USB washing machine connects gadgets, tells time and reads memory cards
Posted by admin on November 10th, 2009
Here comes a 3-in-1 gadget which claims itself as a washing machine powered by a USB port of your computer. In fact, it’s a 3-in-1 gadget that features three USB ports, a little digital clock face to tell time and also works as a memory card reader.
The design of this 3-in-1 gadget seems to have little problem. Apparently, in the picture, the three USB ports are found at the bottom of the device, which you need to turn it over and flip the connectors out to connect to your USB devices. But while keeping the three USB ports connected with gadgets, the clock face will need to face down, which will not allow the user to read the time. This could be the little sacrifice in order to clam all the three functions into a desktop washing machine.
