Here's another non-pink gadget news that must be told to the whole wide world. Lo and behold, LaCie have released a very stylish looking USB and Firewire hub called the ‘Huby’ (pronounced as ‘hub-ee’). Huby’s round shape, glossy white polycarbonate finish, and flexible cables give it a distinctive, modern look. It's a no wonder that Huby is designed exclusively for LaCie by Ora-Ïto, an established and well known designer.

ITWire mentioned that the "Huby looks like a futuristic digital vase with cables protruding out of the top half. When connected together, it looks like the image above, but as you can see from the image below it comes in pieces, with the hub itself, a then the half-sphere top half through which the different cables emerge."

"Huby comes with a USB fan, USB light, USB extension cable and a Firewire 400 extension cable, with the extension cables designed to make it easier to connect hard drives, printers, keyboards, scanners and more. But smaller devices like USB Flash drives, Bluetooth adapters or small mp3 players like the original iPod Shuffle can conceivably just plug straight in and appear as the digital equivalent of flowers."

"Each port has its own glowing LED to indicate when a device is plugged in, with a different 8 colours in total: white, violet, green, red, yellow, orange, blue and pink. You can also daisy-chain additional LaCie Hubys via FireWire or USB for extra connectivity options."

According to LaCie, you can add 4 USB ports and 2 FireWire ports to your computer system and connect up to six devices simultaneously.

This stylish USB and Firewire Hub can be used on either PC or Mac.

The Huby retails at $79.99.

This is a rather funny gadget. An iron-shaped speaker for iPod? :P. Whomever designed this speaker must be sooo in love with ironing. Iron on an iPod? Maybe it should be called as "iRon" instead. Hey, it doesn't sound so bad afterall. (Anyone interested in the name? ;)

Anyway, since it is pretty cheap (you can get it for $10), I recommend you to just buy it, just for the heck fun of it. This Iron Speaker mimics the controls on a real iron where they are shaped like a steam button, and there's also a dial for settings. And guess what? There's even a cable which has two completely useless protrusions at the end to resemble a standard three-prong wall plug. This is so funny :P

Engadget mentioned that you also get an alarm clock whose face is on the bottom of the unit, as well as an FM radio with antenna built into that strange cable.

The Iron Speaker is available in three colors - pink, lime and orange.

Hey, why not surprise your dry cleaners or housekeeper this holiday season with this Iron Speaker? :)
