Advantages: use for more than one computer, fast, easy to install Disadvantages: none
...This is a good high speed usbadapter to use. I have used it for the past few weeks and I really like it. I have had no problems with it and it is very easy to install. I paid 50.00 for mine and I believe that it was a wise choice on my part.
I can run my computer faster and its security is pretty good too. The computer seems to go 2 to 3 times as fast as it had been going. You can plug in up to five ports or so for access. I have a total of three computers running on it and it works great for all.
I have not even had any of them freezing up or anything. I really like how it works. You can use it for your wireless.
This adapter is small but works as good as most. It does not have any anteena on it either....

Notebook computers and USB, the Universal Serial Bus, should be a happy marriage of two convenience-oriented technologies. But older notebooks may not be equipped with USB ports, and in that case, you'll need ADS Technologies' USB Port Adapter to use USB peripherals with your notebook. Why would you want to use USB peripherals? Well, for one thing, USB offers very fast data transfer rates, which is superior to standard serial and parallel port connectivity. Furthermore, over one hundred USB devices can be connected to a single USB port, and all those devices are capable of sharing the same system resources such as a single IRQ setting, to minimize conflicts between devices. USB devices are also hot-swappable, meaning that your computer recognizes them as soon as they are connected, without the need to reboot the system. ADS Tech's USB Port Adapter consists of a Type II PC Card connected to a USB port hub with two ports. The PC Card uses CardBus technology and is usable only by CardBus-enabled notebooks. It also requires an operating system which supports USB, such as Windows 98. The USB Port Adapter comes with a user's manual to guide you through the quick and easy setup procedure. If your notebook doesn't support USB, get this adapter by ADS Technologies, and get connected to USB devices with speed and simplicity!

Samsung YP-E64
Review of Samsung YEPP 32 MB by

Advantages Great looking, has all features you would need. Disadvantages Poor LCD display, and a bit expensive.
...The Samsung YP-E64 is expensive, retailing at up to £200 but available on the internet for about £160. Overall a very decent unit. The 64mb holds about 20 songs lasting an hour. It also has a voice recording facility although very poor quality and a telephone book utility which is usefull. If you have a USBport get the USBadapter or get a different player that utilises this helpful option. Looks are great with stylish earphones and amazingly compact design. Annoyingly doesn't always recognize track names and lengths though still plays the music correctly. 2 AAA batteries last for about 10 hours of playback. Also a memory expansion slot for addiditional 32 or 64mb cards costing about £60 and £100 respectively. Added memory very useful to have a good range of music....

XBOX 360 Wirelss Adapter - Great
Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter by
andy17898
taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages No wires, easy to use Disadvantages Pricey
...I bought this product from Argos, around a month ago.
Its brilliant really, its very simple to use, its purely a usb connection.
You Plug the usb cable leading from the adapter into the usbport, and it has two pin type things, that click into holes that are already there, to hold your wireless adapter, in place, on the xbox console itself.
As soon as i searched with it, it came up with many networks near me, and showed the signal strength, then connected to the one i wanted within seconds.
My xbox is in my bedroom, in my attic, under a beam, where you would imagine the signal would be low, but no, it was far from it, and worked great.
Its a brilliant product, which saves all the wires, the only downfall is the price, its really expensive....

Review of Kingston DataTraveler USB flash drive - 128 MB by

Advantages Power, USB, Design, Reliable Manufacturer Disadvantages A little out of date, Size
...into the USBport next to the one that is currently been used by the flash drive then there may be a problem of it been a little tight.
Like most flash drives today this one is plug and play which means as soon as the flash drive is inserted into the USBport it is automatically installed ready to be used.
Power
*********
The beauty about the USB flash drives that are being used today is that the USBadapter that is being used only has to be inserted into any USBport on a PC and the same adapter can be used to power the flash drive as well as transferring data back and forth between the computer and the flash drive.
Manufacturer Information

Kingston has been around for while now. I remember getting some old fashioned Kingston Memory for an Intel 486 which now seems like ancient technology compared to today however...
