LaCie is outing a few new wares today, and despite your best wishes, they ain't hard drives. Up first, we've got the Core4 and Core7 USB hubs, both of which are modeled after the Sam Hecht-designed LaCie
Little Disk. As the model names indicate, the Core4 includes four USB ports and a built-in mini-USB cable, while the Core7 packs six USB sockets as well as a built-in extractable mini-USB cable. Both devices are shipping now in Warm Gray, Blue and Orange for $9.99 and $19.99 in order of mention. In related, somewhat less titillating news, the company is also introducing three new lines of mobile and desktop hard drive bags: the LaCie Cover, LaCie Coat and LaCie Cozy. The trio arrives in a rainbow of hues and models for 2.5- and 3.5-inch HDDs, with prices starting at $8.90. Huzzah?

I've heard of bags for keeping iPod's or cell phones in, but I'm glad I can finally get a nice bag to carry my 3.5" hard drive around with me.
I'm gonna buy both and mod the box to fit in the bag (orviceversa)
would of been cooler if the bag comes with a core i7 cpu inside.
Hmmm, those hard drive bags seem like a rip of these hard drive transporters our company has been using for a few months. http://siliconforensics.com/ps-130-16-hard-drive-transporter-preorder.aspx
stupid.
enough of usb hub news, please, engadget.
What are you talking about? This is the first one in a while
