Wednesday, August 02, 2006

What have in common an air purifier, a clock and a thermometer? Nothing apart from being the elements that compose one of the strangest but most useful USB gadgets we will ever see. We are talking about the last USBgeek product, the USB Air Purifier & Thermo Alarm Clock, that they sell on their website for 32 dollars.

This device clearly distinguishes himself from the other products in this niche because of his air purifier. Fed via the USB port it covers a recommended area of 9 square meters and uses a negative ion delivery system to clean the air. Please beware that due to the system it uses the USB Air Purifier & Thermo Alarm Clock can create health problems if you are allergic or asthmatic.

Another good feature of this 8.8 x 8.1 x 8.4cm gadget is a thermometer that detects every 10 seconds the temperature and works in the 32F-122F (0-50C) range of values. Simply pressing a switch you can change the scale from Fahrenheit to Centigrade so this is a great gift also for non US geeks.

The USB Air Purifier & Thermo Alarm Clock has a digital clock with a backlit display that lets you see apart from the obvious hour and minute also the day of the week, month and day. If you do not want to continuously look over the display the device also has an hour reminder that beeps every hour or you can set the alarm to sound at a certain time.

Lastly the USB Air Purifier & Thermo Alarm Clock comes with a LED that can change to three different colors (the classic red, green and blue). This feature just like the others may not be earth-shaking but if you put them together you obtain a useful device that besides will certainly attract the attention of your friends and co-workers.
