Here are some of the most useful USB gadgets
Jabra offers a USB powered speakerphone that is great for one-on-one or small conference calls. It has wideband sound quality and an omnidirectional microphone for crystal-clear calls.
There is an integrated cable managment system and it comes with a pouch for storage and portability. Weighing a mere 250g, this speakerphone also has a headset port whereyou can plug-in any 3.5mm headphones in case you want the call to be private. (Rs 8,000 from www.jabra.com)
USB Display
The best part is that since the display connects via USB, your regular VGA/HDMI out is unused and can be used to output to another device simultaneously. The display is compatible with both PC and Mac (the touchscreen functionality is only compatible with Intel-powered Macs and needs an additional driver). ($229.99 from www.thinkgeek.com)
USB Hub & Mug Warmer
For many people, office doesn't start without a cup of morning coffee. This USB powered mug warmer has a metal heating plate protected by insulation material — it can keep your coffee warm while you take your time to enjoy it.
The heating plate works great for ceramic, glass and metal mugs. There is also a status light to indicate that the warmer is ready to be used. The additional USB ports can be used to connect other devices. (Rs 699 from www.ebay.in)
This tiny refrigerator-shaped USB accessory can actually keep a canned beverage chilled. A cool blue LED lights up when the door is opened, just like the light inside an actual fridge.
Practically, it can't cool a hot can, but it can keep an already chilled can colder for a longer time (as compared to if it was left in the open). The flamboyant red colour also adds a little zing to your desk. ($19.99 from www.thinkgeek.com)
Connecting two computers directly without a network is a pain. Thanks to Asus' Crosslink USB cable and adapter, you can quickly connect and transfer data at high-speeds between two computers
