Connecting monitors to computers via USB isn’t really that exciting anymore, but this little dreamboat from Century Japan does something much more than that: it runs on bus power. In other words, this thing is powered just like your trusty flash drives, mice and soda can-shaped USB humidifiers. A tiny, portable, fully functional secondary monitor would be extremely useful for mobile power users, and of interest to just about anyone with a spare USB port. Possibly an issue: I’m not sure that “extremely useful” quite translates to “worth $US200.” [OhGizmo via Slashgear]

Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 2:32 AMWhat’s the crack with getting hold of one of these?! I’ve e-mailed Century countless times (sales@jpcentury.com) but nobody has replied to my e-mails. I’ve tried retailers (http://www.carcomputer.co.uk) too but they are awaiting stock from Century. Does anyone have any idea who might have a few rogue pieces of stock I can snap up?
