    I dont see whats so special about that hub. You should be able to get a usb hub at any office/electronics store.

    Yeah, that hub's real - you should be able to find it at Best Buy... But really, any hub will do the same thing.

    Hmm, I would definitely need a USB hub with external power, I ran out of USB ports like last year.
    I`m using so many gadgets that the USB ports simply cannot cope anymore...

    Yeah, I have one of them. It's a Belkin USB Hub as you can see the Belkin logo and the transparent case. I haven't used it ever since I moved though.
