Octopus Cable Charges 10 Devices for Just $10

via Gizmodo by Mark Wilson

There are USB cords and there are USB cords...and there are USB cords with like 10 different adapters coming out. But rarely are such monstrosities this cheap.

The $10 Octopus USB Cable has 10 different tentacles (ignore the fact that octopi usually have 8) to charge pretty much any mobile device you could own�most probably at a rate of 1 at a time. Specifically, that mix includes:

� Nokia 2.06mm (or 2mm)
� Nokia 3.5mm
� Sony PSP
� Motorola (V3 series) & HTC and other phones using USB Mini 5 pin as a charging port
� Micro USB (for Motorola V8�)
� LG
� Samsung (20P (s))
� Samsung (20P (M))
� Sony Ericsson Fast Port
� iPhone / iPod (for charging and data)

Here's your cold, bitter, daily dose of hardware obsolescence: Just a month after passing the already-ridiculous 128GB barrier, Kingston has released the 256GB DataTraveler 300. It isn't available in the US, but if/when it is, it'll run around $900.
