Most of Tokyo-based Thanko’s USB accesories are utterly useless, but I don’t know what to think of their latest creation, a 80-port USB board [JP]. Yes, they put 80 USB ports on one board. You can’t transfer data over the ports but only charge your gadgets though, it’s not a USB hub.
The board is sized at 200×200×19mm and obviously needs to be plugged into a wall socket to work (100V). The picture below shows it with just 40 of the 80 ports used.
I don’t know who’d be interested in owning such a monster, but Geek Stuff 4 U is offering it to people living outside Japan for $208.68 plus shipping (it went on sale in Japan today).
Wow.. This is cool :)
ummm why the hell would you even need 80 slots WTF
no its not xandra
Man, too bad you can’t use this to transfer data. I would have finally had a use for those 20+ jump drives I’ve got lying around my house.
would only be useful to companies that use devices that are charged by USB for their staff.
I think you guys are missing the possibilty here. This would be perfect for those airport kiosks that charge you to charge your phone. Heck, they might even have something similar in that box that has all the cords coming out of it
Its to display your collection of USB Humping Dogs
It is part of a system for people to be able to recharge their devices en masse on trains/planes and such.
