Julie do you know where I can purchase this hub?

Thanks

The packaging doesn’t give me any indication what the power requirements are. I’ll try to find out though…

The lack of a power adapter was probably just an attempt to help lower the price. Many of your less expensive hubs these days don’t come with power supplies.

Julie, FYI, the link to the QCool in this review is broken :dry:

Definitely a cool little gadget, but I agree – that lack of a powersupply is a glaring oversight.

This would be especially nice with my Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX 720, which has USB host but (obviously) cannot supply much power through the interface. That, of course, depends on having that powersupply on the hub…

There are generic powersupplies out there with selectable voltages… does the hub include any kind of spec for what voltage and amperage it’s looking for?

If that hub came with the power supply I would buy it in a minute. Do you know what the plug size and power requirements of the hub are? If USB Geek doesn’t sell it, maybe a generic one from Radio Shack would work?
