USB Humidifier

Juniper Foo | Dec 06, 2004

There just aren’t enough USB ports on a laptop for the new weird and wacky USB-powered gizmos being dreamed up out there, if you ask us. The latest, from Japanese company thanko, is a plug-and-play humidifier which ranks up there with the USB coffee cup warmer and massager. Based on specs, the humidifier atomizes 35ml of cool mist per hour, utilizing an oscillating mesh formula technology. A failsafe feature turns off the device after 2.5 hours. Mac users have not been forgotten as this'll plug into any port so long as it's USB.
