Cool Gadgets – The Cassette Tape USB Hub

Check out this cool Retro gadget, the Cassette Tape Four Port USB Hub, which looks exactly like an old cassette tape.

It comes with four USB 2.0 ports and measures 97 x 61 cm, and is bound to look cool on your desk.

Once upon a time a cassette tape was a passport to blowing a Sunday afternoon making “The Best Rock Collection in the World Ever II”, nowadays a computer the same size can power a space station (and store your whole music collection). That’s technology for you. Something had to be done with all those redundant cassettes, and in a wonderfully retro meets techno moment, a bright spark has neatly inserted a quad set of USB ports into it. Now you can power up all your myriad of USB devices with a blast from the past. There may no longer be tape hanging randomly from telegraph poles around the country anymore, but the icon can live on on your desktop.

The Cassette Tape four port USB hub is available to buy online for $24 from IWOOT.
