You'd think an USB flash drive would have to be kept as far away from wet things as possible, but Ali Spagnola decided it was time for the opposite to hold true.

Charging consumer electronics is simple enough, but things may get tricky when more than one or two need to be fueled at once, so Datamation Systems created the Power Pad 16.

Contrary to what the rapid popularity rise of USB 3.0 would have one believe, the USB 2.0 interface had not managed to reach the apex of its capability when its successor gained traction.

We have already seen how ASUS created a new USB speaker so now we move to the other audio product that the company built.
