i dont have an "any usb solt"?!
This would be an instant buy if they were only called Brawndo.
Brawndo: It's got electrolytes!!
U liek mooviez 2?
this might be useful if i worked in a games store, otherwise why would i have a ds , a ds lite and a dsi?
Some octopuses like playing on more than one console at a time.
~OFF TOPIC
Am I the only one who notices that the number of "Highest Ranked" dropped exponentially recently??
Most to all of the Highest Ranked comments have been relegated to High Ranked or Neutral. They probably raised the amount of up ranks it takes to get High ranked.
I thought it was just my computer, but there must be something wrong with the comment system. If you click the time/date stamp under the commentor's name, you'll see their correct rating. This is even affecting the older posts. Ones that were Highest Ranked are now Higher or Neutral until you click the timestamp...
yeah... it's weird that. I tend to go into the comment branch to send links, and notice that I've actually been highest ranked...
Personally, I have never understood how there could be more than one Highest Ranked. Perhaps those PhDs running engadget don't understand the concept of -est.

Highest, as in, "This is the highest a post can be ranked." I'm guessing, anyway.
And it's so handy! I used to just scroll to the blue boxes to read only the good comments.
I'm pretty sure that can't be good for your USB Solts...
Don't you need a powered hub to avoid damaging your devices?
i dunno... it's been available in hong kong for at least 4 months.
Is it just me or are there only five branches from that USB cable?
Edit: *four.
You are correct; however, when they say "7-in-1", they mean that it can charge seven different objects. They're counting each of the PSP variants as separate, and likewise for the DS. Total them up and they count seven. :)
Though it's already been said, I need to rant momentarily about those "35-in-1 flash card readers." I mean seriously; you're counting the one slot that (e.g.) physically accommodates Memory Stick-sized items like ten times for each different variant of the Memory Stick, even if the different variants have the same physical interconnect...
PSPs can't be charged through a USB cable... atleast the last one i had which claimed to didn't. You had to like turn it on without the battery pack, and just after you see the green light, you have to insert in the battery pack, otherwise it won't turn on or charge.
The PSP end of the plug isn't USB. It's a normal PSP 5v plug.
They can't? Thats news to me! I must have imagined playing on my PSP for all those hours after charging it from my PC.
Sounds like there is something very wrong with your PSP BTW.
I believe only the 2000's and up can charge via USB.
You must have the "fat" PSP. I have that one too, but my friend has a slim one, which charges with USB. So don't get upset
If it had ipod as well....it would be perfect!
In deed there is, just google "5 in 1 USB Cable" and you will find those aren't new at all.
I have one of those cable for almost a year now, and it has been working great with my ipod AC adapter.
This isn't my dream come true...
So first people have to look for the "any key", now for the "any USB slot"? :\
"USB solt" in fact..
The USB Solt is under the Any key, just lift it up.
Really, when you say 'OFF TOPIC' we all know its so not relevant.
D'oh to me for not putting it in reply to someone elses comment.
Pfffffffffffffffffft I've had one of these for a while. They're made in HK and can be CHEAPLY bought off ebay.
hmm, gotta get me one of these in preparation for the Pandora
Too bad the GBA Micro is always forgotten.
Wow, people still use those?!
Wow, people EVER used those?
It's a shame that everyone just cant agreee on a single interface. Nokia is the closest I've ever seen to managing this.
Very much this. I have two "universal" AC adaptors and several gadgets that neither of them fit. Everything has its own plug. Someday aliens will invade, and we'll all be screwed because nobody can find the correct plug to power the death lasers.
Most of my devices use USB mini (T-Mobile G1, BT Headset, mp3 player)...so I try to stick with devices with those plugs...
by the way, can we trust the company that brought us the dangerous looking 16-port 2-computer usb hub?

Looks kinda dangerous to me....
It's what USB ports crave.
Correction: It's what usb solts crave.
USB slots, perhaps?
No, I'm pretty sure it's "solts"

Where do you put the USB cable in that guy?
solts.
Hmm... an intriging title for a really boring cable. I was expecting a cable that could charge iPods, cell phones as well as game devices. But no.
Why do plants crave it?
