Everything Transformed

The newest style taking over the gadget market is actually a resurrected retro style of some popularity. Yes, the transformer is back, and more useful than ever.

To start with there’s the transforming Ravage flash drive. How cool is that? It’s not a mini car but a real gadget that is “more than meets the eye”. The flash drive begins in a semi normal flash drive rectangle shape and becomes a wild cat. It’s expensive ($43) for a mere 2 GB but hey it’s a transformer. The drive will be released in September.

Also on the market is the transforming mouse. That’s right, if you still use a mouse rather than a track pad your can choose from two different dinosaur designs and bring even more fun to your desk. $59.99 for either one, again they ship in September.

Finally the transforming USB hub (this one transforms twice) cannot only hold up to four transforming USB flash drives but can transform itself. Whether you want it to look like a real transformer robot or sit in disguise as a laptop this hub takes you back to the actual toys. It doesn’t fold up into its own working gadget but to a fake gadget, just like the toys do, and attempts to disguise the working hub. It also looks like it can play mini cassette tapes, weird. Comes out in September.
