It’s that time of year again and yeah Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet, but it’s time for the crappy Santa USB drives to arrive. Who buys these? Do you buy these? Do you have them given to you by the office dork? This one is from PQI. The limited edition Intelligent Drive-U825 Santa USB flash drive.

It’s water and dust proof so when someone gives you one and you throw it in the street, some other dude can find it and use it. It’s available in capacities from 4GB to 16GB. It can also be used as a dongle decoration. Oh joy.

Your living room still not connected enough for ya? If you answered no, then meet the USB TV Card Player. For $53.99, it allows you to check out all of your favorite digital photos and movies on your TV without the need of any expensive and complicated equipment.

Active Media Products is surely going to need a lawyer over this silly USB flash drive. Sure, it is possible that Sarah Palin agreed to have her image used to market AMP’s new “Wink” USB flash drive, (It wouldn’t be the stupidest thing she’s ever done) but chances are that’s not the case.

In any event, this thing is being touted as the world’s smallest 16GB flash drive and it’s waterproof too. It measures 1.2 x 0.5 x 0.1 inches. It’s available now for $7.95 for 2GB. 16 GB will cost you $37.95. So who wants a face on their flash drive?

I’m not even sure if you can still buy vinyl records today. I am sure there are people out there with huge record collections though that want to listen to the vinyl albums and turn their collection into digital files. Audio-Technica has unveiled its new AT-LP120-USB USB turntable system.

The 10 key calculator doesn’t know what it wants to be. It’s a calculator, but it has computer keys. When you put computer keys on a calculator, it gets bulky and the dork factor goes up dramatically.

If this is your kind of calulator, it’s also USB enabled so you can use it with a computer just like a standard numeric keypad….Which you probably already have. Unplug it from your PC and it’s a regular calculator again.

Most LCD monitors don’t feature a built-in webcam. Acer’s latest, giving their monitor family a boost, the H243HXB does just that, with a CrystalEye webcam.

Sanyo’s Eneloop Wiimote charger hit last year. It was the first to be officially approved by Nintendo and it allowed charging while your thick rubber covers were still in place, which is cool, but it quickly became obsolete by the Motion Plus.

Sanyo now has a solution. That solution is to buy a brand new charger. This new one does exactly the same thing, it just has some extra room at the bottom for the motion-plus. The device is USB-powered and charges using induction, so no contact is required. And this one will hold a pair of Wiimotes instead of just one.

Vestax has introduced the Spin, a DJ music mixer for the Mac. It measures in at 14 inches x 9.5 inches x 1.5 inches and weighs just 3.2 lbs, so you won’t throw your back out lugging it from gig to gig. It’s a combination of a DJ control surface, an audio interface and DJ software.

The device connects to your MacBook or MacBook Pro via the USB port and lets you select songs from your iTunes library. The Spin will be available in Japan this December for 30,000 Yen or about $330.
