    Belkin TuneSync Dock and Powered 5-Port USB Hub - F5U255UK

    Think of anything, no matter how mundane and trivial, and there’s at least one person out there who’s obsessed with it. Airline schedules. Shoelaces. Artichokes. Right now, some weirdo somewhere is diligently updating a website or organizing a convention or printing up t-shirts dealing with some subject that most of the world barely even notices.

    Somebody at Belkin feels this way about USB, and frankly, we’re concerned. A search of the Belkin online catalog yields no less than 168 results for USB? Now, we dig universal standards for device interface as much as the next online retailer, but we’d feel better if that USBophilic Belkin exec found another hobby. You know, for his own sake.

    In the meantime, though, we’ll just keep enjoying products like the Belkin TuneSync Dock and 5-Port USB Hub. Not only is it a chromatically-correct iPod charging dock, complete with a stereo-out jack for speakers (not included) or headphones (not included), it also functions perfectly well as a compact, 5-port AC-powered USB hub. In half a jiffy, you can add five extra USB ports to your mac or PC without having to hack open your computer case. We don’t support Belkin’s unhealthy fixation on USB, but we’ll sure as hell take advantage of it when it suits us. Even if we don’t own an ipod we can buy a few and just peddle them on ebay.

    We just wonder how many of these that Belkin exec has in his office.

    Not quite an impressive.. but not bad value (especially if bought it bulk).
