The La Cie Huby. Props to the Frenchmen for bringing a genuine bit of style to a muchly boring genre. The result? A non geeky design triumph that wouldn’t look out of place in your trophy cabinet. The device incorporates 4 x USB 2.0 ports and 2 x Firewire ports and comes complete with a passel of cables and attachments. Neat. $79.99.
Experience the art of connectivity with this fun, stylish USB & FireWire combination hub for your PC or Mac. Designed exclusively for LaCie by Ora-Ïto, the Huby’s round shape, glossy white polycarbonate finish, and flexible cables give it a distinctive, modern look. Add 4 USB ports and 2 FireWire ports to your computer system and connect up to six devices simultaneously. Bundled with 8 flexible, twistable cables (5 USB 2.0 & 3 FireWire 400), a USB fan, a USB light, a USB extension cable and a FireWire 400 extension cable, it comes fully equipped for easily making all of your connections.
I saw a good review at usb-hub . Looks a bit impractical to me.
