USB Security Lock



This little device is basically a security lock for your USB ports. It can help protect your data and prevent illegal access to confidential information. It works by placing a blocker (the lock) inside the USB port which will prevent any connection. This lock is the same shape as a USB connector and sits in the USB port. It is designed to only be removed using the USB Security Lock device.

It comes with 4 locks which can be stored inside the device body, underneath the slide cover. The device shape and size are similar to a typical USB flash drive.

  • Extra USB locks can be stored inside the body
  • Includes 4 locks
  • Compatible with most desktop & notebook computers
  • Dimensions: 2.1" x 1" x .5"
  • Device color is black

Cellphone Signal Extender



A lot of technology goes into making your cellphone work. So you would think that we would be more understanding of dropped calls and garbled conversations. Nope. Nothing gets geeks into a seething tech frenzy like poor cellphone reception... and it doesn't help that we couldn't resist the glossy black smoothness of the iPhone and AT&T sucks for cellphone service. Sad.

Well quit staring at your one-bar-worth of signal strength and pick up this handy Cellphone Signal Extender for your home or office. Simply mount the included antenna near a window and run the coax cable to the base booster unit. You get 2500 square feet of prime signal area (enough to cover 2-3 rooms on two different floors). We went from 1 bar... to 5 at the ThinkGeek secret headquarters and made our iPhones very happy in the process.

Samsung SPH-Z400 For Sprint-Nextel

The Samsung SPH-Z400 for Sprint-Nextel is a rugged walkie-talkie phone with digital camera and MP3 player. From the photos it appears to be a classic Nextel style phone. Not much else is known about the Samsung SPH-Z400 at the moment, but be sure to check back soon for more details.

As of now, it is scheduled to make it’s way to Sprint-Nextel stores nationwide early-mid 2008.

Samsung F490 and P720 touch phones photographed

Samsung’s impending F490 and P720 touchscreen phones have been spotted outside of official press events with new details to match, says Russian site Mobile-Notes. The F490 (shown) is now known to include haptic feedback, vibrating the phone when a user touches a control on its 3.2-inch display; though slim, it has a 5-megapixel camera and (currently Europe-only) HSDPA 3G access. Its interface is better than that of the LG Viewty it will challenge on launch, the Russian report says.

The P720 is similar to what has been expected with a 3.2-megapixel camera and a smaller 2.6-inch screen; the device now carries the Duos name to reflect its dual SIM card slots that allow frequent use of two different services without losing phone numbers or suffering roaming charges. Neither phone has had an official release date set, though speculation places announcements of one or both at this year’s Mobile World Congress in February
