These smartphone things are definitely getting a bit lazy. Just because they can help us navigate around, do sums and show movies, doesn’t mean they’re really earning their keep. What they really need is more storage and less attitude. And we’ve found just the thing to sort that problem out.

This Universal USB Smartphone Hub Stand is, as the name suggests, a smartphone stand. But…oh yes there’s always a but…it comes with a couple of extra cool tweaks which makes it rather interesting we thinks. For one thing, it doubles up as a full on USB hub. That’s right, you get a full complement of three full sized USB ports to replace your measly one microUSB port on the phone.

The device also lets you connect up flash drives to your phone quickly and easily, just by slotting them into the USB ports, and if that’s not enough, you can connect the unit up to an external power source and use the microUSB cable to charge up your smartphone on the go. You’re genuinely flabbergasted right now aren’t you? No really, admit it.

Anyhoo, the thing works with just about every make of smartphone, including iPhone, Blackberry, Samsung, yada yada yada, and costs just $11.00. Bargain.,
