power station. Plug in your now short and neat cables and charge away… only one AC cord needs to come from the PowerStation into the wall or a power strip.

Product Features
Accommodates up to three devices using adjustable dividers with rubber bumpers that lock in place.
Inner power strip supplies power for up to 3 devices
Includes an extra short AC cord to accommodate oversized adapters
Cable ties included for internal cable management
One AC cord from the PowerStation charges all your devices

According to DailyTech, “HP has developed a chip smaller than a single grain of rice that’s able to store 512KB and transmit and receive information using Wi-Fi standards at 10Mbit/sec”. No word yet on when this technology will go into production.

Measuring 2-4mm square, HP said that its new chip is far superior to current Bluetooth or RFID standards. Although the new chip is roughly two years away from being complete, HP said that the storage capacity of the chip is likely to grow

With Toshiba and Panasonic having already unveiled their respective 4GB SDHC cards, you didn’t really think that industry powerhouse SanDisk would be too far behind, did you? For the uninitiated, SDHC (or SD 2.0, as it’s also known) is a new FAT32-compliant format designed for capacities up to 32GB, with cards that look exactly like regular SD models, but that won’t work in any but the newest of digital devices. SanDisk’s offering — available sometime before the end of the month — is rated as a Class 2 card, meaning that it guarantees a minimum transfer rate of 2MB per second. The $200 pricetag also gets you a “free” MicroMate card reader, which is not only handy but vital to making the most out of your new card, as the SD readers you currently own won’t have any idea what to do with this thing.

Think your PDA is all that and then some? Korean-based Mobile Compia has unveiled their MC-7000, designed to not only handle the basic tasks any PDA should tackle, but also give stock traders the scoop without needing a PC or laptop, of all things, essentially bringing the chaos of Wall Street into the confines of your back pocket. Internally, it’s underpowered by a 312MHz XScale PXA270 and comes with Windows CE 5.0; a 3.5-inch LCD, CDMA connectivity, 64MB SDRAM, 128MB ROM, and a miniSD slot for expansion purposes. We do know that these will be provided (read: given) to WOORI Investment and Securities account holders, but beyond that, availability and pricing is not yet known. For you green investors who want to see this on US shelves, the outlook is woefully bearish.[Via MobileMag]
