USB Monitor

This monitor is small. I mean really small. It measures 77mm x 127mm x 17mm, with a 4.3 inch backlit WVGA (800 x 480) display. So what is so special about a tiny monitor anyways? We see them all the time in our gadgets and in our cars. This tiny unit is 100% USB powered. That’s right, no power cables, no VGA cables, just a single USB cable does it all.

The idea is not to have this act as your main monitor (although I guess you could if you were using something like an NSLU2) but to use it to house a chat window or a widget so that it doesn’t get in the way of what you are working on. For $200 you get the unit with a built in kickstand to keep it upright. Yeah I know, $200 is a tad expensive, but if you don’t want to deal with all of the extra cords then you will have to pay the price.
