It has a plug for external power, but it doesn't come with a power cord. Not much else to say. But I wouldn't want to carry it around anyways. This is the best USB Port for Laptops ever. SO small. Don't know where to get one for it.
It works great for that. So I bought this instead to use for plugging in a USB drive for backups. It does not work with my Palm LifeDrive nor my son's Sansa Clip MP3 player. This is a great, discreet little hub. When I replaced my Dell monitor, I lost my convenient desktop USB hub. It also works fine for my two cameras, my PSP and my GPS units.
The supplied cord to connect from the hub to the computer is only about 1 foot long, and it also charges my iPhone 3g without the optional power source as long as there is only one thing plugged in at once. Overall I've had nothing but good experiences with this hub, it does what I want.Keep in mind when buying hubs that almost all will not come with a external power source, so in order to charge an iPod or anything like that, you must have as little amount of power going to the hub or any other connected devices. I bought this a couple months ago and haven't any problems with it yet. It will however allow all four ports to transfer files at normal speeds simultaneously.
but it seems to be hit and miss for what seems to work on it for me. So IDK, maybe its defective but otherwise its fine. I have used this hub on 2 different computers so I know its the hub. For example, my zune chord won't work with it (computer won't pick up the zune), my mouse won't get picked up, while things like my USB phone cord, or my cooler fan for my laptop will, and other things will.
Bought this item as I was running out of USB.So far I have devices that are not "power hungry".1-Keyboard2-Mouse3-Tablet (Wacom)4-Printer.So far it is working perfectly, no complaints of any kind.In terms of looks, is a really neat device, construction is great, illuminated USB indication is cool.
