Lego my Yego

These I find really fascinating. You can keep plugging them in. At some point, you'd run out of power, but still, I have to wonder: how many Yegos to the power limits of your USB bus?

Traxdata has made a 2GB flash drive that is also a 2 port USB hub. Plug in the drive and add a USB port at the same time. According to their ads, you could plug two into one, plug the one into your computer, and have three 2 GB partitions on your computer.

It looks cool. The write-up even descibes the 'unique and funky design' as a product feature. If I didn't have 4 GB Cruzer's spilling out of my work trousers, I'd get a couple.

That said, keep in mind that anything powered by your USB (like this device) is pulling from a limited supply. There are limits. Still, if you've ever found your machine running one port short of your needs, you might give the Yego a glance.
