USB Hamster: My Son Has One

Every time I leave the house my daughter asks when are we getting a cat (I tell her when she is 11, way off yet) and she will keep asking and asking.
So last time I went out we were at Bluewater Shopping centre in the UK, we visited a gadget shop and in there they had a battery powered gadget which was a hamster (not a real one) running on a wheel.

Well I bought this for her and my son and said this will do for now and in another 3 years you can have a real cat.

Portable Battery Backup Using USB

My first battery backup was for my PC and it still sits here next to me (what a big device it is), now I must admit it has saved me losing work on many occasions thanks to power cuts but one let down is the size of the backup power supply.

Now this USB gadget caught my eye as it’s a USB Power Backup with not as much backup as my computer one, but can become a lifesaver to many. This can be used in many ways like extending your call time on your phone (that vital extra minute really helps).

You can also use the USB Power Backup on Mp3 players and cameras as well, we guess as its USB its uses are only limited by your mind.

The device only costs $20 from Brando which we feel is a good deal considering what a portable battery backup can do for you.
