I hate it when people think of really simple cool stuff that I don’t think of. I’ve been trying to think of a clever original USB drive enclosure for ages. Wood is cool, so is a plush toy and so is a humping dog. There’s a whole bunch of USB thingies we’ve come accross, after [...]

  When the first Nintendo DS first launched in 2004, we were instantly fans. It was pretty damn groundbreaking, with its touch screen gaming and dual screens.
