The USB Hubman

By Shay • Mar 3rd, 2008 • Category: Bonus Happy Fun Time     

Bring your USB hub to life with the delightful USB Hubman.

The soft-looking, smiley-faced USB hub Hubman (USBハブ「ハブマン」) is a cute little guy with some great practicality. His arms and legs serve as four high-speed USB 2.0 ports.

Get him, name him, plug him in and have him chill on your desktop while you work. He’s comparably compact to his boring, non-human-like counterparts too.

The Hubman is pretty popular and available at Japanese convenience stores like Lawson.

The USB Hubman runs for 2000-yen ($19 USD).

    I wonder if he would be able to feed in enough power for the devices.
