Everyone Hearts USB

It seems like USB has overnight become the de-facto power source for all of our favorite gadgets. 
While it may not be the most advanced technology out there, there’s something about its simplicity and usability that we really like. 

It is a technology that just about anyone can understand. Just plug it in and rock on.  No batteries, no Bluetooth, just a physical connection.  Its success may be attributed to its similarity to its older cousin, the standard two-prong plug, regardless, people just get it. 

Over the last 2 ½ years, we’ve just seen more and more things utilizing USBs.  Even Virgin America’s new fleet of Jets will be outfitted with USB portals.  Plus, it’s compatible with both Macs and PCs.   

Here are a just a handfull of some of the USB toys out today:
