Handy travel hub2008-11-30
I got this to use with my laptop, since it only has two USB ports (and one is permanently reserved for the mouse, because I don't like touchpads). The Belkin Mini Hub has a clever, compact design because:
1. The cable is built into the hub, eliminating the need for an extra USB cable -- one more item to tangle up or lose in the backpack black hole. A word of advice, however: it is evident that this hub was conceived to be used on laptops, since the cable is very, very short. There is no way you can hook it up to a regular desktop USB port and have the mobility to switch USB devices around on it unless you use a USB extension cable to bring the hub to the front of the desktop.
2. The square shape, with one USB port on each side, allows you to hook up wider or thicker devices (like, for instance, a Delkin e-Film CompactFlash card reader) with no problem. Most hubs I saw on amazon.com have the USB ports all piled up one atop the other, or very close together side by side. This layout only allows you to plug in devices that have USB cables (like the Sandisk CompactFlash card reader). There is simply no space for any other design. Since I try to avoid carrying extra items when I travel -- less to pack, less to forget, less to misplace --, I prefer devices with built-in USB connectors. And for this the Belkin Mini Hub is perfect.

Wimdows XP Pro SP3 recognized the Mini Hub instantly, like it should, and the devices currently connected to it (an external hard drive and my MP3 player) are working perfectly. I've got nothing to complain about.

nice gadget!2008-11-26
I love this little hub.. it does exactly what it was bought to do.. I use it on my new macbook and it works like a charm..

Except for one little issue, it doesnt recognise my portable 320GB Lacie little disk..i have to connect the drive diectly to the computer.. maybe it is an apple issue or the hub is not powerful enough... I will just have to sort that one out... I dont know but apart form that..works great..

Plug in iphone, two flashdrives and it works so no complaints except for the above..
Strongly recommended..

This is a great product for my needs - I was plugging and unplugging devices into my one spare usb port before I got this - now they all get to stay accessable.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers.
