Latest Trek gadgets: USB, iphone, and gaming

A few new Star Trek gadgety bits to share with you. Starting with the fifth character to join the Star Trek Mimobot range of USB stick people. This time Mr Sulu joins the crew, in a limited edition of 1000. Like the other characters he is available in a variety of capacities. In fact the highest capacity Sulu can hold twice that of the best of the previous four, with options ranging from eight to one-hundred-and-twenty-eight gigabytes, as well as a thirty-two gigabyte USB3 version. He looks like this:

Also good for when you're on the go are the latest Star Trek iphone cases. We've seen quite a few Trek iphone cases before, but these ones are a cut above the previous printed designs, using real fabric and 3D badges to make your phones look like TNG uniforms. PowerA have released all three TNG uniform colours, and according to StarTrek.com have plans for TOS designs later in the year.

Finally, for when you're back home, and have drained your PS3 or X-box 360 controllers playing Star Trek: The Video Game, Will Technology have released new console controller docks; to recharge your controllers, while perched above a curiously distorted version of the USS Enterprise saucer:

Latest Star Trek mobile bits

A couple of weeks ago StarTrek.com revealed a new range of accessories for mobile devices. They used digital mock-ups to show them off, but now Amazon have posted photos of the real things, and they look much more appealing! They are also, despite StarTrek.com's assertion that they would be UK exclusive, readily available on Amazon.com.

The biggest improvement from digital to real is the Starfleet delta USB stick, which is much thinner in the real world, and looks much better for it!

You can also get a much better idea of the functionality of the tablet bag, which has a shoulder strap as well as a hand hold. Here's the blue version, is also comes in yellow:

 

Not such a revelation in the design of the iphone case, but here they are to complete the set (they come in blue or yellow for iphone 5, but just yellow for iphone 4):

And here's a tenuous link: While you're out and about with your mobiles and tablets you might also find an extra portable water bottle handy too hmm? Well you're in luck, Vandor have added a collapsible water bottle to their Star Trek range. I use one of these (a Platypus one) pretty much every day; they're great because they squash into whichever bit of your bag you need it to, as opposed to solid bottles which are huge and in the way! And it's much more sustainable to use tap water (at least 1000 times less the carbon footprint than buying bottled water says How Bad Are Bananas?), so surely a good step to take towards a Star Trek like future!
